Lab Policies

• There are NO FOOD or DRINKS allowed in the lab. Students bringing food or drinks into the lab will be asked to leave or throw away the items.
• Students enrolled in at least one business school course will have automatic access to the lab (Exceptions may be applied.  If your tuition statement shows the HSB Information Resource Fee as part of your bill then that qualifies you to access the lab.)
• To use the computers, you must login to the network using your Bear_ID as the user name. Tab down to Password and enter your Bear_Id password. Keep your password a secret! You are responsible for any actions performed on the system under your login id. If you forget your password, go to https://its.web.baylor.edu/bearid, get assistance from someone at the HSB Technology Commons desk OR visit the Moody Library Garden Level Computer Lab to reset your password.
• Students receive 300 pages of extra Paw Prints credit, which is added to your PawPrints balance once the semester has begun. At the end of the semester, all remaining print credit is deleted. See Paw Prints link for more info.
• Students can request refunds, if print jobs printed "bad" due to toner levels or printer malfunctions, by logging onto https://www.baylor.edu/pawprints/login, locating the job under "Recent Print Jobs," and selecting "Request Refund". This site is monitored daily for requests and grants refunds consistent with printer errors.
• The HSB Technology Commons Lab maintains a small inventory of various checkout equipment. To reserve equipment, check with the Lab Manager, Diane Lozano, call 254-710-4137, or send an email to Diane_Lozano@baylor.edu.
