You can pay it online, https://ircfilesvr.ucsf.edu:9192/user . Please make sure you log off from a workstation after you finish using the workstation. Otherwise, anyone can use your printing account to print.

Lab uses

The IRC was designed to be multiuse, i.e., lots of things can be going on at the same time. For example, a lecturer could be presenting to a class and other students could be doing individual work. Please do not be deterred by the presence of a class session at a time when you want to use the IRC.

General Lab Rules

Bring your own USB flash drive to save your work.


Absolutely no eating, drinking, or smoking in the IRC. Any food you brought into the lab must be sealed or in a closed container, and put away. If you are caught eating, drinking, or smoking in the IRC, your privilege to enter or use IRC facilities may be revoked.

Your privilege to enter or use IRC facilities may be revoked:

  1. if you divulge your login/password to anyone other than IRC personnel, or do not immediately report that you have reason to believe someone has knowledge of your login or password.

  2. if you permit entry to persons who are not eligible to use the IRC. (brief guest entries for touring purposes are permissible.)

  3. if you eat, drink or bring opened food or drink into the IRC.

  4. if you use the IRC ISDN or long distance lines without receiving approval from the IRC director or designated personnel. However, IP videoconference doesn't require approval for use.

Priority

Some workstations have special hardware and/or software. When someone needs to use that special software, you will have to move to another workstation. Please be polite when asking someone to move to another workstation.

  1. Workstation #28 has Xerox DocuMate 152 Scanner, DreamWeaver, and Adobe products.

  2. Workstation #36 has Epson Scanjet, DreamWeaver, and Adobe products.

Computer Security

Computer security at UCSF is taken seriously. The 1988 infestation of a computer "worm" into several UCSF computers, as well as hundreds of other computers throughout the U.S., made us acutely aware of the need for tight security. There are also constant attempts to 'break into' campus computers. For this reason the policy has been adopted that ABSOLUTELY NO USER WILL BE PERMITTED TO SHARE HIS/HER COMPUTER ACCOUNT WITH ANOTHER PERSON. Users found sharing their account with another individual will have their account deactivated and their IRC access privileges withdrawn immediately. Users found maliciously damaging or destroying another user's data or system programs, or using their account to illegally access another computer system will be referred to police for prosecution under section 502 of the California Penal Code. Your account is your personal responsibility and you will be held liable for its misuse by another individual.

Downloading/Uploading Applications

Due to legal concerns and the very real possibility of introducing and/or spreading computer viruses, you are not permitted to download or upload applications to any IRC input/output device without first receiving approval of IRC personnel. At no time are you to disable the computers virus protection software.

Your Conduct in the IRC

The IRC was designed for pharmacy students, faculty and selected staff and is available to you for the purpose of learning. All work you conduct therein must be reliant on the electronic facilities available. When that work is completed, we ask that you leave. Please: no meetings, no social gatherings and use of the facility as a room for studying for exams, etc except during Finals week. At no time you are to make IRC possible for anyone who does not fall into the three categories listed above to use its facilities. (You may, of course, bring someone into the room briefly to demonstrate its facilities.) We ask that you always be alert to the fact that the IRC is a multipurpose room. If a videoconference is being conducted, or instruction is being presented, etc., we ask that you speak softly, change workstations if necessary, and do not interfere with the rooms audio/visual equipment.
