Important Student information Concerning Print Quota

                              The New Print Quota Policy at Clinton Community College
In an effort to be more environmentally conscious and to help reduce the use of paper goods here on campus, a new print quota system is being implemented starting in the Spring Semester of 2005. At the beginning of each semester, every student will start with a 400 printed page (black and white pages) allotment. A notice will be given (in the form of a “pop-up” window) when the allocation reaches 300 sheets that there are 100 sheets remaining. After the initial 400 sheets are used up, additional sheets may be purchased at a rate of $5.00 per 100 sheets. This will have no impact on most users as in the past under 2% of the student body as a whole have exceeded 400 printed sheets. Anyone wishing to check their printed sheet usage may do so here. Information about purchasing additional sheets may be found at the reference desk in the library.

                        A Word about Floppy Disks and every Student’s Network Storage
A word about floppy disks and every student’s network storage: Floppy disks are not reliable enough to be used as the only storage medium for important documents. Any document (or file of any kind for that matter) that needs to be saved should be stored on a minimum of 2 floppy disks. This way, in the event that one of the disks fails the file(s) can be retrieved from the second disk. If a floppy disk fails, there is a computer located in the back of 209M (the computer lab located near the book storage area in the library) that has a disk diagnostic and repair utility installed on it. There are printed instructions for use of the utility near the PC. In addition to floppy disks, every student can store up to 50 MB of files in their personal network folder which can be accessed from any PC connected to the network here on campus. This folder can usually be found as the H drive in Windows Explorer, My Computer, or in the Save As: window in any application. If there is no H drive present, the folder can also be accessed by opening up My Computer or Windows Explorer and typing the following into the address bar at the top: \\fp1\homes\%username% (replace %username% with your username, the same one you logon to PCs on campus with in the format of the first 4 letters of your last name and the last 4 digits of your SSN if the link doesn't connect to your network storage). Please make sure to log off when you are finished using a PC, as anyone else who uses it while it is still logged on to your account has access to your network folder.

                     Every Student Enrolled at CCC has a College Provided Email Address
Every student at CCC has an email account for their own personal use for the duration of enrollment. The web-based email client can be accessed from the home page at www.clinton.edu (click on Student Webmail at the bottom of the page) and it can also be found here. Regularly checking email is highly recommended as many professors as well as administrative staff may use this as a form of communication.
