Policies

Computer Access

Any student enrolled in a course at the Valenti School of Communication can use the CTC and its available resources. Those wishing to use the facilities will be required to obtain a CTC account for access. Accounts are issued at the lab’s help desk. Students need a Cougar Card (or government issued ID card) and their student schedule or fee bill showing current enrollment in a communication class. Lost passwords and other account information may also be accessed at the CTC help desk.

Printer Access

Students are also allowed to print up to 250 pages per semester. Color prints are charged four times more than the usual non-color print.
