Frequently Asked Lab Questions

 
Who may use the CTC Tomanek Hall Computer Labs?
 
The lab is open to all currently enrolled students, currently employed faculty and staff, and retired faculty and staff.
 
Where can I get help when using the CTC Tomanek Hall Computer Labs?
 
Check with the lab monitor on duty in TH127. They will be happy to provide assistance.
 
Do I need to sign in at the front desk each time that I use the CTC Tomanek Hall Computer Labs?
 
Yes, each time you use the lab, you must sign in at the front desk.
 
Do I need to sign out at the front desk each time that I'm finished using the CTC Tomanek Hall Computer Labs?
 
Yes, each time you are finished using the lab, you must sign out at the front desk.
 
How do I logon to the computers in the CTC Tomanek Hall Computer Labs?
 
You must logon with your Scatcat ID and password. This will allow you to save documents to your own specific folder which can be accessed by you in other labs across campus. This will also save any of your Internet Explorer bookmarks so that you may access these links from other labs across campus.
 
What do I do if the computer I'm using in the lab has problems?
 
Check with the lab monitor on duty in TH127. They will be happy to provide assistance. If the monitor cannot resolve the problem, he/she will report it to the appropriate staff and you will need to move to another computer. Never attempt to correct the problem yourself.
 
What do I do if I'm having problems printing in the lab?
 
Again, check with the lab monitor on duty in TH127. They will be happy to provide assistance. Never attempt to correct the problem yourself.
 
Can I print with clean paper?
 
Many of the printouts in the Tomanek Hall Computer Labs are rough drafts and are eventually thrown away. To keep the costs of paper to a minimum, the Tomanek Hall Computer Labs printers frequently use recycled paper; however, clean paper is available.  If you need clean paper to print a good copy of your document, check with the lab monitor on duty before sending your file to the printer. One of the lab monitors will be happy to assist you.  See the lab monitor for details.
 
May I load my own software on the computers in the CTC Tomanek Hall Computer Labs?
 
No. We do not allow anyone access to load or delete software to any of the computers in our labs. If a class needs specific software available for lab use, have the class instructor send a Request for Computing Services to the Servers and Desktop Systems area of the CTC. The instructor will also need to bring a copy of the software to this area.
 
Where can I get help if I cannot retrieve file(s) from my disk?
 
Take the disk to the lab monitor on duty in TH127. The monitor will attempt to recover the file(s) by using Norton Utilities; however, please be aware that sometimes disks are damaged or corrupted so badly that it may be impossible to recover your file(s). If this is the case, you may need to re-key your document.
 
How do I access the Internet from home?
 
Enrolled students have access to the Internet from home through a Dial-Up Account.  For more information about Dial-Up Accounts, go the CTC HelpDesk in Tomanek Hall 113.  Also, more information can be found at the HelpDesk Web site at http://www.fhsu.edu/ctc/helpdesk/.
 
What is my E-mail address?
 

Your E-mail address consists of your user ID and a server location.  Your user ID consists of your first and middle initials and your last name.  You can look up your user ID at http://www.fhsu.edu/ctc/labs/STUDENTN.html
