Who may use the pods:
Students and faculty have priority for using the pods and computer classrooms.
Staff and UNM affiliates with NetIDs may also use the pod computers.
Priority for computer classroom scheduling is given to academic classes and new student orientation.
UNM-Sponsored conferences may not use classrooms when scheduled for academic classes or occupy pods during midterms and finals.Students and faculty have priority for using the pods and classrooms.
Viewing explicit material:
The University of New Mexico (as is the case at other universities) does not limit or filter network traffic based on content. However, to maintain a respectful and productive learning environment, the following guidelines apply when using UNM IT computer pods:
- Accessing or displaying explicit material is not permitted in UNM IT computer pods, as it may disrupt the learning environment.
- If a user is viewing explicit material, they will be asked by the Student Computer Consultant (SCON) on duty to discontinue viewing and/or relocate to a more private setting.
- Do not confront the user directly—instead, report concerns to the SCON on duty to prevent escalation.
