Purpose:
This policy establishes the criteria for reserving the Marshall
University Public Computing Facilities. The University Public Computer
Facilities are a limited resource that must be shared by the Marshall
University community. Request for Use of the University Computer Facilities Full Semester Reservations Each department wishing to schedule a semester-long block of lab
time for individual courses must submit a written request and
justification to Information Technology Services by the first Friday
in September for classes in the Spring Semester and by the second
Friday in January for classes scheduled for the upcoming Fall
semester and Summer Terms. The request will then be forwarded to the
Vice President, Academic Affairs for consideration. Short Term Requests Requests for short-term reservations may be submitted from 6
months to 7 days prior to the days being reserved but no more than
twice the number of credit hours per course may be scheduled prior
to the beginning of the course and no more than one third of the
total course contact hours of any course can be requested in a given
semester. Requests submitted less than seven days in advance will be
reviewed, but granting of late requests may depend on ability to
notify users, time of year (for instance, less likely near finals
and midterms) and availability of the facility. Requests for blocks of time in excess of 6 hours in two weeks
will be considered only if there is remaining time and space after
other requests have been processed. Allocation of Computing Hours Limited Reservations Labs may be requested for workshops, training and demonstrations
for no more than 8 hours in any two-week period for training. The
assignment of these reservations will be on a first-come basis. Open Access At least 50% of the lab seats must be available for open use
during any given day. Criteria For Establishing Reservations Nature of Reservation Full Semester Course Reservations Full semester course reservations by Marshall University
faculty and staff for Marshall University faculty, staff or
students will be judged by course design and pedagogy. For
example, does the course content specifically require hands-on
computer instruction on a daily basis? This is to be confirmed
by letter of support from an academic dean and may be supported
by other material including a letter from the UITC (University
Information Technology Committee) and should be included along
with the scheduling request to the Manager of Information
Technology Services which will then be forwarded to the Vice
President, Academic Affairs for consideration. Need Need for the course or number of sections to be offered. For
example, requests for multiple sections of a course may be
declined in favor of a more varied course offering. A letter of
support from the Academic Dean or Department Chair or Faculty
member is required. Departments are to submit requests to the
Manager of Information Technology Services along with a one-page
justification based on course content and method of delivery
that will then be forwarded to the Vice President for Academic
Affairs. Benefit To Marshall University Direct benefit to Marshall University faculty, staff or students. Benefit to the Campus Community Direct benefit to a campus associated organization. Community Benefit Direct benefit to the community. Contracted use Activities that are contracted by community organizations that
require computing facilities. Decision-making process The initial decisions for short-term requests will be made by
the Manager of Information Services, Facilities based on the above
criteria. However, in the event of scheduling conflicts, the Vice
President, Academic Affairs is the final authority on lab
scheduling. Disclaimer: Acknowledging that there are many competing interests involved, the
TQM committee and University Computer Services asks those making
requests for lab times to consider carefully your needs and to request
lab scheduling only for courses that require it and onl for the amount
of time you will actually need the facility. Lab use will be monitored,
and departments not fully using designated times will be asked to
relinquish some or all of the time. Continued abuse of the reservation
policy will adversely affect the ranking of future requests. "Abuse" shall be defined as any of the following: not meeting class
in the lab at the designated time, non-compliance with any rules
regarding software use or licensing, not filling more than 70% of seats
reserved, extending the length of class or refusing to relinquish the
lab at the end of the designated period, altering or reconfiguring any
of the equipment or software without the permission of the lab
management. (Attachment of zip drives, jazz drives or other external
devices must first meet with approval of the lab management. ) Appeals Process: Any appeal of the decisions of the University Computing Service’s
scheduling of short term scheduling decisions can be brought before the
TQM committee which can arbitrate and ultimately decide to grant or deny
the request. All efforts will be made to seek a fair and consistent
allocation of computer resources in accordance with multiple needs. Rejection of Request Form Requests that are received with incomplete information will be returned to the sender and will not be considered valid until returned with the correct information. Supervision Instructors, or their designates, must be present in the computer facility during the reserved time. Exceptions Un-Schedulable University Computing Sites The John D. Drinko Library Study Center cannot be reserved under any circumstance. Reservation Time Reservations will only be held for 10 minutes after their scheduled time.

Electronic Submission Submission of reservation requests may be made by electronic mail sent to Web Submission Submission of reservation requests may be made by using the electronic web based form located at: Acknowledgement of Reservation Request All reservation requests will be acknowledged with 48 hours of their submission.
