Who can use the lab?
Due to the increased demand, the lab is restricted to currently enrolled students.
What do I need?
A Clackamas Community College student body card with a current term sticker. These are available at the Help center in the Community Center Building. Your student ID card is used for checking out materials.
You will also need a storage device (Disc, Flash Drive, External Hard Disk Drive, etc.) of 100 megabytes or larger to store files.
Warning...
Any files, settings or programs you save on the computers in the Computer
Lab are automatically erased each and every time you shut off or restart
the computer.
Data erased this way cannot be recovered.
Can I get e-mail?
Students may get an e-mail account by going onto the internet and choosing from a variety of providers of free e-mail.
We suggest Gmail™.
Can I read my e-mail at home?
Most Internet e-mail providers can be accessed from any machine, anywhere (provided you have a compatible browser and Internet connection). You will want to be familiar with how the specific product you choose performs.
The Streeter Lab staff will only be able to provide minimal support for you with your E-Mail, since there are too many choices to cover completely.
Who are the Tutors?
The lab supplies peer tutors who have taken a variety of Computer Science classes and have a good understanding of the materials covered in those classes.
What can I expect from the tutors?
The Computer Science Tutors are here to help you find the answers to questions on Computer Science course work only. They do not "know" all the answers but they should be able to help with most questions and guide you to further resources when necessary.
What should I not expect from them?
You probably would not expect the Math tutors to help you with your English assignments. Many students seem to think that the Computer Science tutors should be able to answer any question that they have about a computer. This is an unfair assumption.
If you need assistance specific to your Business, English, Spanish, Nutrition, Drafting or Accounting classes as they relate to the computers, we will try to help, but it is possible that the only answer we will have for you is that you need to check with your instructor.
