Code of Conduct/Use Policy
The use of the Studios is a privilege, not a right.
- Treat your fellow students with respect. We all share this space and help maintain it through the Access fee. To create a healthy environment for all, the following rules must be observed:
- No outside guests or strangers are allowed to use computers or equipment. Report non-Comm students/unauthorized individuals immediately to Campus Safety.
- No food or drink, no exceptions.
- Respect the furniture. Do not move larger items of furniture, such as sofas. If armchairs, benches or stools need to be moved, then pick up the item and move it carefully. Put it back when you are done. Do not drag, yank, kick or stand on furniture. If you need to put your feet up to be comfortable, use a stool. Make it your goal to leave furniture intact and clean for the next person. If a piece of furniture breaks, report it immediately so it can be fixed.
- Follow all posted rules for stage usage, and wear the provided booties if you need to stand on the white floor.
- Do not modify shared resources. Students are not allowed to move, alter or re-wire any computer, peripheral device, or technology inside Vanguard Studios without permission. Don’t unplug wires or cables, install software or leave your personal accounts signed into on lab computers.
- Be respectful of requests for quiet. Use headphones when editing, listening to music or watching videos. If you are working with a group, use the conference room or consider moving outside.
- Be a person of character. Stress can run high, so be kind to each other. Speak up if someone is being bullied or treated unfairly. Clean up after yourself. Report non-functioning computers and missing resources immediately so they can be fixed and replenished. Help make the Studios a safe and functional place for all.
- Students accept responsibility for personal items brought into the Studios. Vanguard University will not be held responsible for any missing, misplaced, or stolen items.
