VMIL Policies

These are a few basic policies of the VMIL to ensure smooth operation of the lab for all users. We will do our best to accommodate any unusual needs. For further details, contact Darren Stevenson or read the VMIL General Information page.

• Keycards are not to be shared. Each VMIL user must be independently registered.
• Sharing of any keycards issued or admitting non-registered users into the VMIL is grounds for terminating access to the VMIL for current registered users.
• Guests are welcome in the VMIL if accompanied by a registered user.  The guest should not use any of the VMIL equipment personally.
• Consultants are available during the hours posted on the consultant schedule. Outside of these hours special arrangements should be made.
• No equipment, manuals, or other items should be removed from the VMIL without prior consent of the ITG staff.  Please see the equipment page for more information on what is available for checkout.
• Users should not move, rewire or reconfigure ANY VMIL equipment (including Audio/Visual).  Failure to follow this guideline will result in the permanent removal from the VMIL. If you need a different configuration than is required, see a consultant or email VMIL.
• Users are not to install software on any computer. Ask a consultant for help if you need access to a particular package: we try to accommodate all software needs.
• The VMIL supports university-related and sponsored projects only.  Projects related to class, major, and/or degree requirements qualify as university-related. 
• Users are responsible for all 3D printing material costs, even when the resulting print is not what was expected. The only exception to this is when the resulting print is in error due to an equipment malfunction or staff mistake. ITG is not responsible for failed prints due to model problems.
• All University policies apply in the VMIL.
