Learning Centre Rules

Logging in Upon logging into a computer, you will start a 2 hour timer before you are logged out of the system. This is so that everyone has an equal chance to use a computer. If you need an extension on your time, please ask the LC staff. You can see how much longer you have by checking the timer in the bottom right corner of your screen. Food and drink You are allowed to drink bottled water in the Learning Centre. Please use the canteens for any other drinks or food. Noise levels Please be respectful of others who are trying to work. If you are repeatedly causing disruption, you may be asked to leave the Learning Centre. Fines If you take out a book and do not return it on time, you will have to pay a fine. Please speak to the LC staff if you would like to extend your borrowing period. ID Cards Like anywhere else in the college, in the LC, you are required to wear your college ID card visibly at all times.

At HRC, all of our students have a Microsoft Office 365 account. This provides you with: •A college email address (your-student-number@student.hrc.ac.uk)- You can forward emails sent to this email address to your personal one.
