VIII. FACILITIES FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS

Office Space. All students on appointment as T.A.s, and often R.A.s, are entitled to office space. Those students possessing desk space are entitled to building keys.

Seventh Floor Computer/Commons Room. There are five personal computers located in Johnson Tower 712. These are available for use by any graduate student enrolled at WSU. Users will need to obtain a login account for access to these machines from the department secretary in 801 Johnson Tower. Access to this room is by keyless entry. The number will be given to all students in the beginning of the year. This room is also the commons room for our Graduate Program. Because it has a dual purpose—computer room and commons room—everyone needs to be understanding of the needs of students to talk and their need to work. Students will also find updated program information and Graduate Student Association announcements in this room. On the second floor of Wilson Hall (right next to Johnson Tower), there is the Social Science Terminal Laboratory with 20 terminals and a high speed printer.

Mailboxes. Students on appointment will receive their mail in the slots outside of their offices. Students not on appointment will receive their mail in individual boxes located in 712. Students should make a habit of regularly visiting their mailboxes as it is the only reliable way of getting important information to the student. Phone calls for graduate students are received in the main office where messages will be taken.

Photocopying Machine. Graduate students have at their disposal their own copying machine in the seventh floor computer room. T.A.s will receive a copy number for their instructional copies. Students may not use this photocopy number for their own copies. All graduate students can obtain a copy number from the office staff, and will be charged for all copies made on this machine in advance. This machine is shared with DGSS. Because there is a separate copy machine for graduate students, the 8th floor copy machine may not be used by graduate students.

Graduate Bulletin Board. Located outside of 701 Johnson Tower, information on this board relates directly to graduate student interests. Topics include funding opportunities, job opportunities, seminars, etc. The student should get into the habit of regularly consulting this board.

E-Mail Accounts. All students must sign-up for an e-mail account with Information Technology.
