Graduate Student Handbook: Space Assignments and Regulations

a) Desks

All full-time Ph.D. students will be assigned desk space for their own use. First-year Ph.D. students will obtain a temporary office assignment (from the Office Manager in Room 311A Towne) until they have been assigned an advisor. Each student's desk will eventually be located in a laboratory or office associated with his or her advisor.

(b) Keys

Keys to laboratories and offices may be obtained from the department office, room 311A Towne.

(c) Copy Machine

A copy machine in Room 311A Towne is available only for small research-related copying jobs. Copy machines are available in the Engineering Library for class-related or student copying. Fifteen (15) or more copies as well as copies for academic use (those made by teaching fellows) must be made in the Copy Center, 166 Weiss Tech House (formerly GRW). Photocopying for academic use must indicate the course number to which charges should be made.

(d) Telephone

Long distance calls and calls outside the Philadelphia area for research use can be made in the CBE department office, Towne 311A. Use the phone on the back desk, the only line not for use is the very last number of the row. Office phones can only be used for campus and local calls. A pay phone is available on the ground floor of the Towne Building for personal calls.

(e) Computer Accounts

Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering students use the engineering school's computing system. Accounts are available from the office of Computing and Educational Technology Services (CETS), 169 Levine Hall (formerly GRW).

CETS maintains two computer labs housing state of the art PCS in M-62& M-70, Towne Building. These are available to students.
