Civil & Environmental Engineering Department Graduate Office Space Rules
Office space provided by the department is state-owned property. Department staff, such as facilities and IT, do not need to request access to your office before entering. Having a desk space is a privilege, not a right. Your desk assignment will be revoked if you fail to adhere to the below rules.
- Students are required to keep all of their belongings confined to their desk. You may not use other desks or the floor for storage or additional space.
- Please do not adjust the thermostat; it will be set by the department facilities manager.
- Please do not keep food or cook anything in the offices or at your desk. Any food-related trash must be thrown out in a trash can in the grad student kitchens (DLEB 6th floor Kitchen and CVLB Grad Kitchen in room 235). Leaving food will invite ants and roaches.
- There are to be no kitchen appliances in the graduate office areas; this includes refrigerators or microwaves. Coffee pots are allowed if they are kept clean and confined to your desk.
- No additional furniture or storage items, including bicycles, are allowed in the graduate offices. Items found will be removed and thrown away.
- Offices are to be kept professional and clean at all times.
- Do not attach items to the walls or doors; use either the whiteboards or tack strips. You may pin items to cubicle dividers. Damage to the walls and/or doors will not be tolerated.
- Each desk has been provided with one Ethernet connection for a department computer only (owned by each faculty member). Personal computers must use the TAMU_WIFI wireless network and are not allowed to use campus Ethernet connections.
- Do not share your room or desk key.
- All keys must be returned upon your departure from the department. Those who do not return their keys will not be able to graduate and/or register for classes. If a key is lost, you will be given one replacement.
- Upon departure, please leave your desk space clean and empty. Computer equipment must be brought to the CVEN IT department in DLEB 609 so that it can be prepared for another student. Please notify the Graduate Office and the professor once you have delivered the equipment to IT. Any items left after you vacate the desk will be thrown away.
