  • The PC Room Supervisors must certainly abide by the Rules and Regulations of PC Rooms that are determined by Computer Center. The PC Room Supervisors should be careful and cautious about the fact that students are observing the CC regulations as well. Included in the tasks of the PC Room Supervisors are giving prudent and reasonable warnings to improper use of facilities and implementing the required penalties against the violation of the rules of PC Rooms.
