Here is information that TAs will need to know.
Audio-Visual Equipment AV Equipment is available in select classrooms. Passcodes and keys are available from Classroom Media Support. LCD computer projectors are reserved and retrieved from the Astronomy, Math and Physics (AMP) Libary, 4220 Chamberlin Hall.
Copying All Math Department employees have access to the department’s Copy Center, located in 220 Van Vleck. To have something photocopied, fill out the request form. Give the Copy Center at least 24 hours to make your copies. For a small job they might be able to do it with in a couple of hours. Larger jobs take longer, especially at busy times such as the beginning, middle, and end of the semester. There are also copy machines available on each floor for departmental use. To operate this machine you will need a code, available from the Computer IT Staff. TAs can make up to 200 copies on these machines per month before being charged.
Email Accounts All Math Department employees are given computer accounts enabling access to computers in Van Vleck. An email account is also provided. All TAs’ email accounts are connected to the ‘graduate student email listserve’. This listserve is the place that important announcements are posted. TAs are responsible to read all pertinent messages on a regular basis (semi-weekly is suggested) and heed all deadlines.

Printing Policy Each user is allowed 250 free pages per month (each side of a double-sided sheet is counted as one page). Beyond that, they are charged 5 cents per page truncated to the nearest whole dollar. A bill is sent via email on the first of each month to those people who have incurred charges. Pay the Department Administrator that amount.
Reserving Rooms You can reserve classrooms for review sessions, makeup exams, or any other purpose by completing the Room Request Form. You can also use this form to reserve seminar rooms on the 9th floor. Please submit the form as far in advance as possible, but at least 2 business days prior to the date you need it. For a regularly occurring event or for a very large room, it is important to request your reservation as early in the semester as possible. You will receive an email confirming your reservation request, usually within 2 business days.
Supplies Text books and solution manuals for classes you teach are available to borrow from the Copy Center. Office keys are available from the Chair’s Assistant.
