Security and Privacy
You should:

- make sure to save all your work to Google Drive or a USB drive before leaving a computer lab. Computers are rebooted daily and are set to erase all documents saved to it and clear any information entered into a web browser, such as account passwords.
- log out of all accounts before leaving a computer in a campus lab. The next person who uses your computer could gain access to your online accounts if you don't. Restarting a lab computer when you are done will completely wipe the computer of your information.
