The purpose of the MARCS is to provide a positive place where math can be discussed and investigated so that learning may be achieved, and to provide support through various means such as tutoring, computer tutorials, videos and computer software so that students may succeed in their math classes.
 
To use the MARCS:
  • Students must be currently enrolled in a Mt. SAC Class.
  • Students must be registered to attend the lab. Registration is open all semester and is free. Students may register for the MARCS by following the directions found here.
  • Students must stop at the front counter to be clocked into the facility before using services. 
  • A current Mt. SAC ID card is preferred to use the lab. 
Computer Use and Printing Policy:
  • Printing is free of charge for students. 
  • All printing should be double-sided.  Please print no more than 20 pages at a time so that each print job can be processed in a timely manner.
  • Printing of online textbooks is not permitted.  
  • Students should not install any software or alter any computer settings on any computer in the lab.
General Policy:
  • Snack food is allowed, and drinks that can be sealed are allowed.
  • Phones calls are to be taken or received outside the lab. Cell phones are to be on vibrate or low volume. 
  • Noise related to math is encouraged.
  • Groups or individuals working at white boards is encouraged.
  • Listening to music or videos through a headset is permitted provided the music isn't so loud as to permit all to hear.
  • Short breaks after working may be taken without clocking out. Extended breaks (over 10 minutes) or repeated breaks must be taken after clocking out.  
 
Failure to comply with the rules or directions from a staff member can result in loss of borrowing or use of facility privileges.
