Policies
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.

-
Students should not install any software or alter any computer settings on any computer in the lab.
General Policy:

- 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.
