[Print-friendly version]

All part-time students should refer to the information contained in For Research Students on the website.  You should also obtain a HDR Survival Guide from the Research Portfolio office or download one from the website.  When you first arrive at QUT, and for all further assistance and submission of paperwork related to your candidature, you should visit the BEE Research Portfolio Office.

You will be allocated access to a 'hotdesk' and computer facility in a postgraduate student room controlled by the Research Portfolio office.  This room is located in S Block, room S1105 at Gardens Point.  A printer is located within this room for your convenience.

Printing

Local printers are provided for your convenience but are not to be used for large print jobs over 50 pages (eg thesis).  For an allocation for printing and photocopying from the library from your student research expense account contact the Research Portfolio office.

  • Thesis for examination can be printed from V Block at Gardens Point
  • Final bound thesis can be printed from QPS or other professional printeries

Work Space

As a user of this room the following important points need to be noted:

  • S1105 is for the use of PART-TIME STUDENTS ONLY and other people are not to be given access.
  • Workstations in this room are used on a DAILY BASIS ONLY.
  • No electronic files are to be stored on these computers.
  • No personal belongings are to be left in this room.
  • If you use the sink area, you are to ensure that it is left clean and tidy.
  • As Professoriate offices are located adjacent to this room noise is to be kept to a minimum.

How to reserve a computer:

  • There are seven workstations available for part-time student use.
  • If a computer does not have a RESERVED sign on the top of the monitor, it is available for your use on that particular day.
  • To reserve a computer for the day, take a RESERVED sign from the container inside the front entrance.  If you need to leave the room but intend returning on that day, affix the sign to the velcrose spot on the top of the monitor, so that other students who may enter the room know that it is unavailable.
  • When you have finished using the computer, replace the reserved sign in the container as you leave.

Help Services

For all technical (computing) problems contact the ITHelpdesk x84000.  Please note that if you are logging a job you MUST supply your name, student number, room location (campus and building) and desk number.

For all general maintenance (light bulbs, broken furniture, etc) and cleaning (obtaining a paper or all purpose bin) call Facilities Management x83000.

A paper bin is provided near your local printer.  Please ensure that paper ONLY is placed in this bin - do not use this bin for waxed paper, cardboard, envelopes and general refuse.  When this bin is full it can be left near the lift shaft for collection.

A receptacle is also provided near printers for used toner cartridges.  Please do not place other objects in this bin.
