Anatomy Open Lab Rules and Guidelines

Student identification for the Anatomy Open Lab

You will need to provide your JCCC ID Number to use the Anatomy Open Lab and the materials in the lab.

Anatomy Open Lab monitors

Anatomy Open Lab monitors are hired by the College to supervise the lab. Lab monitors are responsible for the operation and the environment of the lab, to ensure a conducive environment for learning. Your cooperation with the lab monitors is important. Failure to comply with the lab monitor’s instructions may result in loss of lab privileges. Lab monitors do not have access to the instructor's class packet, so it is important that you bring these materials with you to the lab.

Checking in and out of the Anatomy Open Lab

You will be required to scan your JCCC ID card/or enter the ID number to enter and exit the lab. You do not need to notify the lab monitor when leaving the room for a break. However, all models must stay in the lab room.

Anatomy Open Lab model checkout procedures

You will need to do the following to check out materials for use in the anatomy lab:

  • Scan your JCCC ID card/ or enter ID number, select course
  • Complete a model request form, including any model keys needed.
  • Verify that the model doesn't have any damage/missing parts. If so, you will need to report this to the lab monitor on duty.

Each student can check out no more than 2 models at a time. You must return the models to the lab monitor in order to check out different models. Models cannot be transferred to another student without first returning the model to the lab monitor and filling out new paperwork. Models must remain in the open lab classrooms. There are a few models that are in limited supply so sharing with another student is encouraged. However, the student that checked out the model needs to return it to the lab monitor.

Returning Anatomy Open Lab models

Before scanning out, be sure to clean the models and put them back together if needed. Please allow monitors to inspect each model before scanning out.

Time limitations in Anatomy Open Lab

There will be a one-hour limit after you have signed into the lab, if there are other students waiting to use the lab. We want to offer all students the opportunity to use the lab and encourage you to plan ahead so everyone has the opportunity to use it.

Food, drink in the Anatomy Open Lab

Food is not allowed in the Anatomy Open Lab. You are free to exit to consume your snacks in the hallway or you may leave your drinks on the back counter during your study session.

Noise in the Anatomy Open Lab

You should be considerate of others studying in the Anatomy Open Lab. Study groups should be especially mindful of the noise level of their group. Electronic equipment without headphones is not permitted in the open lab. Cell phones should be switched to silent mode or turned off. Phone calls on cell phones are to be taken in the hallway. The phone in the room is for emergency and staff use only.

Loss of Anatomy Open Lab privileges

If you receive a second warning by the lab monitor for violating the lab rules, your lab privileges will be suspended. You can meet with your instructor and the Anatomy Open Lab Supervisor to determine if the suspension will be lifted.
