Student Guidelines



Please read carefully. Your Professor's directions supercede these guidelines, should there by a conflict.

 

Photocopying (Excluding Final Report)
Please bring materials to Showker 545 for copies to be made. Photocopying needed on the same day as requested needs to be brought by the CFE office no later than 10:00 am on that day (i.e., questionnaires).


Faxing
Incoming faxes should be directed to the CFE office, with the student name appearing on the fax. The fax number is (540) 568-3803.


Phone(s)
Students must schedule use of the phone for long distance calls related to SBCI projects with the CFE Office (x3022, Room 545). NO INTERNATIONAL CALLS MAY BE MADE. Please keep the number of team members placing calls to two, due to office space constraints. 

If access to a phone is needed after 5:00pm, students must arrange for their professor or a graduate assistant in the professor's department to be present while calls are being placed.


Computer and Color Printer
A computer and color printer are available for student use for printing color copies or transparencies. Students must reserve and schedule use of the equipment with the CFE staff at least 24 hours in advance. Software available: Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Please use these programs if you wish to use CFE equipment. Up to 20 transparencies may be printed per group. Please keep the number of team members using this equipment to two, due to office space constraints. 


Printing & Distribution of Final Reports

  • For CFE printing purposes, Final Reports are due 48 weekday hours prior to the presentation date. The cost for copying and binding the client and professor copies will be paid by the CFE provided the 48-hour deadline is met; otherwise, the costs for copying and binding will be student team members' responsibility.

  • Report covers. Covers for the final report will be provided by the CFE office. Print the project title, semester/year and Professor's name on a plain sheet of paper to be copied onto the report cover. The CFE office will supply the cover. Be sure the title of the project is centered on the front cover.

  • The original, unbound copy is turned into the SBCI staff. No "cut and paste" copies will be accepted.

  • Client, faculty and CFE copies of the final report will be prepared  by the CFE staff. Students will pick up the bound copies for presentation, at the CFE office.

  • After the client presentation, please distribute reports as follows:
    - Faculty member: one bound copy (unless your Professor has other requirements)
    - JMU CFE: (Dr. Paul Bierly) - 1 unbound copy.
    - Client: The client is entitled to one hard copy of the final report and a disk containing the report.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to understand and follow these instructions. Should you have any questions, please contact someone in CFE. You may call 568-3022 or stop by our office at Showker Hall, Room 545, or send an e-mail to Dr. Paul Bierly at bierlype@jmu.edu. Thank you.
