**  FACILITIES AND STUDENT SERVICES    **
== __**Management and Information System Center (MISC)** __ The MISC forms an important component of the FC education. The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) proficiency is a learning outcome for all graduates, as ICT skills form a valuable component of communication and work. FC students will have the practical use and integration of ICT taught and modeled throughout their education. Exposure to ICT begins in the first semester. All students, regardless of major program, will take at least six credit hours of credit in the first semester covering the basics of information technology and its applications in the business world (ICT 111 and ICT 112). Each major will build on the information gained in these first courses as appropriate for the major. The student computers available at FC are to be used for College work only. Each student will be assigned an e-mail account for communication with College faculty and staff. Students are required to use computers to complete course assignments. Use of computers for outside purposes or for playing computer games is strictly forbidden and failure to follow these rules will result in disciplinary action being taken against the student. FC maintains an open-access computing laboratory for use by students outside of course time. Female students have access to the open-access laboratory from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm on Sunday and Tuesday, from 2:00 pm to 8 pm on Thursday and from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm on Sunday. Male students have access to the open access laboratory from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm on Sunday and Thursday from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm on Thursday and from 8:00 am to 11:00 am on Sunday. **1.
