5. Classrooms :

Wireless access is generally not available in classrooms, as a result, an Ethernet cable is required to connect via wired ports.  Please note that Law School policy prohibits internet access while class is in session, unless a special request is made by the professor.

6. Quarantine :

If a computer begins to exhibit suspicious behavior it may be placed into quarantine thus barring any network access.  To help avoid this, please refrain from using any peer to peer file transfer programs (i.e. BitTorrent, Lime Wire, etc.).  If one does become quarantined, the quarantine status will remain for two hours.  If the computer continues to display questionable behavior once un-quarantined, it will continually be placed back into quarantine.  If a virus scan does not find anything, please email help@law.ucla.edu or call (310) 825-4689.
