Please note that once you are granted access, you are expected to abide by certain rules:
Doors that are normally locked (including all doors to the third floor graduate student areas) should never be propped open.
You are responsible for any visitors you bring into the building. If someone comes in with you, they must leave with you.

The Grad Lounge and our offices are on the 3rd floor of the building. The use of the computer and desk space in the Graduate Student Lounge on the 3rd floor will be first come, first served.
Second Floor Break Room/Kitchen
The kitchenette and break room is shared by other students and employees, so please be courteous to others sharing this space and clean up after yourself.
Lockers
Lockers are available in the grad lounge on a first come, first served basis.
Copying
Copies may be made on the third floor if the job pertains to your RA or TA position. Otherwise, you can use ASU’s PrintAnywhere service.
Printing
Please try to print items double-sided and limit the amount you print. At this time, the School is able to provide toner at no additional cost to students, but that may change if toner has to be changed frequently. If the printer runs out of toner, please pick up a new cartridge from the front desk on the 4th floor (the Student Services office). Bring your own paper or request the number of sheets needed from the front desk, which is open Monday-Friday, 9:00-4:00. Large volume jobs should be sent through PrintAnywhere.
Mailing
ASU has an inter-office mail service called Campus Mail. Items sent through campus mail require a campus mail code. Campus Mail pickup is on the third floor of WCPH. If you have regular outgoing mail, please apply the required postage and place it in the outgoing mail bin in the fourth floor mailroom. If you have any questions regarding mail, please inquire at the SOS Student Services Center on the fourth floor.
