Can I store my documents on the local computer?

Please do not save documents directly onto lab computers. We recommend you use your OneDrive account for documents or a USB stick.

If you do save a document on a university PC (onto the local drive or the desktop), you would only be able to access it on that specific machine and risk losing the document. The IT department routinely wipe data on university PCs to keep them performing optimally.
