Student computer use is subject to the following guidelines:
Computer use is a privilege, not a right. Violation of computer use
policies and procedures may lead to loss of access to computing resources as
well as to disciplinary and/or legal action.
Computer use is primarily intended for the support of course work
conducted for a particular class assignment. Priority for student usage will
be given to students working on class related assignments. Personal use such
as nonclass-related email, chat rooms, and research will be allowed only as
space permits. Computers may not be used for financial gain.
Computer use must be within the bounds of Federal and State law.
Specific law covers actions such as, but not limited to, tampering with
computer hardware or software, unauthorized entry into computers, vandalism,
destruction of computer files, or copying of copyrighted software.
Resources available on the Internet may be potentially offensive. Users
must respect the rights of others. For example displaying on-screen images,
sounds, or messages that create an atmosphere of discomfort or harassment
for others is prohibited.
Computer accounts are for the use of the assignee only. Unauthorized
sharing and/or access of computer accounts of other users are prohibited.
Disturbances such as excessive noise may result in the restriction of
use and/or disciplinary action
