Student Device use and Care guidelines
Student Device use and Care guidelines
- The laptop is for educational work use.
- The Laptop will be configured by the Technology department and should be used to connect to verified ISP providers only. Please do not connect to unsecured WIFI using a school device. Users are expected to follow best practices for protection of the device and data on the device while it is in their possession including CyberSecurity avoidance and updating of critical software as requested.
- Users are encouraged to be permitted to take the laptop home to use outside work hours, however, and not for use by family members or any other person. Most accidents are usually the result of someone else using the computer.
- When transporting the laptop, please consider how you will keep it protected. Laptop cases, sleeves, or shells offer protection and come in many styles to meet nearly everyone’s personal taste and needs.
- Always shut down or put your device in sleep before moving it. Besides allowing the hard drive to “spin down” which prevents potential data loss, shutting down and restarting periodically also helps optimize the device’s performance.
- Keep food and drinks away from your computer at all times. Damage caused by spills are not considered normal wear and tear and therefore are not covered under the extended warranty.
- Backup and File management: All users are encouraged to keep their school related files backed up on their Goog;e Drive. Keep in mind that Help Desk does not support the storage and transfer of music and photo files. Best practice suggests that personal files be backed up to personal cloud accounts.
