ICT Acceptable Use Agreement (AUA)
The purpose of the International School of Ulaanbaatar ICT network is to assist in the collaboration, research and exchange of information and to enhance communication for faculty, staff and students. This system includes access to the Internet. Users must abide by all regulations established by the school. The behavior of all users while online must comply with these rights and responsibilities and be consistent with accepted social standards established for classrooms within the school. It is required that all users conduct themselves in a responsible, decent, ethical, polite, and professional manner while using the system.
Students are required to read these rights and responsibilities as listed and described in the ICT Acceptable Use Agreement form. Their agreement to these terms is signed for in the “ACCEPTANCE OF ISU TERMS, PROCEDURES AND EXPECTATIONS” letter printed and returned to the school at the time of (re-)enrolment.

Parental Computer Use Permission: The AUA includes a parent permission portion that must be returned to the school:
My child has permission to access networked computer services such as the internet and the school’s network. I understand that although the school will take reasonable steps to ensure that my child is appropriately supervised, according to age and responsibility, I will not hold the school responsible for inappropriate material which my child may obtain. I accept responsibility for setting standards for my child to follow when selecting, sharing and exploring information and media. I agree to report any misuse of the network to the school.
