Computer Fair Use Policy

To ensure that campus computing resources are being used reasonably, ethically and appropriately, the following guidelines have been implemented:

• Unauthorized use of facilities, networks or passwords is prohibited; and

• Users should not damage, change settings, reconfigure or create unnecessary traffic on College-owned hardware or software.

Please note that Residence Hall students may use hubs to share network access with multiple devices in a room.

Users must ensure the privacy and confidentiality of all files and programs, facilities should not be used to:

• install, run or copy software without a license to do so;

• create or install viruses;

• conduct commercial business;

• harass others;

• transmit offensive material;

• guess or decrypt passwords of others;

• deprive authorized users of access;

• secure a higher level of privilege than permitted by the College; or

• change or delete another user's files or software without their permission.
