Users shall not deliberately attempt to degrade system performance or capability. Loopholes in the system or knowledge of special passwords shall not be used to damage the system, take resources from another user, or violate privacy. The introduction of any disruptive program is a most serious offense and any violation will be vigorously pursued. Users shall not misuse the scanner or other document production equipment. In particular, it is a violation of state law to falsify or alter grade transcript reports.
College rules concerning dishonesty and plagiarism apply to use of the computer.
Users shall not bring food or drinks into any computer facility. In the College setting, a natural tension arises between protecting the privacy of information and the sharing of information and ideas. Moreover, because the computing systems and networks are shared resources, their misuse can affect other users, thus creating additional tension between the desire for individual privacy and the need for overall security and resource availability. Also given the current limitations for ensuring complete security of data, the college cannot guarantee absolute privacy of the information stored on computers and in particular on network accessible computers. Information stored on a computer system or sent electronically over a network is the property of the individual who created it.
