Examples are failure to respect the priorities posted at a public machine, overuse of resources, damage to software or hardware or sending repeated unwanted electronic mail. Examples are attempts to misappropriate passwords, attempts to gain unauthorized access or sharing your password with others. Illegal Use This is any use of computer or network resources in the commission of an illegal act. Examples are violation of licensing agreements, attempting to break into a computer, or sending harassing or threatening electronic mail. There are Federal, State and local laws which govern certain aspects of computer and telecommunications use.
All laws pertaining to tangible documents or instruments apply equally to electronic files.
Members of the College community are expected to respect these laws. Any use, even if not specifically prohibited, which falls within these broad categories should be considered inappropriate. If you are unsure of the propriety of an action, ask the System Administrator for clarification. Remedial Action and Right of Privacy Final technical authority for the College computer network rests with the System Administrator, who may issue training notices, alerts or warnings for any minor or inadvertent misuse of service or breach of security. Any illegal activity will be reported immediately to the appropriate College official.
