Students utilizing College-provided Internet access must first have the permission of and must be supervised by the Reid State Technical College's professional staff. The same general rules for behavior and communications apply. The purpose of College-provided Internet access is to facilitate communications in support of research and education. To remain eligible as users, students' use must be in support of and consistent with the educational objectives of Reid State Technical College. Access is a privilege, not a right.
Access entails responsibility.
Users should not expect that files stored on school-based computers would always be private. Electronic messages and files stored on school-based computers may be treated like school lockers. Administrators and faculty may review files and messages to maintain system integrity and insure that users are acting responsibly. Any violation of school policy and rules may result in loss of College-provided access to Internet. Additional disciplinary action may be determined at the building level in keeping with existing procedures and practices regarding inappropriate language or behavior.
