However, if these situations become frequent, the employee must use vacation leave, comp time or leave without pay. The use of our computers must be for legitimate activities of the Laboratory and the Department, including supervised training and skill development as well as necessary communication and support of research and instructional activities. You may not contract out for programming or word processing on University machines, nor use printers, disc space, and other facilities or supplies for those purposes. All computer accounts are to be given to individuals and are not to be shared with or loaned to others who are not eligible for their own accounts. These accounts must be relinquished when employment terminates.
Electronic mail is another area of concern.
Just as one is not to use University mail to send out private or personal mail, the same guidelines should be applied to electronic mail.
