Remote access policies should be consistent with UC Davis' network security policy. Remote access policies should encourage cost-effective use of remote access facilities. All students should have the access that is needed to complete the courses in which they enroll. A university subsidy, if any, for remote access must be consistent, in nature and amount, with the university's mission. The amount of funding of a university subsidy, if any, for remote access must be appropriate in the context of the overall needs of the campus.
Internet access is used both for university business and other activities.
The university should not subsidize use of the Internet and Intranet for non-university business or pleasure. Consideration of funding models should include efforts to minimize the total cost to the campus and its constituents. Provision of access and its funding should remain viable as the use of the Internet and Intranet continues to increase. In order to carry out required coursework, outside scheduled class time, and communicate with their instructors by email, students must either Use open access laboratories on campus or Connect their own computers to the campus network through a network connection on campus or Connect through a modem from their homes. Students expect UC Davis to provide adequate access so that they can complete their required coursework.
