This policy is intended to promote the responsible and ethical use of the computing resources of Wake Forest University. Copies of the policy shall be provided to all users of the Academic Computing System, and every effort shall be made to ensure that all users read the policy at least once. The policy applies to all computer and computer communication facilities owned, leased, operated, or contracted by the University. This includes, but is not limited to, word-processing equipment, microcomputers, minicomputers, mainframes, computer networks, computer peripherals, and software, whether used for administration, research, teaching, or other purposes. The policy extends to any use of University facilities to access computers elsewhere.
System administrators are responsible for publicizing any such additional regulations.
The University's computing resources are for instructional and research use by the students, faculty, and staff of Wake Forest University. As in all aspects of University life, users of computing facilities should act honorably and in a manner consistent with ordinary ethical obligations. Cheating, stealing, making false or deceiving statements, plagiarism, vandalism, and harassment are just as wrong in the context of computing systems as they are in all other domains. Use of campus facilities is restricted to authorized users. Individual users are responsible for the proper use of their accounts, including the protection of their login IDs and passwords.
