Any attempt to gain unauthorised access to a computer system will be regarded as a serious breach of University discipline. You may only access the data or programs which you have been authorised to use. You may use any data or program which you yourself have written, or which is freely available on the computers which you are authorised to use. You must not use, copy, adapt, rent or publish data or programs belonging to other users without their express permission, in writing. If you do one or more of these things to other people's data or programs you are in breach of University regulations and legally liable for infringement of another person's intellectual property rights.
Some software licences permit to keep a second copy for back-up purposes.
You should not use this copy for any purpose other than to re-instate the software if it has been removed from the computer on which it is licenced to run. When you become an authorised user of a University computer, you are only entitled to use it for certain purposes. Broadly speaking this is your normal University work, whether study, teaching, research or administration. If you are in any doubt as to whether you may use a computer in connection with outside work you should assume that you cannot, even if you are authorised to use the computer on which you will do the outside work. Administrative Data You must not attempt to obtain access to any data relating to the administration of the University unless you have been expressly authorised to do so.
