This responsibility includes informing users of expected standards of conduct and the punitive measures for not adhering to them. The list below constitutes a Code of Computing Practice for UTC users. Disciplinary action for violating the code shall be governed by the applicable provisions of the student handbooks, faculty and staff handbooks, and personnel policy manuals for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Users must access only those computer accounts which have been authorized for their use. Printouts etc. must be labeled with the user's name so that responsibility for the work can be determined and users can be contacted in unusual situations.
Users are responsible for the usage of their computer accounts.
They should maintain secure passwords and take precautions against others obtaining access to their computer resources. Computer accounts must be used only for the purposes for which they were authorized. For example, research codes should not be used for non-research work or private consulting, while class accounts should be used for classroom activities only. Users should follow the published procedures for accessing the computing systems. Users must not access or copy the programs and data belonging to UTC or to other users unless they have prior authorization to do so.
