It is important to maintain an environment where users have confidence in the availability, integrity and security of the computing facilities. This policy is intended to foster and maintain such an environment. This policy states the behavior expected of users of university computing facilities. The State of Alabama Ethics Law prohibits use of public property for personal gain. By using the facilities, users agree to comply with all applicable policies and regulations.
Users are students, faculty, staff and others who have been granted access.
Computer users must comply with university standards in accordance with the appropriate university publications, e.g., undergraduate Bulletin. This policy governs all use of computing facilities which are owned by, or in the custody of, the university, regardless of where the equipment is located or from where it is being accessed. All files on university computers are the property of the university, unless otherwise specified by written agreement with the designated approving authority. All software and files stored on university computer facilities shall be deemed as property of the university. The university reserves the right to examine systems, files and their contents to ensure compliance with this policy, software copyright policies and other regulations and laws.
