Physical abuse, mishandling and modification of terminals, printers and other hardware is not permitted. Occurrences of misconduct in these areas will result in loss of computer access. Computer files can be inspected without notice by the system administrator. Computer files not related to official missions of the University and which consume large amounts of space may be removed without warning by staff. When users exceed their storage allocation, they are notified.
Some systems notify users by system electronic mail or direct message.
If the storage allocation is exceeded for an extended period, the user account may be disabled. Under these agreements some computers and networks may be used for instructional, research and administrative purposes only. Under the license agreements and state regulations, there is a strict policy that network and computer facilities may under no circumstances be used for personal gain, or to place a third party in a position of commercial advantage. To protect our license status, the University requires that any person wishing to transport software from a host or personal computer, which he or she did not personally develop, get approval from the system administrator for the machine that the software was developed on. In general, the University does not have enough computing resources to meet the needs of students, faculty, and staff.
