Examples of other inappropriate uses include using campus computers or the network for commercial purposes, such as using the network to advertise a product or charging someone to use your account for network access. System Disruption . Users must not intentionally disrupt the campus computing system or obstruct the work of other users, such as by interfering with the accounts of others, introducing or spreading viruses or other destructive programs on computers or the network, sending chain letters or blanket e-mail messages, or knowingly consuming inordinately large amounts of system resources. Operational Procedures . Users must respect the University's operational procedures for computing and network services and facilities.
Users are responsible for knowing and abiding by posted computer lab and network procedures.
Generally, operational procedures prohibit printing multiple copies of documents on networked printers, playing games in labs when others are waiting for systems, or using interactive utilities such as ICQ on dial-in lines. Finally, as instructional use is paramount, users must leave a lab when it is needed by a class that has reserved the room in advance. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in the denial of access to campus computing or network services, and may further subject the user to disciplinary action. Computing staff may directly address violations of this policy or refer them to the Associate Dean for Student Development, Academic Vice President, or Director of Human Resources, as appropriate. The staff of the Office of Information Systems will respond as appropriate to complaints of harassment or other misuse of computing and network services.
