Therefore the College reserves the right to set limits on the size of individual e-mail items sent or received. Attachments should be of a reasonable size. Austin College cannot guarantee the transfer of attachments larger than 2 MB and the College is not responsible for contacting students if these attachments are deleted. Students are responsible for e-mail sent from their account. For example a message meant for a friend but accidentally sent to a faculty member could be found offensive.
Students are responsible for changing their passwords.
A combination of numeric and apha charactors should be selected for a password. A deliberate attempt to read another's e-mail, knowing it is not meant for the reader, is a serious breach of ethical conduct. Users should exercise extreme caution in using e-mail to communicate confidential or sensitive matters. The nature of e-mail makes it less private than users may anticipate. For example, electronic mail intended for one person sometimes may be widely distributed because of the ease with which recipients can forward it to others.
