Rules of the Road III
- What are my responsibilities?
Considering one's usage of the network on campus, the
individual is responsible for the account and applications
thereby provided. Users must responsibly monitor their own
access and activities on the network. Security is, as
always, a prevalent issue-- not necessarily simply
regarding the password. Access to your personal devices,
including but not limited to laptops, desktops, PDAs,
ports, etc., should be limited to yourself and others
approved by the University of Central Florida. Any and all
communications sent from your equipment or accounts is
your liability.
One's account cannot be
overlooked when considering these such security
precautions. Computer Services has gone to great lengths
to provide users of the campus network with a decent
balance of security and ease-of-use; this access, however,
must thereby be used responsibly and securely by the user:
if a breach of policy is performed from your workstation
or using your account on any campus system, you are
responsible. One availability to hostile influence to our
network, whether it be a file, account, or physical
workstation, can be troublesome to the entire network.
E-mail on campus also
brings with it a range of necessary precautions-- it is,
of course, primarily to be used as an academic resource
and means of communication among peers for information
transfer. Ethics and responsibility come strongly into
play in this field of Information Technology; Computer
Services urges users to be courteous and intelligent with
their application of this useful resource.
Any e-mail message sent
anywhere inside or outside of the network must be
considered to be of the same level of tangibility as would
be any physical document or verbal statement.
Misrepresentation of an individual or breach of campus
policy concerning e-mail and network security are not
tolerated. As your personal e-mail must be administered by
you with care, also note that the e-mail of others must be
responsibly cared for.
We at Computer Services
ask that you apply a decent set of ethical standards to
the usage of the network.
