Guidelines for use of IT resources |
||
|
What resources and services are covered in the Guidelines, and who must comply? University policies apply to technology administered by individual departments, to information services hosted by dorm-resident students or by authorized resident visitors on their own hardware connected to the campus network, to the resources administered by central administrative departments such as University Libraries or OIT (Office of Information Technology), to authorized collaborative computers connected to the campus network and using University Internet addresses, to personally-owned computers connected by wire or wireless service to the campus network from University-owned housing or via campus locations providing mobile wired access or wireless access, and to actions originating from computer systems maintained or used by members of the campus community off-campus, but connecting remotely to the University's network services and under the aegis of the University's name. The policies also apply to actions of visitors to the campus who avail themselves of the University’s temporary visitor wireless network access service and those who register their computers through Conference and Events Services programs for use of the campus network. Privately-owned computer systems, or those owned by collaborative research projects, when attached to, or connected via, the campus data network and/or other campus resources, are subject to the same responsibilities and regulations as pertain to University-owned systems. University account holders who use computers belonging to others to connect to the campus network either directly or via Virtual Private Network (VPN) must assure that the computers are in compliance with University regulations before making such connections, except when accessing only Princeton University public World-Wide Websites from the outside computer. All faculty, students, staff, departmental computer users, and authorized visitors, and others who may be granted use of the University’s systems and network services, must comply with the University's policies. When a member of the University community is found to be in violation of policy, any disciplinary action is handled by the normal University authority and via the normal disciplinary process that would apply for other types of infractions. When an authorized visitor or departmental computing user is in violation of policy, the University sponsor or host may be held accountable. If the matter involves illegal action, law enforcement agencies may become involved as they would for campus actions that do not involve the information technologies or Internet. The University provides temporary visitor wireless network access service primarily for use by conference attendees, visiting colleagues from other schools, vendors making presentations, and other visitors with computers equipped for wireless access and who do not want or need to register their computers for more frequent network service. The temporary visitor wireless network access is not intended to provide service to devices used regularly on campus by Princeton University faculty, staff, or students, or to longer-term visitors. Such devices must be registered properly for network connectivity. Members of the University community may use the temporary visitor network access with other wireless-able devices, provided the frequency of use is no greater than seven days in a calendar month and the devices are not disruptive to network availability and performance. Temporary visitors and members of the University community who use the visitor wireless service must comply with University policies regarding network and Internet use. Abusive behaviors that disrupt campus service can result in a device’s being blocked indefinitely from further use of any University network services. Previous Section  |
