Rules Governing Computer Usage at SUNY Oswego
As a user of SUNY Oswego's Computer and Network services there
are certain rules, regulations and network etiquette which you
must observe. This document is to inform users of these regulations
and functions as an overview of the general rules for usage and
conduct. This document is NOT a complete list of potential problem
areas. Computer accounts and network access is provided to students,
faculty and staff of SUNY Oswego as a privilege. Therefore, computer
accounts and network access may be suspended or revoked if these
rules are violated.
- Computer accounts and network access is provided for exclusive
use by an individual or a group of individuals specified by
SUNY Oswego. Providing other individuals or groups access to
your account or use of the campus network is not allowed.
- Attempts to gain unauthorized access to any account, file
or network which is not specifically provided for your use,
including those systems not operated by SUNY Oswego is forbidden
and WILL result in immediate revocation of ALL accounts and
network access provided for your use by SUNY Oswego.
- Attempts to circumvent restrictions placed on your account
or network access are forbidden.
- The running of server or daemon processes on the campus time
sharing systems is not allowed unless given prior written authorization
from the campus computer center(s). Users who administer computers
on the campus network that are used as servers have the additional
responsibility to respond to any use of their server that is
in violation of this Acceptable Use Policy.
- Computer services or network access at SUNY Oswego are not
allowed to be used for commercial purposes other than those
that are involved in the running of the college.
- Non-college related uses of computer services and network
access that result in a negative impact on college related uses
are not allowed and will be terminated.
- Campus network services, equipment, wiring or jacks may not
be altered, removed or extended beyond the location of their
intended use.
- SUNY Oswego-specific or commercially obtained network resources
may not be retransmitted outside of the SUNY Oswego community.
Examples include, but are NOT limited to: the IT newsgroups,
databases licensed by Penfield Library, CBT Courses and campus
licensed anti-virus software.
- The campus network is a shared resource. Excessive use of
the network resources which inhibits or interferes with the
use of the network by others is not permitted.
- College units and individuals who configure computing systems
to provide information retrieval services to the public at large
must do so in a manner consistent with the college mission.
For any such services provided through the campus network the
college name must not be used in ways that suggest or imply
endorsement of other organizations, their products or services.
- Campus network resources may not be used to defame, harass,
intimidate or threaten. College harassment policies cover all
uses of the campus network and computer resources, including
e-mail correspondence and newsgroups.
- Use of SUNY Oswego's computer services or network access
for ILLEGAL purposes are expressly forbidden. Violations of
any of the rules and regulations listed above can result in
the suspension and/or revocation of any and/or all computer
accounts and network access provided to you by SUNY Oswego.
Violations of campus regulations or local, state and federal
law will be referred to the appropriate authorities.
- SUNY Oswego reserves the right to inspect any information
or data residing on any of its systems whenever it is deemed
necessary. All information, including personal information,
placed on campus systems or sent over the campus network may
be monitored. Use of SUNY Oswego's computer and network systems,
authorized or unauthorized, constitutes consent to monitoring
of these systems
