Cyber Conduct
The College provides students with access to computers, networks, email, and wireless internet to support learning, research, and College business. Students are expected to use all College technology resources responsibly, ethically, and in compliance with College policies and the Code of Student Conduct. Prohibited activities include hacking or attempting unauthorized access; sharing passwords; downloading or distributing viruses, pirated software, or copyrighted materials illegally; viewing pornography on College networks or devices; damaging equipment; disrupting the network; wasting bandwidth; and engaging in illegal, threatening, or discriminatory behavior using College technology. Students may not connect personal devices to the College’s wired network or install unauthorized hardware or software.
The College may monitor, inspect, or limit access to its technology systems and does not guarantee privacy or security for files, email, or internet use on College networks. Student email accounts are provided for academic and College-related communication, with limited personal use allowed. Emails and electronic records may be accessed when necessary for safety, legal, or operational reasons and may be subject to FERPA and public records laws. Violations of this policy may result in loss of technology access, disciplinary action, suspension, or expulsion, and may also carry legal consequences under state or federal law.
