Acceptable Network Usage Policy
University computing resources, including the residential network connections are for the sole purpose of supplementing and reinforcing the University's goals as set forth in the student and faculty handbooks and other mission statements of the University. Resources are provided in the hope that the entire university community will use them in a spirit of mutual cooperation. Resources are limited and must be shared. Everyone will benefit if all computer users avoid any activities which cause problems for others who use the same systems. Policies governing the use of these resources are in the Acceptable Use Policy.
In particular, no one may use university network resources:- for personal profit or gain
- to harass, threaten, or otherwise invade the privacy of others
- to initiate or forward e-mail chain letters
- to cause breaches of computer, network or telecommunications security systems
- to initiate activities which unduly consume computing or network resources.
Individuals who violate the aims of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action or to referral to law enforcement authorities. University personnel are authorized to monitor suspected violations and to examine items stored on any University storage medium by individuals suspected of violating this policy.
By clicking "Accept" you signify that you have read and will abide by the terms of the Acceptable Use Policy. You must successfully identify yourself using a Dalhousie NetID and password and accept this policy to use the network.
