Acceptable Use Policy Overview

You must read, understand, and follow UTC's Acceptable Use Policies (see the full, lengthy version). The following is not an all-inclusive list but rather a summary of common examples:

• Peer-to-Peer (P2P) is now banned from the campus network. Anyone found using this type of software will have their network connection shut off.
• Disrupting network access for others, whether deliberately or unintentionally. Examples: infected computers flooding the network with spam or viruses, P2P file-sharing applications that consume more than a fair share of network resources, improperly configured network devices.
• Using technology resources to violate any State or federal law including copyright and license agreements. Examples: illegally downloading, storing, and/or sharing copyrighted materials, viewing child pornography, theft of confidential information.
• Transmitting abusive, threatening, or harassing messages, chain letters, spam, or other communications prohibited by law or University policy.
• Unauthorized attempts to scan or gain access to systems, accounts, network traffic or information not intended for you.

Violations may result in termination of access, disciplinary review, explusion, and possible legal action. If you receive notice of an AUP violation, follow the instructions in the notice or contact the IT Support Desk at 425-4000 as soon as possible.
