UVM Computer Usage Agreement

By accepting a UVM computer account I agree to the following:

  1. Users are responsible for all use of computers and network accounts provided to them by the University, including data backup and password maintenance.
  2. The University will seek to maintain system security, but users should not assume that information in their accounts is private. Authorized University personnel may obtain access to computing and networking resources as necessary to service the computing system and to investigate suspected violations of this policy, including unlawful activity. Users will be notified of such access when required by law and/or University policy.
  3. Users agree not to violate system security; interfere with system performance or another user's use of the system; attempt to hide their actions; or access network accounts, files or passwords intentionally and without authorization.
  4. Users agree to use the computers and network accounts only for lawful purposes which are consistent with University policies and procedures.
  5. The University does not monitor and is not responsible for the content of the accounts and other computing services it provides. Each user is responsible for all information s/he accesses, makes available or distributes using the computer/network account.
  6. Users may use their computers and network accounts for non-University matters except as otherwise prohibited by this or other University policy or where such use unreasonably interferes with academic uses, job performance, or system performance/operations. Such use is subject to the terms of this Policy, including without limitation terms regarding access to information on University computers and accounts.
  7. Users agree not to use their computers or network accounts for non-University fundraising, commercial purposes or personal financial gain. Users are permitted to advertise personal items for sale on electronic forums which allow such postings, but the advertisement(s) should not interfere with the intended purposes of those forums.
  8. Users understand that violation of this Policy may result in suspension or termination of computer, network account and other access and, depending upon the circumstances, may result in disciplinary action including, but not limited to, academic expulsion or employment termination. Policy violations will be processed through normal University channels. If the activity is also unlawful, it may result in criminal prosecution.
  9. Users agree to read and abide by this policy and its administrative interpretation as they may be amended from time to time. The Provost is responsible for providing administrative interpretation, which will be modified periodically in light of experience gained and legal and administrative developments. Users are responsible for reviewing this policy and its administrative interpretation on a routine basis.
