UVM Computer Usage Agreement
By accepting a UVM computer account I agree to the following:
- Users are responsible for all use of computers and network accounts provided to them by the University, including data backup and password maintenance.
- 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.
- 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.
- Users agree to use the computers and network accounts only for lawful
purposes which are consistent with University policies and
procedures.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
