Eligibility Guidelines for UVM Academic Host Accounts
Eligibility Guidelines for UVM Academic Host Accounts

These are guidelines by which CIT administers accounts on UVM's academic host cluster, Moose and zoo.uvm.edu. They have been developed within the past three years or so, and are still evolving to accommodate changing technology, Internet culture, and client and university goals. They may or may not be accepted and applied on other servers and hosts that are managed in other areas across the campus.
