COMPUTER AND NETWORK USE GUIDELINES If you are a new student, then please allow a day for your student account to become available for you to activate. You must read and agree with the terms of these guidelines before your student account will be activated. If you maintain continuous enrollment at ASUN, your network ID will continue to be valid. If you drop from school, your network ID and all associated files will be removed one year from the date of the last semester attended. If you return to school after an absence of a year or more, you must re-activate your account. UNREAD MAIL Messages that are older than four(4) weeks will be automatically deleted from the system, even if they have not been read. PRIVACY OF E-MAIL ADDRESS Once an E-Mail account is created, the address will become available to anyone on the ASUN campus who wishes to look it up. It is not possible for us to create an E-mail address that is not listed in this way. COPYRIGHTED COMPUTER SOFTWARE Be aware that software is protected by international copyright laws. However, illegal copies of protected software are often made available from the Internet and other sources. Before receiving or making a duplicate of any software product, students should determine if the software producer allows such duplicates to be made or distributed legally. Failure to comply with the conditions related to any software product is considered a basis for disciplinary action toward the offending person. COMPUTER ETHICS Each student computer user at Arkansas State University-Newport is responsible for his/her actions regarding general computer usage and network access. Free and open access to computing resources is provided within the guidelines outlined in this statement. Any attempt to obtain or utilize another individual's computer/network account, to use or abuse information from another user's files without his/her permission, or to intentionally attempt to adversely affect the computing of others, will result in immediate cancellation of computing privileges. The offending individual will also be referred to the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs for disciplinary action. During busy periods when lab computers are heavily utilized, non-university required activities such as game playing and electronic chatting may be restricted. If an individual does not cease these activities when asked to do so, his/her computing account will be removed, and he/she may be referred to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs. The use of computing should demonstrate respect for other users. Network activities such as propagation of obscenity or pornography, the sending of "chain letters", or other activities which cause congestion or impact the work of others may also result in the loss of an account and subsequent disciplinary action. For a more detailed explanation of the Computer and Network Use Guidelines, please see the ASUN catalog.
