Computer Lab Policies

Account Privileges:

Your account is for your use and your use only. It is not acceptable to allow other people, especially non-students, to use your account to gain access to SUU resources. Violation of these policies could result in termination of your network access.

Non-University Provided Software:

Installation of any software on any school owned computer is considered unacceptable. The Acceptable usage Policy, in sections III-1, III-2 and III-5 states that unethical and/or unacceptable usage is defined as:

1. Any action that violates institutional or third party copyright, license agreements, and other contracts.
2. Any action that interferes with the intended use of the information resources.
3. Any action which, without authorization, destroys, alters, dismantles, disfigures, prevents rightful access to, or otherwise interferes with the integrity of computer-based information and/or information resources.

For these reasons, any installation of software will not be allowed on any school owned computers, unless that software is approved and installed by the Southern Utah University networking staff. Violation of these policies could result in removal of network privileges, and/or legal action.

Laptops:

For students who have wireless network cards, there is wireless connectivity in several buildings around campus. In addition to the wireless access, there are also active wired data jacks around the outside of the 2nd floor of the library (South and East walls), around the rotunda in the student center, and in some classrooms around campus (BU106 and large lecture halls in the PE building). It is NOT acceptable to unplug lab computers and plug laptops in those locations. For more details on the wireless and wired access, follow the Wireless/Wired link.
