General Principles
This document formalizes the policy for faculty, staff, students (both full and part-time) and all other individuals who have been granted use of the information technology resources of Cape Cod Community College (CCCC) ("Users"). This policy and CCCC's "Code of Conduct" govern access and use of the College's electronic information and information systems originating from non-CCCC computers, including personal computers and other electronic devices. The use of information systems acquired or created through use of College funds, including grant funds from contracts between the College and external funding sources (public and private), are covered by this policy. This includes College information systems that are leased or licensed for use by members of the CCCC community.
Information technology resources include, but are not limited to: computers, local and wide area networks, printers, other peripherals, software systems, data, electronic mail, and the Internet.
Access to CCCC's computer systems and networks imposes certain responsibilities and obligations as set forth in this document. Users are granted use of information technology resources subject to College policies, and local, state and federal laws. Acceptable use always is ethical, reflects academic honesty, and shows restraint in the consumption of shared resources. It demonstrates respect for intellectual property, ownership of data, system security mechanisms, and individual rights to privacy.
Use of CCCC's information technology resources shall constitute acceptance of the terms of this policy and any other applicable College policies, rules and procedures.
