Network Policies

return

Grainger Labs are responsible for securing its network and computing systems in a reasonable and economically feasible degree against unauthorized access and/or abuse, while making them accessible for authorized and legitimate users. This responsibility includes informing users of expected standards of conduct and the punitive measures for not adhering to them. Any attempt to violate the provisions of this policy will result in disciplinary action in the form of temporary revocation of user accounts, regardless of the success or failure of the attempt. Permanent revocations can result from disciplinary actions taken by a panel judiciary board called upon to investigate network abuses.

The users of the network are responsible for respecting and adhering to local, state, federal and international laws. Any attempt to break those laws through the use of the network may result in litigation against the offender by the proper authorities. If such an event should occur, this organization will fully comply with the authorities to provide any information necessary for the litigation process.

Once a user receives a UserID to be used to access the network and computer systems on that network, they are solely responsible for all actions taken while using that UserID. Therefore:

1.	Applying for a UserID under false pretenses is a punishable disciplinary offense.
2.	Sharing your UserID with any other person is prohibited. In the result that you do share your UserID with another person, you will be solely responsible for the actions that other person appropriated.
3.	Deletion, examination, copying, or modification of files and/or data belonging to other users without their prior consent is prohibited.
4.	Attempts to evade or change resource quotas are prohibited.
5.	Continued impedance of other users through mass consumption of system resources, after receipt of a request to cease such activity, is prohibited.
6.	Use of facilities and/or services for commercial purposes is prohibited.
7.	Any unauthorized, deliberate action which damages or disrupts a computing system, alters it normal performance, or causes it to malfunction is a violation regardless of system location or time duration.

By using Grainger Labs you are agree with the statements above and understand that the violation of the policies may lead to disciplinary action, including, but not limited to, suspension of access to the WWW, suspension of email privileges, suspension of computing privileges, suspension or expulsion from the University, suspension or termination of employment, imposition of fines, and referral for legal action.
