STUDENT WI-FI USAGE
General Description This policy is intended to protect the University and to ensure that students receive adequate access to the University wireless network using their personal devices. All policies listed apply both to the use of resources on or off campus. Hodges University is not responsible for damage to student equipment when used in conjunction with the University network or other technology resources. It is the responsibility of the Office of Information Technology department to provide students with basic information required to log on to the University student wireless network. No other assistance with student’s personal equipment is permitted. Students who use the network should have some form of up-to-date anti-virus and anti- spyware software on their laptop—for their own protection. Although using their own equipment, students, while on campus, must adhere to the policies listed in this Handbook. Determination of what the student will have access to and where is determined by the Office of Information Technology in conjunction with University administration. Whether connecting to the network or for general use, student laptop usage may be confined to certain locations. All registered students are provided a Hodges University email account (please refer to Email Usage policies). It is the responsibility of the student to check this assigned email account for notifications and information concerning changes to or availability of University technological resources. The University regularly conducts maintenance of its resources which may require service interruptions. The University makes no guarantee of service availability. Some lab study aids, and classroom software must be accessed on-site through a University computer. The University actively monitors network traffic for unauthorized or unacceptable use and reserves the right to terminate or restrict access to the network or other resources at any time
for maintenance or if there is a danger to the integrity of the network. Monitoring and Enforcement Monitoring: The Office of Information Technology of Hodges University, while managing the operation of computers and networks, may routinely monitor and log usage data. These persons may review this data for evidence of violation of law or policy, and other purposes. The use of the University student wireless network implies agreement with University monitoring policies. University officials reserve the right to monitor or access and examine the files and/or actual network activity of any user to investigate violations or suspected violations of security and/or policies. For this reason, students must regard themselves as having no expectation of privacy with regard to their file, electronic activities, data or communications. Enforcement: Students must adhere to all applicable acceptable use policies. In the event that a violation is suspected or has been reported, students may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from the University. Depending on the circumstances, the University may also pursue legal action.
