INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY VIOLATIONS
• Lost classwork or other information rendered unavailable due to the locking of the laptops when not returned at the end of the checkout period. • Information stored on the loaner laptop related to the student or their personally identifiable information. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the laptop does not store this information during their use. Hodges University will not ship or deliver laptops and reserves the right to end this program at its discretion. Should a laptop be damaged at the time of return or otherwise lost, the student may be charged for its replacement or repair. The Office of Information Technology will track laptop distribution on its team site. Students who have not returned the laptops by the conclusion of the check-out period will be contacted via email that the laptop will be locked if not returned within five days. Tracking software is installed on all loaner laptops. Hodges may report any laptop not timely returned as stolen to the appropriate law enforcement authorities. Laptop Setup All software will adhere to the current versions in use by Hodges. The laptops will be equipped with minimal software as determined by the Office of Information Technology. Laptop Maintenance Returned laptops will undergo the following maintenance before being checked out again: • ReImage • Physical inspection • General cleaning

Violations must be reported immediately to the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, the Director of Information Technology, the Associate Dean of Students, or a member of University Administration.
