- Students must make every effort to care for and appropriately use the equipment and resources available as stated in Policy VII-I: Use of Computing and On-line Resources.
- Use of this technology for personal and/or recreational purposes (online chatting, games and non-academic research) is strongly discouraged due to the limited amount of equipment available.
