College Internet & Network Usage for Minors

Acceptable Use - The purpose of MICHNET, which is the backbone network providing Mott Community College's connection to the Internet at large, is to support research and education in and among academic institutions in the State of Michigan by providing access to unique resources as well as the opportunity for collaborative work among its member institutions. Therefore, the use of your account must be in support of education and research and be consistent with the educational objectives of Mott Community College. The use of any other organization's network and/or computing resources through Mott Community College must comply with the rules and/or policies appropriate to that network. Furthermore, transmission of any material in violation of any U.S. or state laws or regulations is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, all copyrighted material, any threatening or obscene material as well as material protected by all laws governing trade secrets. Use for commercial activities (including product advertisement) requires prior permission. Any services accessed which require a monetary charge or financial commitment shall be the responsibility of the individual user. Finally, use for partisan political lobbying is prohibited.

Privileges - The use of Mott Community College's connection to the Internet is a privilege, not a right, and inappropriate use of that connection will result in cancellation of those privileges. The system's administrators will deem what is inappropriate use of the college's network and their decision is final. The system's administrators may close an account at any time as deemed appropriate and is the sole discretion of those administrators. The administration, faculty or staff of Mott Community College may request the system administrator to deny, revoke, or suspend specific user accounts.

Rules of Network Use - You are expected to abide by the generally accepted rules of computer network etiquette. At the present time these include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Be polite. Do not be personally abusive in your messages to others.
• Use appropriate language. Do not swear or use vulgar, obscene, or inappropriate language. All communications deemed illegal by any or all federal, state or local ordinances are strictly forbidden.

• Note that your electronic mail (e-mail) is not guaranteed to be private. People who operate the system do have access to all email. Messages relating to or in support of illegal activities may be reported to the proper authorities.
• Do not use the network in such a way that you would disrupt the use of the network by other users.
• All communications and information accessible via the network should be assumed to be private property. Users should not intentionally seek to obtain unauthorized copies of, or to deliberately modify, any files or other data (including passwords) belonging to any of the other users of this system without their explicit permission.
