Our Policies:
Technology Use Policy Overview
This set of policies is designed to provide all users with information to facilitate effective use of technology at Alverno. Authorized users are permitted to access appropriate areas of these resources. Access must follow federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Policy (FERPA) Guidelines. Please refer to the policy in the Student Handbook. Note: when discrepancies between printed and electronic editions of an official document arise, the printed document takes precedence unless specifically noted. It is your responsibility to stay current with these policies. The most recent version of this policy can be found on the intranet or in the mailroom with the Network Account Request Forms under Technology Services.
We ask that you use the technology resources provided by Alverno, whether on or off campus, in a manner consistent with the purpose and the principles of the College. Each user is responsible for the policies in this document. Since technology environments change rapidly, this document is subject to change. These policies do not replace, but supplement, policies detailed in the Alverno College Catalog, Student Handbook, Alverno: How It Works, The Alverno Educator’s Handbook.
Privileges of technology resources users include: a fair share of the resources and a reasonable expectation of privacy as defined in this policy. Consequently, technology users are responsible for ensuring that others also experience these rights.
Responsibility of Users
This policy applies to students, staff, faculty, and other guests of the Alverno community. By using the technology resources of Alverno College, you agree to and accept the responsibilities described in this and other Alverno documents. In general, you agree to follow appropriate Ethical Conduct, to maintain a Respect for Others, and to assist in maintaining the Security of the information available. The use of technology resources at Alverno College is a privilege, not a right. Inappropriate use of resources may result in cancellation of those privileges or other disciplinary action. Inappropriate use may encompass behaviors not described in these guidelines.
