AUAF Technology Use Policy

AUAF technology resources should be used only to accomplish university-specific tasks, goals, and learning objectives.

Proper social and professional etiquette must be exercised when using the AUAF  IT system. Use of the network implies consent to the monitoring of traffic as necessary. AUAF does not condone the use of inappropriate language when writing to instructors, staff or students.

No AUAF technology resources are to be used to produce, view, store, replicate, or transmit harassing, obscene, or offensive materials.  This includes, but is not limited to, material from the Internet, screen savers, etc. In addition, the distribution of printed copies of such material, including those from magazines, is not permitted. AUAF will have zero tolerance for any student, faculty or staff members who violate this policy, and immediate dismissal may result.

University IT services shall not be used for purposes that could reasonably be expected to cause, directly or indirectly, excessive strain on computing resources or unwarranted and unsolicited interference with E-mail or E-mail systems. Use of IT services that could interfere with another student’s and/or employee’s work or disrupt the intended use of network resources is prohibited. Sanctions for misuse of E-mail, Internet or any part of AUAF technology resources will be determined by the Director of Information Technology following consultation with the Chief Academic Officer.
