Questions about this policy may be addressed to Carl Heideman, Director

Hope College is committed to providing the resources and support necessary
to encourage effective use of all campus computer facilities. Use of
these facilities and network is a privilege, not a right. This privilege
is embodied in the responsible use of resources, including network
bandwidth, CPU time, and disk space. It is important that everyone
is aware of their individual obligations and what constitutes proper
use and behavior.
This document is not a policy statement. There are existing policies
within the Hope College Student Handbook, the Hope College Faculty
Handbook, and the Hope College Employee Handbook that can be applied
toward enforcement of responsible computer usage. There are also local,
state, and federal laws that can be applied. The purpose of this document
is to emphasize that such policies and laws apply directly to computer
usage.
Therefore users are warned not to take part in any of the activities
outlined below, as they may be in direct or indirect violation of the
local, state, federal laws, and/or college policies. Definitions for
these terms are provided on the frequently
asked question page of CIT's web site.
In cases where a system or network is in jeopardy, the user's access
may be suspended before a referral is made. In these cases, CIT will
make every attempt to immediately contact the user who is affected.
What Should You Do If You Are Aware of Suspicious Activity?
Any suspicious activity may be reported to Carl Heideman, Director
of Computing and Information Technology, in order to determine the
proper area to refer concerns.
