Information Technology Resources Policy - Handbook


Use of the computing and network resources at MTSU is governed by the University's Information Technology Resources Policy. Violation of this policy can result in the loss of all computing privileges at MTSU plus additional disciplinary action.

The policy covers several very important issues for using information technology resources at MTSU:

  • Use the computer and network resources to enhance your education in the academic fields offered by MTSU.
  • Do not abuse other users, the equipment, or computing resources.
  • Do not do anything that would deprive or interfere with others' efforts to get a proper university education. Using the computer for entertainment in ways that consume large amounts of resources is an example of activity that could degrade or deprive others' use for educational purposes.
  • Do not violate any laws.
  • Do not install wireless network transmitters.
  • Do not display obscene material in a public area.
  • Do not, for example, harass or impersonate another.
  • Do not copy the work of another and claim it as your own.
  • Do not violate copyright laws.
