ICT Acceptable Use Agreement

Students are responsible for good behaviour when using computer facilities, just as they are in a classroom or a college corridor. General college rules apply.
 
The College's computer facilities and Internet access are provided for students to conduct research, learn new skills, support their learning, and to communicate with others. Remember that access is a privilege, not a right, and that access requires responsibility.
 
Individual users are responsible for their behaviour and communications over the network and the Internet. It is presumed that users will comply with College standards.
