Acceptable Use Policy / Network Usage Policy
Your RNet connection is designed to provide you with an
Internet connection to be used for academic purposes. It is your
responsibility to use this service appropriately. By connecting a computer
to RNet, you are bound to and required to adhere to all aspects of the CSU
acceptable use policy and all university, city, county, state and federal
regulations. All users on the RNet system must read and accept the terms of
the following network usage policy.
-
Your RNet connection must not be used to provide email or
Internet access to non-students.
-
Use of RNet connections for commercial profit or gain is not
allowed in any form other than the publishing of your resume on the World
Wide Web. This includes, but is not limited to, selling access to resources
on your computer or making a direct financial gain from use of network
resources.
-
Your RNet connection must not be used to provide public
access to an FTP server or an HTTP server. In other words, you cannot store
web pages or downloadable files on your computer and use your RNet
connection to make them available on the Internet. Also, you cannot be a
mirror site for another Internet site. Personal web pages may be stored on
CSU's web server by requesting an account via the
students web site.
-
The network is a shared resource. Thus, you may not use your
RNet connection to engage in any activity having the tendency to demand a
large amount of network resources. This includes but is not limited to
Internet telephone use, the downloading of all types of music and video
media, and online gaming.
-
You may not attempt to circumvent the RNet firewall or any
other established network services.
-
RNet services and wiring may not be modified or extended
beyond the area of their intended use. This applies to all network wiring,
hardware and data jacks.
-
Checking for new mail must not be set to occur more frequently than every fifteen minutes.
Checking mail more
frequently uses an excessive amount of network resources.
-
Your RNet connection may not be used to transmit any
material that can be interpreted as offensive, abusive, or harmful to
others.
-
Your RNet connection may not be used to participate in the
unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material.
-
All users are responsible for the activity originating from
their computer. This includes all actions taken by guests and/or roommates
using your computer.
