Network Access, Media and Social Networking

The District provides network and telecommunications services as a tool for students, staff and faculty. Internet access is provided to assist in the completion of college related work and assignments. As such, the District provides this service and is subject to state and federal regulations. This applies to all equipment attached to the provided network, wired or wireless, without regard to ownership of the equipment. The District recognizes that incidental personal activities may occur provided that such use is within reason, is ordinarily on one’s own time, is occasional, and does not interfere with or burden the District’s operation. (Please review “Privacy Interests” and “District Rights” sections above.)

Personal social networking accounts shall not be used to officially represent campus or District entities on social networking, wiki, or other social media sites. For official representation of any District entity, a campus or district account, approved by the president/chancellor or their designee, must be used. The account holders must agree to use the resources legally, ethically and in keeping with the intended use per the procedures of their respective sites.
