OSU CIO Policy on Responsible Use of University Computing and Network Resources
Please refer to The Ohio State University Policy on Responsible Use of University Computing and Network Resources from the office of the OSU CIO.
Further discussion
The purpose of the network is to advance the research, instruction, and service missions of The Ohio State University by assisting in the interchange of information, providing access to resources, and facilitating collaboration through electronic communications and networking.
All use of the network and network resources must be consistent with this purpose.
In general, use for commercial activities or for-profit activities is not acceptable. For example, product or service advertising, mass mailings of commercial matter, and commercial transactions for for-profit activities are prohibited.
It is not acceptable to use the network to transmit libelous or harassing materials.
It is not acceptable to use the network so as to interfere with or disrupt network operation, networked resources,information, or communications traffic. Disruptions include propagation of computer "worms" and "viruses".
Dial-up Access
The network includes off-campus dial-up access. The dial-up access connections are to be used to carry out OSU College of Food, Agriculture, and Environmental Sciences business or research.
Non-Compliance
Non-compliance with the Responsible Use Policy may result in the temporary disconnection of computers or networks from the OSU network until the problem is resolved. Individuals may be subject to penalties under the regulations of The Ohio State University and/or criminal penalties under laws of the State of Ohio or the United States.
