Parker Computer Use Agreement

 

As a member of the Parker School community, I will. . . .

· Respect the privacy and safety of others and honor confidentiality. I will neither

disclose nor disseminate on the Internet personal information about others or myself.

· Respect computer and network equipment. I will not alter computer or network

configurations without the knowledge and consent of the network administrators.

· Understand that software piracy is a federal offense, and that Parker’s network may

not be used for distributing or storing commercial software not licensed by Parker

School.

· Understand that I am a representative of Parker on the Internet and so will display the

tact, control, and respect necessary to maintain credibility and respectability for both

the school and myself.

· Understand that I am responsible for all activity on my account, even if I am not the

one behind the keyboard; and for this reason I will keep my account secure and not

share my password with anyone else.

· Understand that Parker is an educational community, and that as such our educational

function is our paramount mission. Therefore I will defer my recreational activities to

times outside academic hours and to any fellow students or staff needing access for

academic work or projects.

· Understand that my actions on the Internet can have far-reaching consequences. I will

therefore make deliberate decisions not to engage in behavior that might adversely

affect the safety, security, or well-being of my self or others.

· Ask questions regarding computer procedures when I do not know how to do

something. Further, if I am unsure of what the consequences of a particular process

might be, I will ask before acting.

It should be further understood that users of Parker computing and networking resources

may not assume absolute privacy. When there is reasonable belief that this Honor Code

or other Parker policies may have been violated, users should expect that network

connections may be monitored and/or computer files be inspected.
