POLICY:
Solano Community College District offers a variety of instructional and administrative computer and communications systems that support its educational and support programs. Such resources are available to students, faculty and staff. They are to be used for college-related activities. Computers and networks provide access to an immense number of resources on and off campus, as well as the ability to communicate locally or worldwide. Open access to such resources should be considered a privilege and requires individuals to act responsibly. Individuals must not alter the integrity of the systems and must observe all laws, regulations and contractual obligations.

Employees and students who use District computers and networks, the information they contain and related resources have a responsibility not to abuse those resources and to respect the rights of others. The Superintendent/President shall establish procedures that provide guidelines to students and staff for the appropriate use of information technologies. The procedures shall include that users must respect software copyrights and licenses, respect the integrity of computer-based information resources, refrain from seeking to gain unauthorized access, and respect the rights of other computer users.
