UI Residential Data Connection Privilege Agreement

(This agreement is part of your Residence Hall/Dining Services Agreement and can be found in your Handbook)

An Ethernet connection is provided in your room as a privilege, not a right. Along with the
freedom of access our campus information infrastructure affords comes the responsibility to be a
good citizen. As with any community, the on-line community, of which you are now a member,
cannot function without some sense of order. It is the responsibility of the connected resident to
adhere to these and all University of Idaho policies. The voice, video, and data networks are for
the use of UI students, faculty and staff, and are to be used only for the educational, academic,
and research purposes of the University. UI reserves the right to restrict access, availability of
access, and the terms of this agreement at any time for any reason.

You agree to comply with the University of Idaho Computer Use Policy.

You must install and regularly maintain a virus scanner on your computer.

You understand that support personnel will not provide assistance for any computer that is not
running a virus scanner or is not up to date with the manufacturers recommended security
patches.

You understand that you may not use any software or hardware designed to disrupt the security
of the campus network or any devices attached to the network. Likewise, you understand that
you may not engage in any activities designed to interrupt or intercept the network traffic of
other users.

You understand you may not use UI resources to support personal business interests and that you
may not sell or provide access to UI networks to outside concerns.

All use of network-based games employing broadcast transmission packets (such as multi-user
Doom, Descent. etc.) is discouraged. While appealing, these games generate massive network
traffic that disrupts the activities of other users across the campus network. You will respect the
priority of academic use of the network.

You will not use your connection to engage in software piracy or copyright infringement.

You understand you may not activate any type of shared file service or server that allows access
to your personal computer by anyone other than yourself.

You understand you are personally responsible for any activities originating from your network
connection.

You understand that the University of Idaho assumes no liability for data loss or equipment
damage pursuant to your use of this data port.

You understand that use of UI information resources on campus is guided by the same principles
and subject to the same sanctions as other campus activities. Violations of these principles will
be reported to the appropriate campus judicial body. Sanctions for violations can include, but are
not limited to, disconnection from the campus network, termination of your University
Residences agreement (if applicable), disciplinary action by the University Judicial Council, and
criminal prosecution by state or federal authorities.

You understand you have the right to your fair share of the campus network capacity. If you have
reason to believe another user or group of users is interfering with your access to the network,
you will report the problem to the help desk and expect that the UI network administrators will
investigate and, if necessary, take corrective action.

UI reserves the right, and by using this connection you give permission to UI, to monitor traffic
through your data connection for the purpose checking compliance with this agreement.

By accepting and using the Ethernet connection provided in your room or apartment, you agree
to abide by the terms and conditions set forth above. This agreement is only valid while you are
registered as a student at the University of Idaho.

Important Security Note:
If you use the campus wireless network, you should clearly understand that you will be
transmitting your information and data through the public airwaves. If you are uncomfortable
using a non-secure network, you are advised to refrain from using the campus wireless network.
The University of Idaho assumes no responsibility for any data loss or the compromise of private
information such as passwords, credit card information, registration data etc. while connected to
the wireless network.
