                 Appropriate Use of the Computer Systems
           in the College of Computer and Information Science
                       at Northeastern University

Access to the computer systems and networks owned or operated by the College
of Computer and Information Science imposes certain responsibilities and
obligations, and is granted subject to University policies as well as local,
state, and federal laws.

Appropriate use of these resources is always ethical, reflects academic
honesty, and shows restraint in the consumption of shared resources.  It
demonstrates respect for intellectual property, system security, and indi-
viduals' rights to privacy and to freedom from intimidation and harassment.

Making appropriate use of the resources means:

   o using resources only for authorized purposes.
   o protecting your computer account from unauthorized use. You are respon-
     sible and will be held accountable for all activities in your account.
   o accessing only files, data, and network resources that are your own,
     that are explicitly publicly available, or to which you have been given
     authorized access.
   o using only legal versions of copyrighted software.
   o being considerate in your use of shared resources, including but not
     limited to disk space, cpu cycles, network bandwidth, and printer paper.

In making appropriate use of the resources, you must not:

   o use another person's account.
   o attempt to decode passwords or exploit possible security holes.
   o engage in any activity that might be harmful to the systems or the
     data stored on them, or other computers that are connected to them,
     such as propagating viruses, removing systems files, or disrupting
     services.
   o use the College's systems for personal material gain.
   o do anything that violates the above guidelines.

The College considers any violation of appropriate use principles or
guidelines to be a serious offense and reserves the right to copy and
examine any files or information resident on College systems.  Violators
are subject to having their account disabled and/or disciplinary action as
prescribed in the honor codes and the student and employee handbooks.
Further, violations of some of the rules is a violation of state or federal
law, and may be punished according to those laws.

Remember that the College provides these resources solely for coursework
and research, and makes no guarantees about their availability.  Using them
is a privilege, not a right.

I, the undersigned, agree to follow the above Appropriate Use guidelines.
