Policy on Acceptable Use of IT Facilities

1. Background

The College is bound by legislation and limited resources to ensure the appropriate, effective and legal use of its facilities. Increased legislation pertaining to information technology and telecommunications is compelling all organisations to review their internal policies and procedures to ensure compliance. The cost to the College of providing information technology facilities and in particular Internet access is a significant component of College budgeting requiring careful management of the use of these resources. Campion College is committed to providing an appropriate work and study environment supported by its policy framework.

2. Objectives

The College communications network and all computing devices are provided for the purpose of teaching, learning, research, professional development and administration. This policy informs users of their rightsand responsibilities in relation to their use of this technology. It applies to all users of the College's information technology (IT) facilities and is consistent with the provision of an environment that respects freedom of inquiry and expression, privacy and confidentiality, the law and due process.
