Computer, Electronic Communications Systems and Network Access Acceptable Use Policy for Students for Garland Independent School District Technology

Guidelines for Acceptable Computer Use (AUP). http://www.garlandisd.net/departments/technology/tech_policies.asp

USE OF DISTRICT RESOURCESUse of District computing resources and facilities requires that individual users act in compliance with District policies and procedures, and failure to comply may result in restriction or revocation of access to District resources. Computing "resources and facilities" include, but are not limited to, District- and College-owned host computer systems, networks, peripheral equipment (such as modems, terminals, and printers), computers and workstations, software, data sets, storage devices (such as CD-ROMS, hard and soft disks, and the like), and all computer communications controlled, administered, or accessed directly or indirectly by the District or by any user.

The District provides users with an account that permits use of the computing resources and facilities within policies and procedures established by the District. Any person who uses District computing resources and facilities through District-

owned equipment (such as public access computers at the libraries and computer labs) is also a user and is permitted to use the computing resources and facilities within policies and procedures established by the District.

Users must respect the integrity of computing resources and facilities, respect the rights of other users, and comply with all relevant laws (local, state, federal, and international), District policies and procedures, and contractual agreements. Employees who use District computers or facilities must comply with the Texas Public Information Act and the Local Government Records Act as described in CR (REGULATION). The District reserves the right to limit, restrict, or deny computing resources and facilities for those who violate District policies, procedures, or local, state, or federal laws.

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSIONCensorship is not compatible with the goals of the District. The District shall not limit adult users' voluntary access to any information due to its content when it meets the standard of legality. A minor's parent may permit a minor user to have voluntary access to any information that meets the standard of legality.

PRIVACYThe general right to privacy is extended to the electronic environment to the extent possible. Users have a lessened expectation of privacy when using computer resources and facilities owned by public institutions such as the District. Issuance of a password or other means of access is to ensure appropriate confidentiality of District files and information. It is neither a guarantee of privacy nor a license for abuse or improper use of the District's computing resources and facilities. Privacy is mitigated by the Texas Public Information Act, administrative review, computer system administration, audits, and the nature of the electronic medium itself. Contents of electronic files will be examined or disclosed only when authorized by the user, approved by designated District officials, or required by law.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTYAll users should be aware that property laws apply to the electronic environment. Users must abide by all software licenses, District copyright and software policies and procedures, and applicable federal and state law. Users should assume that works communicated through a network are subject to copyright unless specifically stated otherwise. Unless permission of the author is obtained, use of any electronically transmitted information must comply with the "fair use" principle found in federal copyright law and CR (REGULATION).

CRIMINAL AND ILLEGAL ACTSComputing resources of the District, which include the hardware, software, and network environment, shall not be used for illegal activities. Any illegal use of these resources will be dealt with by the appropriate District authorities and/or other legal and law enforcement agencies. Criminal and illegal use may involve, but is not limited to: unauthorized access, intentional corruption or misuse of computing resources, theft, defamation, obscenity, child pornography, and harassment based upon race, ethnicity, national origin, disability, age, religion, or sex.

AUTHORIZED USEComputing resources are provided by the District to accomplish tasks related to the District's mission. Some computers may be dedicated to specific enterprises or teaching missions that limit their use. Incidental personal use of computing resources is acceptable if the use:

1. Imposes no measurable cost on the District; 2. Is not harmful to the District; 3. Is not a hindrance to the daily operations of the District; and 4. Has no adverse effect upon an individual's job or educational performance.

UNAUTHORIZED USEUnauthorized use of the District's computing resources and facilities includes but is not limited to: illegal activities; failure to comply with laws, license agreements, and contracts governing network software and hardware use; abuse of communal resources; use of computing resources for unauthorized commercial purposes or personal gain; failure to protect the user's password or use of the user's account; breach of computer security, harmful access, or invasion of privacy; use of computing resources for anonymous or identity-masked messages to other District users; or unauthorized encryption. [Refer to the Business Procedures Manual for additional information.]

COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND COPYRIGHT LAWThe District respects the copyrights of others. With very few exceptions, all computer software and documentation is protected by federal copyright law. [See CR (REGULATION)] The unauthorized or unlicensed use, duplication, or copying of computer software or documentation is contrary to District policy and is a violation of the law. Violators of any copyright are subject to both civil and criminal penalties and/or disciplinary action. District regulations and procedures will establish guidelines for the use of computer resources and local area networks.

SCANS STATEMENT

WHAT ARE SCANS SKILLS?These are the skills that employers need the most form their workers. SCANS skills are the predictors of success in the workplace.

WHO DEFINED THESE SKILLS?In 1989, the U.S. Department of Labor and Education jointly surveyed U.S. employers to find out the most important skills and competencies needed by workers. The results of that survey identified SCANS (Secretary’s Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills).

El Centro College Students and SCANSEl Centro College is committed to the preparation of our students for success in the workplace.

All El Centro College courses provide learning outcomes which result in the mastery of SCANS skills. Although each course will not include every SCANS skill, each course syllabus will identify the specific SCANS skills and competencies taught in that course. Throughout a formal program of study (Certificate, Degree or Transfer Program) a student will have the opportunity to master all SCANS skills and competencies.
