Public and Private folders: There are three (3) primary areas in which you can save information. The owner of the account is the only one with modify access to any file.

The WWW directory is public and is where your web pages are stored. Anyone can see the information in this area.

IIII. Security & Other Policies

Unauthorized use: It is the student's responsibility to guard their account from unauthorized use. When using the account in a computer lab on campus, be sure to log off the computer when you are finished. If you do not log off, then someone else could access and modify your information.

Logoff and Logon It is your responsibility to log off a computer when you have finished using it. This will ensure that no one else is able to access and use your account. It is also your responsibility NEVER to use a computer that has NOT been logged off. If the computer you want to use is logged on, first log it off, then log on with your account.

Automatic Logoff: Some of the campus lab computers will have an automatic logoff feature after 20 minutes. Therefore, if you have logged in to a campus lab computer and you do nothing for 20 minutes the computer will be logged off. So be sure to backup your files as you work. This is not a total security answer, but it is a small help.

Backups: Information Technology Services will do daily backups for all data, but students are encouraged to backup any critical data. If any data needs to be recovered, there will be a 24 hour turnaround time .

Non Active Accounts: If your account has been disabled or deleted and you need to retrieve data, contact the Information Technology Services HelpDesk.

Deactivated Account : Accounts that are not activated prior to Midterm will be deactivated . To reactivate your account, contact Information Technology Services HelpDesk. Your account will be ready the next business day.

Disabled account: If a student is not enrolled for the current term their account will be disabled. All public information is available to be viewed, but no modifications or additions may be made. It is the student's responsibility to remove all data they want saved prior to their account being disabled. This also is true for students who have graduated.

Deleted account: The account for any student who has not been enrolled for two (2) consecutive terms will be deleted and all associated data will be removed. This also is true for students who have graduated. Data associated with deleted accounts will be stored for 30 days and then deleted.
