UCSD Information Systems Rights And Responsibilities

UCSD Information Systems Rights And Responsibilities

Effective July 12, 2000 a new feature will be activated for the UCSD Link Family. At the request of the ACT Policy Committee and with assistance from Internal Audit we have developed a new form that is titled 'UCSD Information Systems Rights And Responsibilities'.

This form will appear on a periodic basis, immediately after you have logged on and is intended to inform you about issues regarding security, data access rights and your responsibilities when using computer information systems at UCSD. To accomplish this you will be asked to answer three questions. Each question can be answered True or False. Once you have answered the questions correctly you will be required to indicating your acceptance of the following:

Users are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the security, integrity, and confidentiality of the systems and data to which they are permitted access.
  • Respecting the rights of other users.
  • Observing all relevant laws, regulations, and contractual obligations.

Your access to the University's computing, networking, and information resources is provided in support of the University's mission of teaching, research, and public service. This access is a privilege which carries with it certain responsibilities. Users are responsible for maintaining the security of the systems, respecting the rights of others, and observing all relevant laws. Misuse of computing, networking, or information resources may result in the loss of computing privileges and/or disciplinary action. Additionally, misuse can be prosecuted under applicable statutes.
