What are my responsibilities as an account holder?
You are responsible for all activity on your account. Remember to log off the computer
when you are finished working with it! You are required to abide by the NPS Appropriate Use Policy (NAVPGSCOLINST 5230.4C). The Appropriate Use Policy can be viewed at:
http://www.nps.navy.mil/ITACS/AppropriateUse.pdf (PDF).
Computer use at NPS is intended “For Official Use Only.” That is, official, academic,
and research use only. Incidental personal use is permitted for E-mail and Web
browsing. NPS computers and/or networks may not be used for commercial or
proprietary work. Specific restrictions limit your use of bulk E-mail (a message to 25 or
more addressees). Refer to the Appropriate Use Policy for further guidance on this topic.
Software on NPS computers is copyrighted and may NOT be copied or redistributed for
use on any other computer, unless specifically stated otherwise by ITACS personnel. Software may NOT be installed on NPS computers without the explicit consent of ITACS personnel.
Server disk space is a shared resource. You must manage your E-mailbox and home
directory so that old files are archived or deleted, and server disk space is used efficiently.
If an ITACS support person contacts you about archiving or deleting excess files on servers, please take immediate action.
You must unsubscribe from all mailing lists and/or discussion lists before you leave NPS.
You must check out with the Student Services Center, located in the Basement of Herrmann Hall, during the week before you plan to leave NPS. This applies to ALL NPS employees. You can find the check out form at:
http://www.nps.edu/Technology/PDF/Student Check Out Sheet.pdf
A Pre-Departure Checklist is available, and is useful for all employees leaving NPS.
You must uphold your User Responsibilities. Failure to do so will be reported, and your computing privileges may be revoked.
