                Appropriate Use of the Computer Systems
       in the College of Computer Science at Northeastern University

 Access to the computer systems and networks owned or operated by the
 College of Computer Science imposes certain responsibilities and
 obligations, and is granted subject to University policies as well as
 local, state, and federal laws.

 Appropriate use of these resources is always ethical, reflects academic
 honesty, and shows restraint in the consumption of shared resources. It
 demonstrates respect for intellectual property, system security, and
 individuals' rights to privacy and to freedom from intimidation and
 harassment.

 Making appropriate use of the resources means:
   - using resources only for authorized purposes.
   - protecting your computer account from unauthorized use. You are
     responsible and will be held accountable for all activities in 
     your account.
   - accessing only files, data, and network resources that are your own,
     that are explicitly publicly
   - available, or to which you have been given authorized access.
   - using only legal versions of copyrighted software.
   - being considerate in your use of shared resources, including but not
     limited to disk space, cpu cycles, network bandwidth, and printer paper.

 In making appropriate use of the resources, you must not:
   - use another person's account.
   - attempt to decode passwords or exploit possible security holes.
   - engage in any activity that might be harmful to the systems or the
     data stored on them, or other computers that are connected to them, 
     such as propagating viruses, removing systems files, or disrupting 
     services.
   - use the College's systems for personal material gain.
   - do anything that violates the above guidelines.

 The College considers any violation of appropriate use principles or
 guidelines to be a serious offense and reserves the right to copy and
 examine any files or information resident on College systems.  Violators
 are subject to having their account disabled and/or disciplinary action as
 prescribed in the honor codes and the student and employee
 handbooks. Further, violations of some of the rules is a violation of state
 or federal law, and may be punished according to those laws.

 Remember that the College provides these resources solely for coursework
 and research, and makes no guarantees about their availability. Using them
 is a privilege, not a right.

 I, the undersigned, agree to follow the above Appropriate Use guidelines.
