Student Internet Access

Publication: Undergraduate Handbook

Policy Statement

Carolina University provides internet access on campus to students without charge.

Policy Procedures

Both wired and wireless internet access is provided in all buildings at CU. All users (employees, students, and guests) of the Internet should remember that they are entering a global community and any actions taken will reflect upon the university. The university reserves the right to examine all data stored in the machines operating on the CUNet, whether university or personally owned. We reserve as a right and responsibility the ability to check all network resources to ensure all users are complying with the law. It should be understood that all communications sent and received over the CU network must be in accord with the standards of the University. Further, no one should use the internet to perform any act that may be construed as illegal, unethical, or immoral (gaining unauthorized access to other systems on the network, downloading pornographic materials or materials unacceptable to CU standards, etc.). We also strongly condemn and prohibit the illegal distribution or receipt of software and media, commonly known as pirating.

Each room in the residence halls has two network connections for student computers. Current anti-virus software is required. The Technology Department reserves the right to refuse the connectivity of computers to the CU net.
