Res-Net Policy

The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) is committed to being a good network neighbor on the Internet. All computers connected to the Res-Net network are using UIC's network for access and are expected to abide by the following rules in order to continue receiving network access.

The use of the network connection in the residence hall is a privilege and not a right and shall be consistent with the UIC Computer Use Policies. Failure to comply with the following policy statements will result in a minimum of the loss of your network connection. In addition, action for noncompliance may be taken with Student Judicial Affairs as well as any pertinent law enforcement agency.

You are responsible for all actions performed from your computer that is connected to the Res-Net network. Granting access to others to use your computer for network access is prohibited.

You are expected to take all reasonable security precautions to ensure that your computer is not used by others for abusive or illegal purposes. If your machine is identified as being used for such behavior, access will be revoked.

The use of your Internet connection for non-University related activities including but not limited to income producing or other business activities is not allowed.

You may not run servers on your residence hall connected computer with the intention of having other people accessing the servers. This includes, but is not limited to ftp, telnet, and mail servers as well as all others. Some servers such as www, irc, dns and others are specifically prohibited.

Use of your Internet connection for the following unlawful and/or unethical activities will be considered to be a severe transgression and dealt with accordingly:

• Abusive behavior toward others via e-mail, irc, or any other electronic means.
• Unauthorized transmittal of copyrighted materials.
• Unauthorized use or access of remote computing resources at UIC or elsewhere on the internet.
• Concealing or changing your computer's IP address.
• Concealing or misrepresenting your name or affiliation in network communications.
• Preventing someone else from using the services on their own machine (e.g. Denial of Service attacks).
• Unauthorized use of someone else's computer
• Capturing network traffic not destined for your machine (i.e. sniffing).
• Extending the network in any way (e.g. adding a network hub).
• Excessive use of network bandwidth.

I understand and agree to abide by the above policy statement in order to continue receiving network access.
