Security and Privacy in regard to Technology Resources
Immediately report any suspected breach in the security of
the network to appropriate College personnel, e.g. an instructor,
lab assistant, or system administrator. Users of campus networks
are responsible for safeguarding their user ID and password and for
all activity generated from their accounts. Users are expected to
comply with system administrator requests for information about computing
and Information Technology activities.
The College complies with the provisions of the
Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which prohibits the release
of educational records without student permission. The College
takes reasonable measures to protect the security and privacy of
its technology resources and accounts assigned to individuals, but cannot
guarantee security and privacy. The College is a public institution
and subject to the Alabama Open Records Act. Communications and other
documents created by means of College technology resources may be
released to appropriate authorities and all information stored
electronically may be made available in administrative or judicial
proceedings.
Users should be aware that privacy and security cannot be
guaranteed in any networked environment. The College reserves the
right to monitor network traffic generally and individual traffic if
necessary. The President or his/her designee may authorize access to employee
or student e-mail or computer files if it is believed necessary to
prevent or correct improper use, satisfy a legal obligation, or insure
proper operation of the electronic resources.
