POLICY:

In keeping with its mission, the University provides computing resources to members of the University community. The computers, networks, and computing facilities made available by the University for student, faculty, and staff use are the property of California State University, Northridge and the State of California, and are provided for the completion of academic requirements, scholarship, and University business. Use of these resources is a privilege.

The purpose of the University Computing Resources is to provide a setting and opportunity for members of the academic community to express and to explore ideas openly, respectfully and freely, to acquire and to develop the skills of intellectual inquiry, and to critically examine the values of culture and society. Educational, scholarly and administrative programs have the highest priority, including the many aspects of faculty research.

The University makes no guarantee of privacy. While the University avoids monitoring accounts, the University may need to review accounts for administrative purposes or to provide statistical or legal information.

There is also no guarantee of protection from intrusion by others.
