ITC Policy

The primary purpose of the Information Technology Center (ITC) is to make information in electronic form easily accessible. Major funding for the equipment and staffing of the ITC is provided by an educational technology fee that UO students pay each term.

The ITC is open only to University of Oregon students, staff, and faculty. Patrons should be prepared to present identification verifying their current UO status.

1. Patrons may leave their machine unattended for a maximum of ten minutes. After that time, ITC staff may close out applications on the machine, and it will be made available to others.

2. Food and Drinks are not allowed in the ITC. Beverages are only permitted in closed, spill-proof travel mugs or pull-top plastic bottles. Please take care not to spill.

3. It is the responsibility of ITC staff to maintain the ITC hardware and software and assist with questions regarding use of the facilities and software. ITC staff are not to help with student assignments (except in a reference capacity) or programming problems. ITC student assistants do not have authority to make exceptions to ITC policies and procedures.
   

4. There is an 8 cents-per-page charge for black and white printing, and a 50 cents-per-side charge for color printing. In general, use the printers in a responsible manner, printing only what you need and conserving paper. The ITC printers will produce documents on 8 1/2 x 11 white paper and other paper when requested. Patrons must receive permission from the ITC Manager to print on their own paper or substitute other weights or types of paper in the printers. If you want to print on a transparency please inquire from ITC help desk assistant.
   

5. ITC staff can provide no money services (e.g. changing bills, selling supplies, etc.). Some money services are available at the Checkout/Information Desk, first floor of the Knight Library.
   

6. The use of games on ITC equipment is prohibited, unless for instructional purposes as specifically assigned in a University of Oregon course. The ITC follows the university guidelines for acceptable use of its computing resources. Activities related to the University's scholarly mission take precedence over computing pursuits of a more personal or recreational nature.
   

7. Commercial use of University of Oregon computing resources, including those in the ITC, is prohibited by both university and state regulations. Such use includes (but is not limited to) using computers or a scanner for commercial web-authoring purposes or for commercial multimedia or graphic arts creation.

8. Unauthorized or illegal scanning of documents or images is prohibited. This includes but may not be limited to scanning of copyrighted documents or images beyond the provisions of fair use, or scanning of currency or securities. Violators may be prosecuted under existing state and federal laws and may also be subject to University of Oregon disciplinary procedures under the Student Conduct Code.

   Unauthorized copying or transfer of copyrighted software is prohibited. Violators will be prosecuted under existing state and federal laws and may also be subject to University of Oregon disciplinary procedures pertaining to theft and misuse of University property.
   

   Software site-licensed to the ITC or to the University of Oregon may be copied for use by persons and in locations covered by the site license. It is prohibited to copy site-licensed software for use by persons other than those University of Oregon faculty, staff, and students expressly covered by the license agreement, or for use at locations not covered under the license agreement. Violators will be prosecuted under existing state and federal laws and may also be subject to University of Oregon disciplinary procedures pertaining to theft and misuse of University property.
   

9. Patrons abusing equipment, knowingly damaging facilities, or disrupting the work of others will be subject to regular University discipline procedures. Patrons may be held responsible for any damage to the workstations that they cause.

   Patrons may not deliberately perform acts which are wasteful of computing resources or which interfere with the use of computing resources. These acts include but are not limited to: unauthorized interception or diversion of network transmissions, forging or counterfeiting e-mail, cross-posting articles to many newsgroups simultaneously (spamming), distributing computer viruses, or creating unnecessary network traffic.
   

The University Conduct Code also applies to electronic forums. The code prohibits, among other things, lewd or indecent conduct, harassment, intentional disruption of University services, and illegal discrimination.
