Terms of Network Use

When using K-State's computing resources (eg. computer labs and network connectivity), you must agree to the following:

I WILL:

  • abide by the policies set forth in K-State's IT Policies and K-State's Honor System.
  • keep my operating system up-to-date with critical patches and service packs.
  • install the University provided/required antivirus software and make sure that it is kept up-to-date. If I use an operating system (eg. Linux) that is not supported by the University provided antivirus, I will install my own antivirus software and keep it up-to-date.
  • keep my computer free of spyware, viruses, trojans and worms.
  • ensure that all login accounts on my computer use a strong password.
  • respect the privacy of other users. This includes refraining from attempts to gain access to any organization or person's computer, software or data without the knowledge and consent of such organization or person. This also includes refraining from the use of any tool designed to 'sniff' network traffic or 'scan' other computers or equipment on the network.
  • respect other network users by exercising restraint in my use of shared network resources.

I will NOT:

  • turn on a wireless access point (including devices configured to operate in "ad hoc" mode) or any other wireless device that might disrupt or otherwise affect other users' access to the wireless connection provided by the University.
  • connect a hub/switch/router or a computer configured as a hub/switch/router to the University network
  • provide FTP, SMTP, DHCP, P2P, HTTP or other network services via the University network.
