E-MAIL CODE OF ETHICS

1. I understand that Electronic Mail (e-mail) is a privilege, not a right. My e-mail privileges may be limited or revoked at any time.

2. I understand that my e-mail account is good for the semester only.

3. I understand that any e-mail I send or receive is electronically stored on University equipment and may be scanned by the system operators who manage them. I will not consider e-mail 100% private.

4. I agree to conduct myself in a professional manner when sending e-mail. I understand that my actions will reflect upon this institution and on the university system as a whole.

5. I will not give my password to anyone else because I know I will be held responsible for all e-mail sent from my coded account and further understand that this action would result in my e-mail privileges being revoked.
