BY USING YOUR GVSU NETWORK ACCOUNT, YOU HAVE AGREED TO THE CONDITIONS LISTED BELOW AND ALL ARTICLES AND POLICIES OF THE STUDENT CODE.

Grand Valley State University makes available resources for students to access electronic mail, lab software, the Internet, and other resources for use in pursuing the academic mission of the University. This assumes that access to such services is essential to the educational experience. The owner of the accounts is held responsible for all use of the account. Accounts are not to be shared among multiple users. 

STUDENT NETWORK ACCOUNTS

Each student currently enrolled or accepted at GVSU will automatically receive an Academic Network Account. This account allows access to all computer labs, email, Learning Management Systems, Library access, network space as well as other services. This account will remain active while the student is enrolled at GVSU. It will be terminated upon graduation or non-enrollment.

While the holder of a GVSU Academic Network Account has student lab privileges, there are certain responsibilities in return: Learn how the software works, consideration of other GVSU user's access and rights, regularly change the password on the account and not share it with others, notification of misuse of GVSU network or student lab access, notification of security problems, and notification of hardware or software problems. Users should notify IT Services at 331-2101 in case of problems. 

ACCOUNT SERVICES

Users are granted access to services only for so long as they abide by the Acceptable Use Policy. No person shall gain use of the University's computer system without proper authorization. Any attempt by a user to gain access to another person's network account, private network drive, or restricted areas on the GVSU computer system shall be considered a violation of the GVSU Student Code. For further information regarding electronic mail, refer to the GVSU EMail Policy.

To fully understand your rights, the university rights and all aspects of computing, please review all Information Technology Policies and Procedures at www.gvsu.edu/it/vp.

RESPONSES TO CLAIMED VIOLATIONS
