User Accounts

All user accounts, including email, are the property of SCC. As such, any information associated with these accounts is not private. SCC reserves the right to monitor and record all network activity including e-mail, with or without notice, and therefore users should have no expectations of privacy in the use of these resources. Accounts on any College-owned computer equipment is limited to employees and current students. Access to College networks is restricted to SCC faculty, currently enrolled students and SCC staff. Community members and others who do not meet the aforementioned requirements are allowed temporary "guest" access at the SCC Library. All authorized users are solely responsible for managing their files (including the files that constitute an online course) and their email. Accounts may be deleted when employment is terminated, when student status has ended or at the discretion of the Administration of the College and/or the discretion of the Administrator of the network. The college is under no obligation to recover or protect user files from deleted accounts.

Each individual user is responsible for the proper use of their assigned account, including password protection.

Users must not share their computer account information with others who have not received College authorization. In the event of disciplinary action, the fact that someone else used your account will not be an excuse for violations of this Acceptable Use Policy. User accounts assigned to another person will not be used without written permission of the system administrator.
