Student Permission for Network Use

Student accounts will not have sufficient privileges to access the administrative networking domain or administrative computers. Because of this, a formal written request and approval process for creating student accounts is not required.

The method for creation of student user login/e-mail accounts for use on the Academic network will be at the discretion of the Academic Network Administrator, with the approval of the Director of Computing Services. Accounts may be requested by students and processed strictly by electronic means, if feasible.

However, students are expected to abide by all expectations, responsibilities and guidelines of this Policy, any other applicable BCC policies, standards and procedures and applicable State and Federal laws and rules. Because of this, a student account may not be created on the Academic network until the Academic Network Administrator has ensured that the student has read and agreed with this Policy.

This may be done with the use of a Web form requiring electronic acknowledgement by the student when requesting an account (using the information contained in the BCC Acceptable Use Policy Agreement Form). Login Banners that must be acknowledged before use of Academic network or computing resources, containing the same textual information, may also be used.

Computing Services will also maintain an electronically accessible copy of this policy and any related procedures and standards on the Academic Support web site and a printed copy in the Open Lab in N250 on the main campus.
