UVM General Policy Notice
Within the
University setting as within society at large,
the exercise of one's rights must be tempered
by recognition of the rights of others. The
discovery of new propositions or new solutions
may be followed by passionate advocacy. Such
advocacy must not, however, compromise the
ability of the University to provide safe
access to its educational programs and
activities.
The
University of Vermont provides a wide array of
computing, communication, networking, and
other information technology resources to
students, staff, and faculty to advance the
educational, research, and land-grant missions
of the institution. This Policy sets forth the
University’s expectations for the acceptable
use of those resources.
The
uvm.edu e-mail address that has been issued to
you is the official means by which the
University will communicate with you (during
academic sessions and break periods). You are
responsible for checking e-mail (from the
University) sent to your University e-mail
address.
Unauthorized
distribution of copyrighted material,
including peer-to-peer file sharing, may
subject a student to civil and criminal
liabilities and to University judicial
sanctions.
The
University of Vermont respects the privacy of
student educational records. In accordance with
this Act, as amended, this policy communicates
students’ rights with respect to their
educational records.
Individuals
who, through their behavior or words, create
significant disruption or engage in or
threaten personal harm or the destruction of
property may have their access to University
property, buildings, equipment, or campus
areas restricted or denied.
