Procedures
FIU users are expected to be aware of and adhere to the security procedures of computers and networks which they access. It is important for campus users to understand and practice safe computing to prevent compromising our systems and network. FIU employees are ultimately responsible for their use of computers and networked devices, and must personally take security measures to protect campus systems and data in a variety of ways.
Guidelines
FIU encourages everyone associated with the university to act in a manner that is fair, mature, respectful of the rights of others, and consistent with the educational mission of the university.
Users should be alert to and report any abnormal behavior exhibited by computers or software applications since this may indicate the existence of a malicious program undetected by anti-virus software. Help to prevent problems by reporting such activities to ITSO by e-mail (abuse@fiu.edu) or through the Phish Alert Button.
Copyright
The purpose of this policy is to implement University practices that abide and conform to the Federal Law governing the copyright of digital resources as defined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, 105 PL 105- 304, including the activities involving the download, upload, or distribution of copyright protected digital material in any fashion, electronic data, information, voice, video and software by University computer system users on University computer systems.
The University is considered a content-neutral Internet service provider (ISP) for those websites or on-line materials over which the University has no editorial responsibility or control which are found within the FIU domain - signified by the address "fiu.edu" or within the range of Internet protocol addresses assigned to Florida International University. Such sites include, but are not limited to, the web pages or other on-line materials of individual faculty members or students, individual class sites and materials, and the web pages or on-line materials of student organizations and other organizations not formally a part of the University.
