COMPUTER SECURITY AND USE STATEMENT

 

Employee Name ___________________________________   Employee Number ___________________

 

I have been informed that, in the performance of my duties in the UCSD Libraries, University-provided computer hardware, software, data files, and networks are the property of or are licensed to the Regents of the University of California, and are to be used in accordance with the University of California Electronic Communications Policy. I have reviewed and understand the Rules of Conduct for University Employees Involved with Information Regarding Individuals on the reverse side of this agreement.

I understand that I may access my UCSD email account remotely for incidental personal use consistent with the University of California Electronic Communications Policy (more information regarding this policy could be found at http://www.ucop.edu/ucophome/policies/ec). I further understand that if I am a non--exempt employee, I may not access it in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act by using email for work purposes beyond 40 hours per week without the express permission of my supervisor through an overtime compensation arrangement.

I have been informed that my intentional and unauthorized disclosure of personal/confidential information is an invasion of privacy and may results in disciplinary, civil and/or criminal actions against me.

I also understand that it is against University policy to seek out or use university records including but not limited to, personal/confidential information relating to others for my personal interest or advantage.

I have been informed that under existing California State Law any person who maliciously accesses, alters, deletes, damages or destroys any computer system, network, computer program, or data shall be guilty of a felony.

I am advised that my account and password constitute my signature and I will be responsible for all entries made under my account. I also understand that either use of another person's account and password, or the delegation of my account and password to another person, would not absolve me of responsibility for actions taken under that account and password. Delegation of my account and password for the sole purpose of electronic mail retrieval may be made upon prior approval of my supervisor.

I am aware that the references on the reverse side include, but may not specify all, the computer use standards, policies, rules, and procedures and State and Federal laws by which I am governed.

I am advised that failure to comply with these policies, rules, and regulations may result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. Any violation of local, state, or federal laws may carry the additional consequence of prosecution under the law, where judicial action may result in fines, imprisonment, and the payment of damages.
