These discussions and examples do not limit the application of the [[CAEDM Policy]] in any way.  Statements made in the CAEDM policy may be interpreted by college employees in a more broad manner on a case-by-case basis.  The following has been provided as an aid to assist understanding the spirit of each statement given.
==Appropriate Use Of Resources==
====CAEDM resources may not be used for commercial use or personal gain.====
 <blockquote>Academic versions of software cannot be used for commercial purposes.  For example, creating a CAD model for an outside company is expressly prohibited.  Any other commercial use of the facilities; software, printing, or otherwise, is not permitted.</blockquote>
====CAEDM resources have been provided for educational use and incidental personal use.====
<blockquote>If the lab is full and a student is engaging in gaming, pleasure reading or social networking, they may be asked to make room for other users.</blockquote>
====Do not install software on any CAEDM systems. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_apps Portable applications] not requiring installation are acceptable.====
<blockquote>If a program requires a setup.exe or similar program for it to be used on a computer, it may not be installed on any lab computer.  If a program is needed for a particular class assignment or research project, a department CSR may be able to install it in a [[Department labs|department lab]] for use.  If the program is entirely self contained and requires no installation, for instance, [[SSH|Putty]], it is acceptable to use this software from your [[J Drive]] or a [[CAEDM groups#Group Filespace|group filespace]], or removable media.</blockquote>
====Respect copyright law====
<blockquote>Do not copy commercial software, movies, music, or any other copyrighted material. Plagiarism is unacceptable. Understand and apply [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use fair use] accordingly.</blockquote>
====Do not share passwords with anyone, including spouses.====
<blockquote>It is not permissible to share account passwords or privileges. [[CAEDM groups]] allow sharing of files, printing costs, and other resources between accounts.   </blockquote>
====Do not leave your workstation unattended. You are responsible for anything that happens while you are logged in.====
<blockquote>You are responsible for all activity on a computer when your account is being used.  Do not leave your computer unattended! If your account is used for inappropriate or illegal activities, you may be required to answer to the university Honor Code office, or local or federal law enforcement. </blockquote>

==Computer Labs==
====Respect others and the facilities====
<blockquote>The labs are expected to be a quiet place to study and complete homework. You may work in groups, but be respectful to those around you. A great deal of resources are spent creating and maintaining labs for students.   Crying babies or disruptive children are unacceptable. Computer labs and equipment are expected to last for many years, and they will if they are treated properly. </blockquote>

====No eating or drinking====
<blockquote>This includes water bottles, candy, etc.  Please use the hall, the lounge, or any of the dining facilities on campus to eat or drink. This is strictly enforced.</blockquote>

====Food and drinks, including closed containers, must not be visible====
<blockquote>Food and drink are not acceptable in the lab.  It must not be visible.</blockquote>
====Sound must be played through headphones====
<blockquote>Out of respect for others around you, music or other sound in the lab is not acceptable.  There are some labs and assignments that require sound, but you must provide your own headphones.</blockquote>
====Lab patrons are expected to follow the BYU Honor Code including Dress and Grooming Standards.====
<blockquote>We reserve the right to disable a patron's account if they are openly violating the Honor Code, including the Dress and Groming standards.</blockquote>
====Lab patrons must not engage in private or public behavior that is disruptive or creates an intimidating, hostile, offensive, environment for others based on their race, sex, color, religion, creed, age, marital status, handicap, or veteran status.====
<blockquote>You are expected to help create an environment in which everyone can learn. </blockquote>
====Do not alter, relocate, or damage CAEDM resources.====
<blockquote>It is not acceptable to unplug equipment.  For example, to unplug a lab monitor or mouse to use on a personal laptop.  Laptop stations have been provided for this purpose.  It would also not be acceptable to relocate tables to better accommodate a group of students trying to work together.  Please use a [[CAEDM Labs#Group Cubicles|group cubicle]], or other facilities instead.</blockquote>

==Unauthorized Access==
====Any form of hacking, cracking, probing, or network scanning is prohibited.====
<blockquote>In the School of Technology, classes may require students to use packet sniffers or similar tools to complete assignments.  These tools are '''NOT''' to be used in the general labs under any circumstances.  Such tools are to be used in controlled environments away from public data transfer.  Scanning, probing, and sniffing are incredibly powerful and useful tools, but are not appropriate for use in general college labs.</blockquote>
====Do not access, or attempt to access, files or systems you are not authorized to access.====
<blockquote>For example, it is not acceptable to attempt to access another student's J Drive to gain access to their work.</blockquote>
====Do not circumvent, or attempt to circumvent, the charging structure for printing.====
<blockquote>It may be possible to print to a college printer without paying for it.  This is dishonest and will not be tolerated.</blockquote>

==Consequences==
*1st violation- loss of account for 3 days
*2nd violation- loss of account for 1 week
*3rd violation- permanent loss of account

Violations of a more serious nature, including hacking or pornography, will result in the loss of account privileges. The Honor Code Office may also be notified. If a violation involves illegal activity, appropriate authorities will be notified.
<blockquote>Enforcement of CAEDM policies are left to the discretion of college employees.  Each incident may be handled differently depending on circumstances.</blockquote>

==''CAEDM reserves the right to monitor your account and associated computer activities without prior notice.''==
<blockquote>Your activities while on a computer may be monitored.  Most labs also have 24x7 video recording facilities.</blockquote>
