Finance Division Computing Policy

Computing equipment and network resources are tools provided by Texas A&M University and the Division of Finance for each employee to efficiently perform their jobs. This includes all university equipment located both on and off campus. If an application, data, or information is not related to an employee's job duties, it should not be contained on University equipment. By following responsible computing rules, we can keep our Division's computing environment secure, virus free, and compliant with license agreements and laws. This allows our Division to obtain the maximum benefit from our computing resources.

Use of these resources and facilities requires that individual users act in compliance with University Rules and Division policy. The Division provides users with accounts that permit use of the computing resources and facilities within these rules and policies.

Users must respect the integrity of computing resources and facilities, respect the rights of other users, and comply with all relevant laws (local, state, federal, and international), University Rules, System Regulations and contractual agreements. The Rules for Responsible Computing at Texas A&M University can be found at:
http://rules-saps.tamu.edu/PDFs/33.04.99.M2.pdf.

Misuse of University resources results in lost time and resources to the Division of Finance and Texas A&M University. Failure to fulfill these responsibilities may lead to the cancellation of computer account(s), disciplinary action by the University, and/or referral to legal and law enforcement agencies

Users in the Division of Finance should adhere to the Division policy, University Rules, and System Regulations. Any questions should be directed to a member of the Division's computing group.
