Computer Use - Students

A.	Box Elder School District is highly committed to providing students a quality educational experience in all areas of the curriculum, 
	including information technology. Our investment in computer software and equipment is substantial.  In order to protect this 
	investment and provide the best education possible, all students 	using computers agree to the following conditions of use:

1.     I recognize that the use of a computer is a privilege and agree to be respectful of this expensive equipment and not abuse or mistreat computers, software, diskettes, network cabling or manuals in any way. 


2.     I will not attempt to obtain or enter any passwords other than those that I provide for my own files (teachers are 
		never to disclose passwords to students, including student aides). 


3.     I will not install or use any software or program other than that provided by the instructor on school computers. 


4.     I will not shut off any file servers, and will only shut off computers and/or any other equipment when told to do so by the instructor. 


5.     I will not adjust or change any controls unless told to do so by the instructor. 


6.     I will not engage in any physical activity (horseplay, running, roughhousing, etc.) in any lab or classroom where computer equipment could be accidentally damaged. 


7.     I will not bring or consume any food or drinks in any lab or classroom where computers are located. 


8.     I understand that the school can not be responsible for viruses contracted on students' personal diskettes. 


9.     I agree to download from the internet system only material and/or information which has been approved in advance by the 
instructor. 


I agree to abide by the above terms and conditions.  I understand that any computer down time and/or damage caused 
by me to computer equipment shall be my responsibility and I agree to pay the costs of associated repairs including labor and parts.  I also understand 
that any violation of this policy may result in the loss of my computer use privileges and/or the school may refer charges to law enforcement authorities 
for vandalism, criminal mischief, the collection of damages, or other legal recourse.
