Dartmouth College (including all undergraduate and graduate programs) is dedicated to the missions of teaching, education, research, and public service. In support of these missions, Dartmouth provides access to electronic information resources, including networks, software, and equipment, to its students, faculty, and staff.
The Dartmouth College Information Technology Policy (the "Policy") contains Dartmouth's philosophy and requirements governing student, faculty, and staff use of its information technology resources. Dartmouth College expects each member of the community to use Dartmouth's information technology resources, including connections to resources external to Dartmouth that are made possible by Dartmouth's information technology resources, responsibly, ethically, and in compliance with the Policy, relevant laws, and all contractual obligations to third parties. The use of Dartmouth's information technology resources is a privilege. If a member of the community fails to comply with this Policy or relevant laws and contractual obligations, that member's privilege to access and use Dartmouth's information technology resources may be revoked. The use of Dartmouth's information technology resources to send communications to Dartmouth or non-Dartmouth persons or entities typically identifies the sender as belonging to the Dartmouth community. Each member of the community should therefore recognize that any such communication may reflect on how Dartmouth is perceived by not only the Dartmouth community, but also the public at large. For more information, see Account and Naming Procedures.
By adopting the Policy, Dartmouth recognizes that all Dartmouth students, faculty, and staff are bound not only by the Policy, but also by local, state, and federal laws relating to electronic media, copyrights, privacy, and security. Other Dartmouth policies that relate to this Policy and also apply to Dartmouth College students, faculty, and staff (collectively, the "community") include the Dartmouth College Copyright Policy & Guidelines on copyrighted materials, the Dartmouth College Patent Policy, the Dartmouth College student handbooks and faculty handbooks, and the Dartmouth College Exempt and Non-exempt Staff Handbooks. Each member of the Dartmouth community is expected to be familiar with the relevant foregoing policies.
