All users of departmental computing systems are expected to abide by a standard of conduct consistent with the San José State University Student Code of Conduct . Conduct in violation of the letter and spirit of this code can result in loss of the user's account and referral to the appropriate disciplinary body. Among the types of behavior that are considered inconsistent with the code of ethics are:

• Attempts to violate another user's privacy by accessing his or her files without permission.
• Deliberate attempts to circumvent or subvert security mechanisms, deny service to systems, or to cause to crash or 'hang' any computer system.
• Intentional introduction of a computer virus, worm, Trojan Horse or other malicious software onto any system on the network.
• Use of a computer system to harass another individual.

This list should not be considered as exhaustive, but merely representative of the types of behavior deemed inconsistent with the expected ethical conduct of our users.
