Internet use from the College's network policy:

Warning! We regularly monitor students' and staff's activities on the Internet inside the College's network.

We regard as acceptable use of the Internet any search for and use of information related to a College subject or to a hobby.

E-mail users are able to communicate world-wide with other individuals or organisations whose e-mail addresses are known.

E-mail and the Internet represent an important learning resource. Like any resource, however, they can be wasted or abused. When using these facilities, students are expected to use their common sense and behave with normal standards of courtesy. They must not

• send electronic communications which are impolite, indecent, abusive, discriminatory or in any way intended to make the recipient feel uncomfortable;

• disclose to a third party the personal details of any other student;

• access any inappropriate Internet sites;

• breach another person's copyright in any material;

• upload or download any unauthorised software;

• use the computer network to gain unauthorised access to any other computer network;

• attempt to spread computer viruses.

Students need to be aware that thoughtless use of email and the Internet may just possibly jeopardise their personal safety either at the College or outside the College. We therefore instruct them

• not to disclose any personal details, such as their home address or telephone number, across the Internet;

• never to arrange a meeting in person with another person they have "met" or only communicated with by computer, without prior parental approval;

• not to respond to messages or bulletin board items that are indecent, suggestive, belligerent, discriminatory, threatening, or which make the student feel uncomfortable or unsafe in any way;

• to be aware that any person they "meet" or communicate with on-line may pretend to be someone else;

• to remember that everything they read on-line may not be accurate;

• to ignore offers which involve either financial transactions or personal meetings.
