REQUIREMENTS - INTERNET ACCEPTABLE USE
MUS-provided Internet, intranet, and related access services are to be used
by students for activities identified as appropriate on the student's campus.
MUS-provided Internet, intranet, and related access services may not be used
for "for-profit" activities (private commercial purposes), except
those covered under formal agreements with the MUS, or for providing unauthorized
"internet sharing" services to off-campus users (e.g., dissemination
of music, video, or other types of information). Students must also follow all
other applicable MUS policies when using MUS-provided Internet services, e.g.,
the MUS information technology policy on "User Responsibilities" (Policy
1304.1) and other related policies.
Note that use of MUS-provided Internet access and services may be monitored
for purposes of planning and managing network resources, performance, or troubleshooting
purposes, or for investigation of suspected abuse, as described in the MUS information
technology policy concerning privacy and monitoring (Policy 1302).
