Technological & Instructional Resources

The computer equipment on campus is for use by everyone who is a member of the IUGB community. Access is available with the IUGB ID card, which must be produced upon demand by supervisors for all computer use on campus. 

All students, faculty, and staff are expected to follow the policy that applies to the use of the computer network and Internet system access. The system has been established for educational purposes to include classroom activities, career development, and limited high-quality, self-discovery activities. It has not been established as a public access or forum. The University has the right to place reasonable restrictions on the material accessed or posted, on the training needed before anyone is allowed to use the system, and to enforce all rules set forth by IUGB. Further, no one may use the system for commercial purposes to offer, provide, or purchase products or services through the system or use the system for political lobbying. 

The University makes no guarantee that the functions or the services provided by or through its Internet system will be error-free or without defect. It will not be responsible for: 

  • any damage suffered, including, but not limited to, loss of data or interruptions of service; 
  • the accuracy or quality of the information attained through or stored on the system; 
  • any financial obligations arising from unauthorized use of the system. 

Software Duplication: The University acknowledges that it licenses the use of its computer software from a variety of companies. Therefore, it does not own the software or its related documentation. Hence, unless authorized by the software developer, the University does not have the right to reproduce it. IUGB adheres to all applicable international copyright laws, which make illegal reproduction of software a crime and subject to civil fines and criminal penalties. IUGB also recognizes that there are certain limited circumstances when duplication of software is authorized. Consequently, it is the policy of IUGB that: 

  1. All employees and students shall use the software only in accordance with the licensing agreement. Anyone learning of any misuses of software or related documentation within the University shall notify an appropriate administrative authority; 
  2. Employees or students who make, acquire or knowingly use unauthorized copies of computer software are subject to discipline up to and including termination or expulsion.
