Policies for SSC Network Access

SSC Network users are subject to the SSTS Conditions of Use, shown below, and the UWO Code of Behaviour for use of Computing Resources policies.

Conditions of Use

SSTS's computing resources have been acquired, and are allocated to groups and individuals for specific academic purposes. In particular, any of the following is considered to be illegal:

  • To share, give, sell, or otherwise provide computing resources, supplies or services to any other individual or group.
  • To inspect, alter, delete, publish, or otherwise tamper with files that you are not authorized to access.
  • To engage in any action which denies or restricts the use of computing facilities to other authorized users of those facilities.
  • To copy any proprietary software by any means.
  • To install personal software on the computers in public computer labs.

Failure to adhere to these stipulations will result in immediate termination of your account.

Food and Drink Policy

Policy

Only lidded beverages are permitted in any of the computing rooms.  No food is allowed. This is to minimize the health risks associated with high use work areas that cannot be cleaned between uses, and to protect the equipment. We request that you leave your work area tidy, and report any spills as soon as possible.  Students are encouraged to leave the facilities and wash their hands prior to eating.

Food and Drink Areas

Lounge areas (available 24/7) and tables near the Social Science Encounters eatery may also be used.
