ALL ACADEMICS AND STAFF AT UCSD (excluding UCSD Healthcare)

SUBJECT:  New Security Messages on StudentLink

At the request of the Administrative Computing and Telecommunications Policy Committee and with assistance from Internal Audit a new online form will be added to StudentLink for Faculty and Staff access on September 9, 2002. This form is titled 'UCSD Information Systems Rights and Responsibilities' and is currently active on other Link Family products. This form will appear on a periodic basis, currently set at six months immediately after you have logged on. The purpose is to inform you about issues regarding security, data access rights and your responsibilities when using computer information systems at UCSD. To accomplish this you will be asked to answer three questions. Each question can be answered True or False. Once you have answered the questions correctly you will be required to indicate your acceptance of the following:

Users are responsible for:

* Maintaining the security, integrity, and confidentiality of the systems and data to which they are permitted access.
* Respecting the rights of other users.
* Observing all relevant laws, regulations, and contractual obligations.

Your access to the University's computing, networking, and information resources is provided in support of the University's mission of teaching, research, and public service. This access is a privilege, which carries with it certain responsibilities. Users are responsible for maintaining the security of the systems, respecting the rights of others, and observing all relevant laws. Misuse of computing, networking or information resources may result in the loss of computing privileges and/or disciplinary action. Additionally, misuse can be prosecuted under applicable statutes.
