Non-Supported Computing and Network Devices

Purpose:

This policy established guidelines for support for non-recommended computing and network devices.

 

 

 

Statement:

University's Information Technologies does not support non-recommended computing and network devices.

 

 

 

Description:

The College will not provide any level of support for non-recommended computing and network devices. 
 
There are a number of devices that may be connected to the campus network without University intervention.  In such instances, the University reserves the right to deny access to such devices if they potentially may compromise the overall integrity of the University's network and common computing environment.
 

 

 

 

Additional Information:

This policy also includes (but is not limited to) game consoles and other entertainment devices.
 
Game consoles, (i.e. as Xbox and Playstation) do not have a web browser. Therefore, they require an IT personnel to register them manually on the network.  Additionally, they run a non-standard operating system which is an additional support issue and could lead to potential network vulnerabilities.
