It may seem that there is no limit to the resources on the Internet,
but the network has a limited capacity to handle traffic. This means
the more users there are on the network, the more congested the
Network becomes. If there are too many users at any given time, the
traffic on the network grinds to a crawl. Although the Network may
slow down, it will continue to function. The following list will help
avoid "gridlock."
· Do not tie up the
Network with idle activities.
· Do not play games with others on the Network or on the Internet.
Networks are not designed for computer games. It is NOT Nintendo. Play
games on your own time and on your own equipment.
· Do not download huge files from places half a globe away. Only take
the information you want and need. The best thing to do is get into
the Internet, get what you need, and get out. Remember, there are many
students who need to use this system. When there is a wait to use a
computer, users will be limited to 2 hours and then will have to log
off
to allow other students to use the computer.
· Additionally, you must log off immediately if any staff member tells
you to do so. Occasionally the center will be reserved for a
class, and you must also log off prior to the center's closing time so
the staff will have adequate time to secure the center and leave in a
timely manner.
· The college has the right to restrict or terminate Network and
Internet access at any time for any reason. The college further has
the right to monitor Network activity in any form that it sees fit to
maintain the integrity of the Network.
· In order to best serve students, the Center my make changes in
policies and procedures without notice. |
