Privacy, security, and usage rules

1. What security and privacy policies are in place to protect student information from identity theft?
No matter what your affiliation with the campus, your personal information resides on at least one campus computer system. The campus minimizes the number of systems on which personal information resides and mandates a high level of security on these systems. You will be notified in the event that your information is obtained via a security breach. Learn more about identity theft at security.ucdavis.edu/id_theft.cfm.

2. Is network bandwidth limited for peer-to-peer software, gaming, Web cams, or other programs requiring high levels of network resources?
Students are discouraged from using bandwidth excessively in order not to slow down the network for other students, but normal network use is not restricted.

3. Is there a campus code of behavior about using computer resources?
You are expected to be familiar and compliant with the campus Acceptable Use Policy, which can be seen at manuals.ucdavis.edu/ppm/310/310-23.htm.
