Parent Handbook 2010–2011 - Berklee College of Music

Disregarding the Acceptable Use Policy may lead to disciplinary action on the
part of the college. Furthermore, the policy complies with state and federal laws
and regulations regulating use of technology, and certain violations may lead to
prosecution from individuals and/or local, state, and federal law enforcement
agencies. Students must read and understand this policy before using the
college’s technology services.
If students have any questions about Berklee’s Acceptable Use Policy, it is their
responsibility to contact the Student Computer Support Center for clarification.
Internet Access
On Campus
Access to the internet from any computer in a Berklee facility is free and
unlimited. Students can access the internet via Berklee’s wireless network. All
residence hall rooms are equipped with one internet port per bed. Internet
access using this port is included in the housing fee.
Off Campus
To access the internet from off-campus, students must make arrangements
with an internet service provider (ISP) at their own expense.
Maintenance
To ensure the reliability of Berklee’s technologies, IT reserves a period of time
for maintenance every week from 6:00 p.m. Thursday through 6:00 a.m. Friday.
Additional maintenance may occur on other nights. During maintenance
periods, some technology services may be unavailable to the Berklee
community. All planned maintenance outages will be announced in advance at
8999.berklee.net.
Email (yourname@berklee.net)
The naming convention for student email accounts uses the first initial of the
first name followed by the last name. For example, Eleanor O. Hirsch’s email
address would be ehirsch@berklee.net. In the event that a username has
already been assigned to another member of the Berklee community, the
student’s middle initial or a digit may be used. Using the previous example,
Elmer D. Hirsch’s email address would be edhirsch@berklee.net or
ehirsch1@berklee.net.
My.berklee.net
All students registered at Berklee have access to the college’s portal at
my.berklee.net. This collection of services includes email, a calendar,
communication tools, and web space. Students can also search for courses and
view their grades online through the college’s portal.
My.berklee.net includes access to both a personal calendar and the Berklee
academic calendar. The calendar can be used to track appointments, schedule
meetings with other my.berklee.net users, and view important dates of the
Berklee year.
