after consulting with the user community. LaGrange College computing
resources and associated user accounts are to be used only for the
College activities for which they are assigned or intended. The
computing systems are not to be used for any non-college related
commercial purpose, public or private, either for profit or non-profit.
Unless placed in public domain by its owners, software programs are

USER ACCOUNTS
Many technology resources at LaGrange College are accessed through
user accounts. No user accounts should be used to execute computer
software or programs or attempt to gain access to resources other than
software, programs or resources specifically granted and offered for use
by LaGrange College. All users are responsible for both the protection
of their account passwords and the data stored in their user accounts.
Sharing a password is prohibited. Users must change their password
periodically to help prevent unauthorized access of their user account.
When working on computers that are in general access areas
(laboratories and public access), users must log off or lock the computer
before leaving to protect the security of their data and the network..
Leaving the web-based email page (Outlook Web-Client) open on an
accessible computer, especially outside of campus, leaves the account
available to anyone who passes by, and allows the changing of the user’s
password giving the passerby access to the LaGrange College Network.
Before leaving a computer, users must log off the web-based email. If a
student becomes locked out of their account or for other reasons needs
to have their password reset, they must make the request in person to an
Information Technology staff member and present a valid LaGrange
College ID. Any suspected unauthorized access of a user’s account
should be reported immediately to the Executive Director of
Instructional & Information Technology or another College authority.
User accounts will be deactivated when the user’s affiliation with the
College is terminated and all files and other data will be removed from
those accounts.
