TELECOMMUNICATION DEVICES
RESPONSIBLE USE OF TECHNOLOGY
The use and possession of pagers, telephones, two-way radio devices, personal digital
assistants, etc. by Student Pharmacists are allowed, however, the use of these items must not
disturb the learning environment. While in the classrooms, labs, or other designated learning
environments all electronic communication devices must be turned off. Students who fail to
observe these stipulations will be subject to confiscation of the device by faculty or subject to
disciplinary action through the appropriate procedures of the School of Pharmacy.
COMPUTERS
Access to computing resources at the UMES School of Pharmacy is a privilege, not a right. This
access is granted with restrictions and responsibilities for use. Violations of the rules governing
the use of UMES computing resources may subject the violator to loss of access privileges,
disciplinary action, and/or other action as deemed appropriate by the university. UMES's
computing resources, including Internet access and e-mail accounts, are provided to support
the university's education, business, and research missions. Routine personal usage of these
resources may be permissible if, in the determination of the university, such use does not
interfere with the university's Mission or preempt normal business/educational activity, does
not impede employee productivity, does not interfere with or negatively impact any other
person's or entity's rights and work/learning environment, does not conflict with any rule or
law, and does not consume more than a trivial amount of resources. Use of the technological
resources of the School of Pharmacy, including, but not limited to, computer hardware,
computer software, Internet access, and e-mail accounts, is subject to the UMES Responsible
Use of Technology Policy as described briefly below (and in full in the UMES Student
Handbook). Students should also be aware that only the School’s Network Administrator or the
manufacturer of the computer equipment in use in the School or provided to the student by
the School are authorized to repair said equipment.
SUMMARY OF UMES RESPONSIBLE COMPUTING POLICY
1. Account sharing is prohibited. You are responsible for all activity conducted within your
account. Do not share your account information or password with anyone else. If you
fail to safeguard your account information and/or engage in unauthorized account
sharing, you may be subject to disciplinary action.
2. Use of UMES computing resources must be in accordance with UMES policies and
codes of conduct. Files controlled by individual users are considered private. The ability
to read, alter, or copy a file does not imply permission is granted to others to do so. The
university reserves the right to access and/or remove any files in violation of university
policies. The ability to connect to or make use of other systems through the network
does not imply the right to do so unless properly authorized by the owners of these
systems. To do so without proper authorization will result in disciplinary action.
