Appendix: Institution’s Policies

E-mail and Internet Policy

Voice mail, email, and Internet usage assigned to a student's computer or telephone extensions are solely for the purpose of conducting the online English Course. Some assignments might require access to the Internet and the use of software in addition to the Microsoft Office suite of products. Only people appropriately authorized, for the online course purposes, may use the Internet or access additional software.

Internet Usage

Internet use brings the possibility of breaches to the security of confidential Institutional course information. Internet use also creates the possibility of contamination to our system via viruses or spyware. Spyware allows unauthorized people, outsiders, potential access to the institution’s passwords and other confidential information.

Removing such programs from the institution’s network requires its staff to invest time and attention that is better devoted to core chores. For this reason, and to assure the use of work time appropriately for work, we require students to run their email content through an anti-virus application before submitting it.

Additionally, under no circumstances may the institution’s computers or other electronic equipment be used to obtain, view, or reach any pornographic, or otherwise immoral, unethical, or non-school-related Internet sites. Doing so can lead to disciplinary action up to and including termination of your online course without recourse.

Email Usage at the Institution

Email is also to be used for school related purposes only. The institution’s confidential information must not be shared with outsiders at any time, without authorization. You are also not to conduct personal business using the school computer or email.

Please in mind, that as you consider forwarding non-school related emails to associates, family or friends, non-school related emails are a waste of instructional time.

Viewing pornography, or sending pornographic jokes or stories via email, is considered sexual harassment and will be addressed according to our sexual harassment policy.

Emails That Discriminate

Any emails that discriminate against students or anybody else by virtue of any protected classification including race, gender, nationality, religion, and so forth, will be dealt with according to the harassment policy. These emails are prohibited at this school. Sending or forwarding non-school emails will result in disciplinary action that may lead to course termination without recourse.

Institution’s Student Email

Keep in mind that the school owns any communication sent via email or that is stored on our school system and/ or equipment. Management and other authorized school staff have the right to access any material in your email or on your computer at any time. Please do not consider your electronic communication, storage or access to be private if it is created or stored at school.
