Rules for Users of RU's Computer Network

When students register at RU, they at the same time agree to follow the school's rules concerning its computer network. RU's IT department supervises and is responsible for all of the school's technical and computer equipment. In addition to RU's own rules, students also need to abide by the rules of Isnet and Rhnet (www.rhnet.is). Users of RU's network should therefore familiarise themselves with those rules.

• All students have access to RU's computer rooms as long as the rooms are not being used for teaching.
• Students are responsible for their user name and its use. Students may not give their access information to a third party.
• To ensure that RU's rules regarding computer equipment are followed, the school reserves the right to view and delete data and software stored on students' spaces within the network.
• Copyrighted or other illegal material may not be sent, downloaded, or stored.
• RU's internet connection may not be used to exchange illegal data (peer-to-peer), for example, music and films.
• No software may be installed on school computers or their configuration altered without permission from the IT Department.
• Students are not allowed to bring food or beverages inside computer rooms.
• If students are not registered for studies, or if they quit their studies during the school year, they lose their user name a month after the first day of school.

Violations of these rules can lead to users being blocked from accessing RU's network. In cases where violations of these rules are severe or repeated, the individuals concerned may be expelled from RU. Students should familiarise themselves with rules set by the school regarding conduct within computer rooms. All further information is available on RU's Web site.
