Unauthorized use of Lehigh Computing Resources

Unauthorized use is defined as the use of any computer authorization not assigned to a user for his or her use; and/or any attempt to gain access to a computer or network system for other than legitimate, approved purposes. Each offender will be dealt with on an individual basis, and should expect suspension of computer privileges and possible disciplinary action under standard University rules for misconduct and existing judicial, disciplinary, or personnel processes. Illegal use, including the disclosure of passwords to a computer system, copyright infringement, and the knowing distribution of malicious computer software such as viruses, may be prosecuted under appropriate federal or state law. Other violations to University policy include, but are not limited to, any violation of the University policy on harassment (such as sending harassing mail to other users), as well as abuse of system resources (unnecessary output, chain letters, blocking of communication lines, etc.).
