Ethical Practices Agreement for Work-Study Students
As a condition of my employment in one or more administrative
offices of the College, I agree to abide by the following
policies and practices:
1. Data on DWC students is confidential. In particular, the
student's Social Security account number must be protected
due to its potential use in scams and other activities that
are detrimental to the student. I will not reveal any
information about individual students to any outside the
department for which I am working, except as instructed to
do so by my supervisor. I further acknowledge that each
student can specify greater restrictions on personal data
which override general policies. I will not use the
College's computers to browse through any data or look up
information for my own purposes.
2. I will not leave screens or printouts in such a state as to
allow viewing of data by unauthorized people. I will not
remove any magnetic storage media (diskettes, tapes, etc.)
from the department except when bringing it to another
department under the direction of my supervisor. If I am
sent to retrieve output from a shared printer, I will take
care to read only headers of the printouts for the purpose
of identifying which printouts belong to my department. I
will not discard any documents or erase any files except as
directed to do so by my supervisor.
3. If assigned to do administrative work on a computer, I will
use the computer only for such work. I agree that any
software that I would like to load onto an administrative
computer must be reviewed by my supervisor and by the
Director of the Computer Center. When entering data, I will
accurately enter only the data provided, making no
deliberate errors.
4. If I am given a password for a user account on a computer, I
agree to keep the password confidential within the
department for which I am working and not to reveal it to
anyone. I will not allow usage of my department's programs
or data by anyone except those people designated by my
supervisor as being permitted to use them. All questions
regarding revealing data to other departments or outside
agencies shall be referred to a permanent staff member of my
department.
5. I will not use electronic mail on administrative computers
except as directed to do so by my supervisor. If I should
receive an unexpected mail message, I will bring it to the
attention of a permanent staff member of my department.
I have read and understood the above, and understand that the
above will be enforced by College regulations and may be
enforced by State and Federal law as well.

Ethical Practices Agreement
1. I will not add, remove, or change any files used by the
operating system or by the user community at large except as
directed to do so by the Director of the Computer Center.
(The term "change any files" includes changing of header
information such as access permissions.)
2. I will not start or stop any processes that are part of the
default state of operation, nor shut down the computer,
except as directed to do so by the Director of the Computer
Center.
3. I will not read any electronic mail messages without the
consent of the addressee. (When a message is addressed to
several recipients, the consent of any one addressee is
sufficient.)
4. I will not destroy any files on a tape or removable disk,
other than my own personal files, except as directed to do so
by the Director of the Computer Center.
5. I will not create new user accounts nor expand the privileges
or quotas of an existing user account, except as directed to
do so by the Director of the Computer Center.
6. I will not reveal the password on any user account, including
my own, to anyone except as directed to do so by the Director
of the Computer Center.
I agree to abide by the above rules as a condition of holding
higher-than -normal privileges on one or more of the College's
computers. I acknowledge that College, State, or Federal
penalties may apply to violations of the above.
