• The residential network (in-room connections) may not be used to provide Internet access to anyone outside of the University community or any purposes other than those that are in direct support of the academic mission of the University.
• The University-specific or commercially obtained network resources may not be retransmitted outside of the University community.
• The residential network is a shared resource. Thus, network use or applications which inhibit or interfere with the use of the network by others are not permitted.
• Applications which use an unusually high portion of the bandwidth for extended periods of time, thus inhibiting the use of the network by others by their very nature, are not permitted. (This includes networked computer games).
• Forgery or other misrepresentation of one's identity via electronic or any other form of communication is a fundamental standard violation. Prosecution under State and Federal laws may also apply.
• Users may not pick their own DNS names or IP Addresses. It is also prohibited to broadcast any routing protocol information or operate BOOTP/DHCP programs in any mode other than client. Failure to abide will result in the user’s room being disabled for the balance of the semester.
• Residential users continue to be bound by Fairleigh Dickinson’s Acceptable Use Policy and all statutes therein.
• Fairleigh Dickinson University is not responsible for the loss of any data on a user’s personal computer, nor of the integrity of the data on the system. It is the responsibility of the user to insure that proper backup procedures are performed.
  

While the Department of Computing Services actively searches for virus programs on the network, it is not responsible for viruses transmitted from the Network and it is the responsibility of the user to insure that his/her computer is properly protected from any viruses.
