REMOTE ACCESS
LaGrange College provides very limited direct telephone dialup access to the Campus Network
for College business. This service was created for technical and administrative access to the
Network not available through a regular Internet connection, and is not intended to provide
general Internet access to members of the LaGrange College community. In order to be granted
dialup access to the Campus Network, a user must submit a request to the IITR via their
department chair/supervisor. The request should indicate the period of time for which this access
is to be granted and indicate how this access is consistent with the technical and/or
administrative purpose of the dialup resource. For regular dialup needs, service through a
commercial Internet Service Provider is recommended.
DATA SECURITY
Within institutional priorities and financial capabilities, LaGrange College provides reasonable
security against unauthorized intrusion and damage to data, files, and messages stored on its
computer systems. The College maintains facilities for archiving and retrieving data stored in
user accounts. If a user needs to recover data after an accidental loss, then Information
Technology staff should be contacted, and every reasonable attempt will be made to recover the
lost or corrupted data. Neither the College nor any Information Technology staff can be held
accountable for unauthorized access by other users, nor can they guarantee data protection in the
event of media failure, fire, criminal acts, or natural disaster. Backing up critical files regularly
is recommended.
INFORMATION RESOURCE USE BY GUESTS AND ALUMNI
Use of physical facilities for information technology by guests (individuals not currently
enrolled as students or currently employed as faculty or staff members of LaGrange College) and
alumni is allowed only within Frank and Laura Lewis Library and under the supervision of
library staff. Additionally, such access is allowed only when existing resources are not being
fully utilized by LaGrange College students, faculty, or staff. The use of technological resources
may be extended to alumni and friends of LaGrange College without the imposition of a ―user
fee.‖ A ―per printed page‖ user fee established by Lewis Library will be assessed for use of
College printing resources.
USER AWARENESS
Because information technologies change at so rapid a rate, updates to the Responsible Use
Policy may be made between printings of College publications. It is the responsibility of the user
to keep informed of the changes in this policy, which will be available on a LaGrange College
Web site (http://panther.lagrange.edu).
