Media Center Internet Use Contract

By using Internet Access in the Library/Media Center you agree to the following terms and conditions:

Acceptable Use Policy:
The purpose of Internet access in the Library Media Center is to provide access to unique resources and the opportunity for collaborative work. The use of this access must be in support of education and academic research and consistent with the educational objectives of Boulder High School (BHS) and the Boulder Valley School District (BVSD). Publication, ownership or transmission of any material in violation of any U.S. or state regulation is prohibited. All communication must use appropiate language and be polite. Do not swear, use profanity, vulgarities, or harass other users.

Internet activities that are permitted by the acceptable use policy:

Investigation of and communication about topics being studied in school.
Investigation of and communication about opportunities outside school related or community service, employment or further education.

Internet activities that are NOT permitted by the acceptable use policy:

Searching, viewing or retrieving materials that are not related to school work, community service, employment, or further education (thus, searching or viewing sexually explicit, profane, or illegal materials is not permitted).
Copying, saving or redistributing copyrighted material (users should assume that all material is copyrighted unless explicitly noted).
Subscription to any services or ordering of any goods or sevices.
Sharing of your home address, phone number or other information.

Using the network in such a way to disrupt the use of the network by other users (e.g. sending mass e-mail).
Any activity that violates a school rule or a local, state or federal law.

Access to the Internet through the Media Center computers is a privilege, not a right, and violation of this contract may result in loss of all BVSD and Boulder High privileges as well as include penalties up to and including suspension.
