Policies
All Support Policies of the Computer Services Department are located here.
Support Policy
In order to server faculty and staff more effectively Western has implemented an Information Technology Support Policy. This policy is meant to clarify and communicate the services Computer Services is able to provide to the campus community at large.
Supported Computing Hardware
Computer Services only supports hardware that is owned by the College and used for College business and has been approved via the Hardware/Software Requisition process (HSR). Hardware which falls within the standard categories below must be selected from the approved models. If your hardware is not listed and/or does not fall within a category listed below, contact Computer Service.
Acceptable Use Policy
Access to computing and networking resources is a privilege to which all Western State College faculty, staff, and students are entitled. Certain responsibilities accompany that privilege; understanding them is important for all computer users.
Password Security
Your password is the primary mechanism for assuring the privacy of your computing activity and preventing others from using your computer account for disruptive, offensive, or illegal activities. Passwords address our primary concern: maintaining the integrity of your account while protecting Western's computer environment, as well as you, from abuse. This document is meant to clarify our reasoning and our methods for governing passwords, describe some procedures that Western has instituted to help you protect your computing account from unauthorized use, and suggest good practices.
Campus workstation screen locking policy
To decrease the exposure of information to unauthorized access, campus computers are subject to a mandatory screen lock.
