definitions of computing terms as used in this document may be found in Louisiana R.S. 14:73.1.
2. Users may use only the computer User Account(s) provided to them and will take the responsibility to protect their account from unauthorized access by other individuals.
This regulation is primarily intended for the protection of the account and of the associated data. If a user becomes aware of attempts to violate or bypass these security
mechanisms, they are obligated to report such attempts to the Office of Information Technology. (See LA R.S. 14:73.4 and R.S. 14:73.5)
3. Users will respect the privacy of information stored using LSUE's computing facilities. Users may not acquire or modify, in any way, information that they are not explicitly

modify, or transfer any such materials that they did not create, without the express consent of the original author or copyright holder. Users may not use LSUE computing
facilities or equipment to violate the terms of any software license agreement, or any applicable local, state or federal laws. (See U.S. Copyright Act as Amended, §117.

8. Sensitive data may not be used in a context not explicitly authorized. (See the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act - FERPA)
