General Information

               

                Use of computer systems:

 

All computer use is governed by the Rutgers Acceptable Use Policy which can be viewed at http://rucs.rutgers.edu/acceptable-use.html.

 

                Connection to the network:

 

Computer systems will also comply with the Standards for Management of Computer Systems at Rutgers, which can be viewed at http://rucs.rutgers.edu/host-acct-req.html.  In order to accomplish this these procedures will be followed:

 

·         Systems will not be attached to the network until they have been assigned a network address and name.  The hardware address of the system or device will be recorded.

·         Multi-user systems require an account and password for each user, and computing staff will keep usage logs for a least one month.

·         Systems, which do not require user authentication, will be the responsibility of the owner.  Systems on the network with open access will not be allowed.

 

Backups:

 

A good backup system is a necessary part of any computer operation in case of accidental or malicious loss of data.  Backups are the responsibility of the system owner unless the system is part of one of the departmental backup groups.

 

Computer Support:

 

The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology has a computer support staff that is responsible for all computer hardware, software and networking in the Department.
