Internet/Computer Acceptable Use Policy
IVVC makes every effort to insure the safety of the students by installing firewalls and other appropriate safeguards.
1. The use of the computers, software, Internet, and other related services is a privilege, not a right.
2. It is the student’s responsibility to treat the equipment with care and to report instances of abuse or misuse to the appropriate authority as soon as the student becomes aware of them.
3. If a student vandalizes or otherwise deliberately damages any of the hardware and/or software anywhere within Indian Valley Vocational Center, the student and/or parent/guardian is responsible for paying for repairs and/or replacement of the damaged items up to and including the cost of replacing the computer, its software, and professional services.
