Email services are provided by NGU and should be used to support the mission and purposes of the University.
- Email services may be used for incidental personal purposes provided such use does not:
- Directly or indirectly interfere with the operations or email services of the University.
- Burden the University with noticeable incremental cost.
- Interfere with the email user’s employment or other obligations to the University.
- Students are not permitted to send email solicitations and must not forward chain letters to any person, on or off campus, except to forward a message to IT Services.
- Only authorized employees may send broadcast email messages. Unauthorized users are specifically prohibited from using the University’s address book to harvest email addresses for bulk email purposes. Requests to send broadcast email messages may be submitted to Student Services.
- Students should be aware of the following:
- Email is less private than users may anticipate.
- Deleted email may persist on backup facilities and thus be subject to disclosure under state and federal law.
- Email stored on University equipment, whether or not created on University equipment, constitutes a University record subject to disclosure.
- The University cannot protect users from receiving all emails they may find offensive.
- Students are strongly encouraged to use the same personal and professional courtesies and considerations in email as they would in other forms of communication.
