IT Regulations

Kellogg College IT Regulations

These rules relate to the use of computers and other devices connecting to the College Network throughout the College Site, including Offices, Common Spaces, and Accommodation.

These rules are made by the IT Committee, and confirmed by Governing Body.

1. All use of computers within the University and College is governed by the IT regulations made from time to time by the University’s ITCT Committee (and its successors). They are online at: https://governance.admin.ox.ac.uk/legislation/it-regulations-1-of-2002
2. In order to give effect to those regulations, and for the safety of the College network, no one may connect any computer or other device to the College Network without explicit permission from the College.
3. Those connecting computers to the College network must take all reasonable steps to ensure that such computers are secured against unauthorised access, virus attack, participation in ‘denial of service attacks’ etc. They must allow sufficient access to enable the College to satisfy itself of this.
4. For the reasons given in the University IT regulations, access to the network may be barred for any computer or user appearing to pose a danger to the security or integrity of any system or network, until such time as the problem has been remedied to the satisfaction of the College (and, where necessary, University IT Services).
5. No one may, without written authority, interfere with any of the fixed network cabling, nor attempt to gain access to those parts of the network supporting site security functions (such as door locks, CCTV, etc.).
6. In the IT regulations and in these rules, the proper authority for College decisions is the President of Kellogg College, with responsibility normally delegated to the IT Fellow, and most matters further delegated to the IT Officer.
7. Breaches of these rules will be dealt with using the College’s disciplinary procedures.
