ENC encourages the college community of faculty, staff, students and college guests to fully utilize the computing resources at ENC in a manner consistent with the mission of the college. Acceptable use also means that while utilizing computer resources for administrative, education, and research purposes, the legal protection of copyrights and licenses will be respected.  

While the potential for appropriate use of ENC’s computing resources abounds, there are however aspects of use that can be problematic both for the individual and the institution.  

Unacceptable use of ENC’s computing resources can fall into three different categories: unreasonable, unethical and illegal. These categories are not necessarily mutually exclusive nor do they create situations which are equally problematic. All users are asked, however, to consider the following categories so that the resources may be accessed efficiently and appropriately.
