PSC reserves the right to limit, restrict and/or deny computing privileges and access to its information resources to those who violate the Acceptable Use Policy. Use is a privilege and not a right, and must be treated as such by all users.

Unacceptable use include, but are not limited to: any use which violates U.S. or state laws, including copyright laws; interfering with, harassing, or disrupting other users; making unauthorized entry into this or other computer or communication systems; initiating or encouraging the promulgation of chain letters, spam mail and other types of broadcast messages; subverting or obstructing a computer network by introducing a virus; supplying false or misleading information to access computer or network systems; port scanning; network sniffing; attempting to gain unauthorized access to data, computers, or networks; making copies of licensed software or other copyrighted material; sending crippling numbers of files or traffic across the network; participating in harassment, forgery, pornography, obscenity, pyramid schemes, or sound recording piracy; extensive use for private or personal business; or profit enterprises.
