ITSS Policies

Policy for Data Destruction

It is the policy of CSUB Information Technology Services Support to remove and/or destroy all institutional data from any computer storage device prior to redeployment or equipment survey.

The primary reason for this is a concern about confidential, high risk data and other software programs that may be on the computers. All computers released by campus departments must pass through an ITSS standard disk wiping process before they can be redeployed, sold, donated or disposed of via the survey process.

Computer Lab Policies

Users of this facility can assist in keeping the equipment in working order, and help provide a pleasant working environment, by following these few courtesies:

• Food or beverages are NOT allowed in the labs at any time.
• Computer Lab A is unavailable for class walk-in use. It is an open access facility for INDIVIDUAL students only. Group use must be scheduled in Computer Labs B, C, D, or E.
• Computer Labs B, C, D, and E are not available for open access (walk-in) use. The facilities are dedicated for scheduled access only.
• The equipment is available for CSU Bakersfield course and research related activities only. The facilities are for the exclusive use of faculty and currently enrolled students of CSU Bakersfield. No other organization or individual, whether public or private may use this equipment. ID cards will be checked on a random basis.

Any person found making or using illegal software in campus facilities will have all user privileges revoked and the illegal disks will be confiscated. Other disciplinary action may also result.

• Please do not try to fix malfunctioning equipment. Notify a Student Consultant (in Library Computer A, phone 2440) of the problem you are experiencing.

• Do not bang on the computer keyboard. A light touch will prevent damage to the keyboard.
• Game playing, other than those assigned specifically for course work, is not allowed at anytime.
• The use of peripheral equipment, other than state installed hardware, is strictly forbidden at any time as well as tampering with the software settings.
