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:
