Rensselaer's Guidelines for Computer Use

ACS offers guidelines for appropriate use of Rensselaer's computers and network whether on or off campus.

The Commission on Electronic Citizenship site explains Rensselaer's policy on electronic citizenship governing the use of all computing and network facilities at Rensselaer.

All members of the Rensselaer community sign a conditions of use statement when they receive an RCS account or a telecommunications code.

The brochure A Guide to Computing Etiquette at Rensselaer addresses some of the issues pertaining to users of the Rensselaer Computing System expanding on some rules that are part of the conditions of use.

Ethics Quiz

To test your knowledge and understanding of Rensselaer's Policy on Electronic Citizenship, we strongly suggest you take our online quiz which consists of 10 multiple choice questions. Before you begin, you will be prompted for your RCS userID and password. A record of your participation and your grade (pass/fail) will be kept in our database.

At the end of the quiz, you will be able to send us feedback. We are especially interesting in knowing if the quiz helped you to better understand Rensselaer's policy.

If you did not pass, feel free to take the quiz again.

We are hoping to make this quiz mandatory for all new users in the fall of 2001.
