The University has strict regulations about the use of computing facilities, which all users are required to accept before they are assigned a login name. They cover authorisation, copyright and defamation. Disciplinary procedures are in place to deal with breaches of these regulations. The regulations incorporate conditions for acceptable use of the national academic IT network, JANET.
