CMOP 5010 - Acceptable Use Policy for the Internet and the KVCC Computer Network
Administrative Network Access Rights
All new employees are granted network access and an email account. Their accounts are automatically created when the new employee is added to the administrative system by Human Resources. The automated process creates the accounts using the employee's legal name listed on their W4 Employee form. The employee's supervisor may request additional network access from the director of network services. The IT staff confirms the information from Human Resources and verifies that a VIP portal account has been created. The IT staff contacts the supervisor when the employee's network access has been created. An orientation by IT staff is provided to the new employee about security issues and password protection.

E-Mail Retention
The Kalamazoo Valley Community College e-mail system is configured to automatically delete all opened and unopened e-mail after 150 days.
Hardware Acquisition
Hardware Acquisition is handled through the centralized Purchasing Department for all areas of the institution. All hardware purchases are submitted to purchasing staff and are reviewed by IT managers for final approval prior to issuing a purchase order.
Network Storage Limit
KVCC makes available network storage space for the college community. This disk storage, part of our backup procedure, is provided to students, faculty and staff to save important curriculum and work-related documents. KVCC cannot provide an infinite amount of disk storage space; therefore, each individual is limited to 5 Gbytes. Files and folders in a user’s network home folder (“O” drive) in excess of that limit will be subject to deletion.
