files/content not directly related to your research or studies.

Additional General Information
The computing and communications facilities and services provided UBC
are primarily intended for teaching, research, and administrative
purposes. Their use is governed by all applicable University policies,
including the Human Rights, Sexual Harassment, Patents and Licensing
and Student Discipline policies, as well as by all applicable Canadian
federal, provincial and local laws and statutes, including the Criminal
Code of Canada, the B.C. Civil Rights Protection Act, the B.C. Freedom
of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the B.C. Human Rights
Act. These are supplemented by the acceptable use policies established
by those networks to which UBC's campus network is interconnected, the
internet, which includes, for example, BCNET and CANET.
The user bears the primary responsibility for the material that he or
she chooses to access, send or display. The computer facilities may not
be used in any manner which contravenes the above policies, laws or
statutes.
Those who do not adhere to these guidelines will have the inappropriate material deleted and
will be subject to suspension of computing privileges.
By using your University-provided computer account (Netinfo,
Interchange or a departmental account), you agree implicitly to
legitimate and socially acceptable conduct. This conduct is detailed in
the
University's Guidelines on the Responsible Use of Information
Technology Facilities and Services.
Not only are you responsible for what you do, you are responsible
for what others may do if they are able to gain access to your computer
over the network. It is important that you make sure the operating
system on your computer is secure against intruders who might, for
example, use it to store and distribute illegal software.
