Access to the UIS campus network is a privilege granted to employees, students, and guests who agree to comply with the provisions of this policy. Everyone using the campus network is responsible for using it in an appropriate, ethical and lawful manner.
All users must comply with the following:
ITS provides students and employees with a campus user account (NetID) which allows access to campus services such as mail and Canvas, as well as to cloud services such as Box, Google Apps, and Office 365.
Phishing is when suspicious links are embedded in email messages, texts, or websites that might look legitimate at first glance. Those behind the attacks hope you will take the bait and click so they can try illegal tactics to steal your information.
In some instances, such as certain virus infections, the only software repair option available for your computer may be to reformat the hard drive. Reformatting the hard drive means completely erasing all files and data on your computer and performing a clean install of the operating system.
