Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine (NSU MD) 2024–2025 83 The privilege of using the computing and technology resources provided by NSU is not transferable or extendible by students to people or groups outside of the school and terminates when a student is no longer enrolled in NSU MD. These policies are provided to make all users aware of the responsibilities associated with efficient, ethical, and lawful use of technology resources. If a student acts unprofessionally and ignores any of the terms and conditions in the policies, privileges may be terminated, access to NSU technology resources may be denied, and appropriate academic (through the SPAC) or disciplinary (through the NSU Office of Student Affairs) action may be applicable. Accordingly, this policy establishes the expectations for students regarding the utilization of technology devices provided by NSU for educational purposes. NSU-Issued iPads and Laptop Computers All students must take personal responsibility for the security of the equipment, software, and data in their care. iPads and laptop computers provided to students are the property of NSU and, as such, will be subject to inspection or log monitoring at any time. NSU MD IT may also choose to remotely disable a student’s iPad if the device or data has been compromised, is lost or stolen, or if a student is in noncompliance with established policy and/or directives. All iPads and laptops are loaned for academic purposes, and students should understand there is no reasonable expectation of privacy concerning data or software on these devices. Theft of or damage to any device is the sole responsibility of the student, who will bear all costs for replacing the parts or purchasing a new device. The student will provide payment for the replacement or repair of the device, which will be processed between the student, NSU MD IT Office, and NSU MD Office of Student Affairs. All students will coordinate the return of their devices to the NSU MD IT Office at the end of their medical education. Failure to return the devices will result in a delay of receipt of their graduate diploma. Additional standards related to NSU-issued computing devices are as follows: • Unauthorized or unlicensed software must not be installed or loaded on laptops. Students may choose to install apps on the iPads if they are either educational-based, part of classroom exercises, or are of benefit to the learning process. No gaming software is permitted unless approved by the curriculum and NSU MD IT. • Students must ensure their device is not used by unauthorized persons. • Students must take all reasonable steps to ensure that the device is not damaged through misuse. • NSU MD IT maintains temporary “loaner” iPads and laptops, if the unit requires repair or maintenance. • All students are encouraged to regularly save all data to the network drives and a central cloud location (i.e., OneDrive, Canvas, iCloud, etc.). The NSU MD will not be responsible for any loss of data on the devices. • Devices should never be left unattended in public places (e.g., car, library, restaurant, restroom). • Students must immediately report any possible security breaches to NSU MD IT.
