I understand that it is my responsibility to maintain adequate and current virus protection software on my computer and/or connected device. It is also my responsibility to keep my connected device up-to-date on any security updates released by my operating system vendor. Failure to do so could result in my being removed from the JCC wireless system. I will not introduce any shared drives, data, or devices to the network maintained by JCC. I will not add, change, delete or modify in any way the networking configuration installed on my computer system which was setup by Jefferson Community College.

If the wireless device is altered in any way which affects Jefferson Community College, I shall reimburse Jefferson Community College the cost to repair any damages caused to their network. Jefferson Community College reserves the right to place a hold on my student account to recover anycosts which may be incurred to repair any such damages.

Jefferson Community College reserves the right to revoke this access at any time deemed appropriate. This network configuration shall be removed within 24 hours of Jefferson Community College’s request, or within 24 hours of my no longer being enrolled or employed at JCC.
