Rules of use

Students are reminded that these facilities are provided for academic purposes and that as such, they should be used to work and study. If your use is not for either of these purposes and that by your activity you are preventing other users’ legitimate use, then you may be asked to free up the facility in question.

Users are required to observe the IT Services code of conduct. Use of the IT facilities at Coventry University means users are assumed to have agreed to abide by the code and ignorance of the content of the code will not be an acceptable defence. Non-compliance with this code of conduct can result in the suspension of your computing account and referral to the Dean of your Faculty or School (or manager if you are a member of staff) for possible disciplinary action. Use of the facilities for any illegal purposes will be referred to the authorities immediately.
