Academic Computing Facilities

Academic computing facilities at Volunteer State are available to all faculty, staff, and currently enrolled students. It is the responsibility of Academic Computing Services to provide an environment for all users to accomplish their necessary tasks and at the same time provide security for all computer systems. All Academic Computing users will be governed by all federal, state, and Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) laws and policies, which include (but are not limited to) the Tennessee Computer Crimes Act of 1983 (see VSCC Policy VII:01:08) and the General Policy on Student Conduct and Disciplinary Sanctions ( TBR Policy 3.02.00.01). In addition, regulations defining the user's responsibilities towards the use of Academic Computing resources are outlined in the Student Handbook.
