CSUH Policy on World Wide Web Practices


CSUH welcomes your interest in the World Wide Web (WWW). Your efforts will help make our WEB a valuable information resource for the entire University community. The following guidelines apply to resource allocations for WWW access and services at CSUH.


Individual Students
* Individual students are allowed to create home pages in their 2 Mb Internet (Haywire) accounts.
* Student home pages will NOT be linked to the main CSUH home pages.
* Academic Computing will provide no direct support to students for developing home pages.
* Appropriate use policies for campus computer accounts apply to home pages, including policies regarding commercial use, copyright, and harassment.

Student Organizations
* Recognized student organizations are allowed up to 2 Mb of storage on the official CSUH WEB server for home pages. If more space is required, the organization should acquire its own server.
* The Office of Student Life is responsible for the content of student organization home pages.
* The CSUH home page, or a subhome page, will have a pointer to "Student Organizations." The page listing student organizations will have a disclaimer on it.

Administrative and Academic Departments & Units
* Departments or Units are allowed up to 10 Mb of storage on the official CSUH WEB server for home pages. If more space is required, the department should acquire its own server.
