Computing Policy for Brown University

The following documents are official policies of Brown University that are related to computing issues. They have been adopted to ensure an equitable, appropriate, and legal use of Brown resources. You are therefore responsible for having reviewed the listed policies and for complying with their requirements. Violation of a computing-related policy may result in disciplinary action, up to and including suspension or termination.

Should the need arise to have a policy published before the process is complete, the document will be published as an interim policy while the process is completed.
