Question 4.10 Details

What security measures are provided by the institution's IT department and what will be the student's responsibility (for example, antivirus software)?

With personal computers now being used for everything from online course registration to banking, it is critical to keep your computer up-to-date to prevent potential data loss. Institutions often provide software or services to assist in securing your computer. Questions to ask include:

  • Is there a campus site license for antivirus and spyware prevention software?
  • What support services are available if my computer gets compromised?
  • Is there a campus computer security website?
