Acceptable Use of Technology
The use of MSU technology services is a privilege, and it is the responsibility of each user to utilize these services appropriately.
Morehead State University provides network connection services in the residence halls and all University-owned facilities.
Use of this service is a privilege, and it is the responsibility of each user to utilize these services appropriately. By connecting MSU's Wifi, users are bound to and required to adhere to all aspects of the Technology Resource Acceptable Use (PG-55) policy and any university, city, county, state and federal regulations. In addition, MSU ResNet users must adhere to the following terms of acceptable use.

- Users must not illegally download or share copyrighted movies, music, software, or games.
- As the intent of MSU's Wifi is to provide users with access to outside services, users will not attempt to run any unauthorized services.
- Users will not attempt to circumvent the MSU Wifi firewall or any other established network services.
- Users will not modify or tamper with any MSU Wifi network wiring, hardware, or jacks.
- Users are responsible for all network traffic originating from their host.
- Users are prohibited from installing personal routers (wired or wireless) to the network. Routers may disrupt the network and introduce unnecessary security risks for other residence hall students.
