The Information Technology Branch Directorate reserves the right to amend these Usage Policies by taking possible legal developments into consideration.

I. Laboratory Use:

Information Technology laboratories are intended for the use of Boğaziçi University students only. Individuals who are not BU students may not use these laboratories. Login to laboratory computers is carried out using the BU-Mail account (e.g. ad.soyad@bogazici.edu.tr / ad.soyad@std.bogazici.edu.tr) obtained from the Information Technology Department. When you finish working, you must leave the computer by performing a LOG OFF.

Why do I need to LOG OFF?

Each user logs into the computer with their own email account. User login and logout times in the laboratories are recorded by the Information Technology Branch Directorate. During the time you are logged in, you are responsible for all actions performed on that computer. Actions that compromise security, such as sending harmful emails or attempting to attack another system, will be attributed to the person using that computer at the time.
