Policies & Procedures

Your membership in the University community brings with it access to a rich set of information services. With this access comes the obligation to use the services in a responsible way. You must keep your information secure and respect the integrity of the service provided by ANU. Put simply, you should not use the information services in a way that adversely affects or disadvantages your colleagues or the University.

These responsibilities are codified in a more formal way through a set of University policies and procedures. It is intended that you read and accept these before you are given access to the services.
