Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

The NUS IT Acceptable Use Policy prescribes the appropriate behaviour and use of IT Resources by students, faculty, staff and authorised users in an effective, ethical and lawful manner. It sets out the parameters of permitted use of the IT Resources and is in addition to any other policies that govern the use of the IT Resources.  


This Policy applies to the use of the IT Resources owned, controlled or managed by the University, such as computer accounts, personal computers, servers, workstations, disk storage, software, administrative and academic applications, email, public folders, newsgroups, online discussion forums, dialup, network, Internet and databases, etc.


All users who have been granted access to the IT Resources (‘Users’), including but not limited to the students, faculty, staff and alumni of the University, are to comply with this Policy. Contractors, consultants, vendors and contract workers (including their employees, agents and other authorised representatives) (‘Contingent Workers’) hired by a staff or faculty of the University (‘Hiring Manager’) are also to comply with this Policy
