acceptable use policies  

Definition

  • Acceptable use policies (AUPs) are sets of behavioral expectations or rules adopted by college and university officials that are designed to regulate the conduct of those who use institutionally provided computer resources. At the same time, many businesses and K-12 school systems have developed such rules and policies to regulate usage, to protect the integrity of their networks, and to avoid legal problems.
