Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Student Email Use Policy
Access to email at SDCCD is a privilege and must be treated as such by all users of this system. Abuse of this system can be a matter of legal action or official disciplinary procedures. Range of penalty for violating this policy can be from written warning, to loss of access, to referral to appropriate SDCCD Student Deans for disciplinary action. In cases where violation severely impacts performance and/or security, SDCCD's Information Technology (IT) Department will immediately suspend the individual’s email privileges.
Email users should exercise extreme caution in using email to communicate confidential or sensitive matters and should not assume that email is private and confidential. It is especially important that users be careful in sending messages only to their intended recipient(s). The same is true for forwarding received emails.
The College respects the privacy of users. It does not normally inspect, monitor or disclose electronic messages without the user’s consent; however, users should realize the following:
- Electronic mail, whether or not created or stored on SDCCD's equipment, may be considered as a College record and be subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act or other laws or as a result of litigation.
- IT might need to observe certain transactional information in order to ensure proper functioning of the system.
- If there is a reason to believe that the account has been used in violation of SDCCD's policies and/or of the law, contents of the email may be inspected, and/or disclosed without the prior consent of the user. These actions are usually initiated by the President or Legal Counsel of the institution.
