Internet Policy – KCC

In an attempt to provide a reasonably safe internet browsing experience for all students, filtered and monitored internet service is provided in the residence hall for residents. Internet service typically provided on mobile phones, e-readers, laptops, etc… is acceptable. However, providing internet service to others through these or similar devices is prohibited. Residents may seek exemptions to this policy through the dean of students.

The school reserves the right to check the online history of sites visited. If it is determined that the student is spending time at sites deemed to be unwholesome or pornographic, the student development committee will be called upon to investigate and implement a course of action to correct the problem. The online history of the student may be checked at the student’s personal computer or remotely.

The school reserves the right to block individual sites based upon overall inappropriate tone and/or reputation. Requests to block/unblock sites may be presented to an internet safety committee appointed by the president which will review the request and make a recommendation to the IT personnel.

Residents, who are not students, may request permission from the facilities coordinator to contract additional internet service on their own. These residents may not share this service with resident students for any reason without permission from the dean of students.

The downloading of pirated software, music, and movies is not only unethical – it is illegal. Piracy will not be tolerated. All downloads will be honest and legitimate. If it is determined that a student is knowingly using pirated software, music, or movies, the student development committee will be called upon to investigate and implement a course of action to correct the problem.
