The number or name will be held on file by IT Services with date of occurrence and type of infringement. The record will be deleted after 6 months.
The person may ask to see any record pertaining to him/herself and if they believe it to be inaccurate may ask the Student Computing Facilities Manager to have it amended or deleted. If agreement is not reached the matter may be escalated to the Director of the Computing Service.
The person may be reported to IT Services management and/or library attendant staff for possible disciplinary action in the case of:
- certain types of infringement or
- repeated infringement or
