3. You must not tamper with or unplug any University owned wireless network equipment that may be installed in your residence.
4. You will be required to adhere to the Acceptable Use Policy for Guests which is available at the following web site: Staff, Students and Campus Guests: Acceptable Use Policy for Technology Resources
