UGCS Acceptable Use Policy

Use of UGCS is subject to the Honor Code and the Institute Policy on Acceptable Use of Electronic Information Resources. Specifically, any commercial use of UGCS is strictly prohibited (this includes participating in, eg, Google AdSense). Also, we request that users keep in mind that UGCS gets its bandwidth free from Caltech, and that it is intended for use by members of the Caltech community. As such, please refrain from running things like Tor exit nodes, open proxies, excessive bittorrent (even of legal content) etc.

Our policies for dealing with copyright violations can be found on our Copyrighted Material and DMCA policy

Use of Matlab, Mathematica, and Maple is restricted to current Caltech undergraduates, graduate students, staff, and faculty. Alumni who do not fall into one of the above categories are not authorized to use these software packages.
