Campus Email

General Policy

Antioch College provides its computer systems and email access for academic and administrative purposes. Access to these systems is a privilege, and every user is expected to abide the College Honor Code and use good judgment when using the email system.

The Antioch College email system is considered an official means of communication, and all members of the campus community are expected to check their email on a regular basis. As such, the email system is the primary mode of communication for disciplinary actions, academic communications, holds, appeals, and other official college related communications. Email accounts will be created and deleted according to the Email Account Management Policy.

The email messages express the views of the individual author and may not reflect the views or opinions of the college as a whole.

The College’s email system should not be used to send messages containing material that is fraudulent, harassing, sexually explicit, profane (including slang or abbreviated profanity), obscene, intimidating, defaming, or otherwise unlawful or inappropriate. Violations of this nature are considered very severe. Any offense detected will be handled swiftly and to the fullest extent allowed under college policy, including, where appropriate, academic dismissal, termination of employment, and civil or criminal action. Any violation of policy will be handled in the following manner:

• Students will be referred to the Dean of Student Life for disciplinary action/sanction;
• Faculty will be referred to the Vice President for Academic Affairs;
• Staff will be referred to their immediate supervisor;
• Human Resources will take appropriate action as outlined in the policy manuals for Faculty and Staff.
