Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

Provides AUP community members with access to the University’s fixed and wireless networks, printers, and other services on devices not managed by the University.

Information

AUP’s vision is to make information more accessible. To support this goal, we are implementing Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) services, enabling access to university resources from personal devices. While we extend support for connectivity and access, users remain responsible for their own hardware, software, and data. 

Code of Conduct

If you are using a personal device to access University services then you have a responsibility to ensure that University users, data and services are kept safe. 

You should always ensure that any BYOD devices are configured correctly before using, and are kept up-to-date and secure.

You should also always ensure that you follow our IT Resources Rights, privileges and Acceptable Use policy, our BYOD Policy,  as well as comply with our other University IT Policies.

In case of policy infringement, especially if the BYOD device is not compliant, AUP reserves the right to interrupt access to the University services to this device and/or user.
