Policy – Dealing with Students Who Misuse Computing Resources Proc 420

The use of computing and information processing resources is a privilege granted by the College to students who have demonstrated an appropriate need in their program of study or work assignment at Genesee Community College. All users of GCC computer resources must comply with the applicable statutes of New York State and Federal law, in particular, Chapter 514 of the New York State Penal Law. The purpose of this procedure is to outline the steps which will be followed if student misuse of computing resources is suspected.

This is an official College policy, numbered Procedure 420.

What’s Inside myGCC?

myGCC is a ‘portal’ to different sets of information and services.

For students, myGCC has:

  • links to Banner Self Service which include registration, schedules, online payment and degree audits
  • your Genesee email
  • links to online course material in My Courses
  • Financial Aid links (in the “Student” tab) to Apply for a Stafford Loan and to View Work Study Job Listings

Logging into myGCC is a ‘single sign on’ to multiple resources that would otherwise require you to remember and maintain separate usernames and passwords.
