Academic Integrity	Lone Star College Academic Integrity Policy
Software Piracy:	Law strictly prohibits unauthorized copying of software purchased by LSC-Montgomery for use in laboratories. LSC-Montgomery administration will take appropriate disciplinary action against anyone violating copyright laws.
Computer Virus Protection:	Computer viruses are, unfortunately, a fact of life. Using the diskettes on more than one computer creates the possibility of infecting computers and diskettes with a computer virus. This exposes the computers of the campus, your personal computer, and any others you may be using to potentially damaging viruses. The campus has aggressive anti-virus procedures in place to protect its computers, but cannot guarantee that a virus might not temporarily infect one of its machines. It is your responsibility to protect all computers under your control and use and ensure that each diskette you use, whenever or wherever you use it, has been scanned with anti-virus software. Since new viruses arise continually, your anti-virus software must be kept current. And, since no anti-virus software will find every virus, keeping copies of data (backups) is extremely important.
