Because media technology has the potential to hinder learning and motivation, Southern has established policies and practices regarding its use.
Students are expected to choose media content by applying the Biblical standard found in Philippians 4:8: “Whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”
Student choices that have a negative impact on their own or another student’s grades and/or spirituality may result in fines and/or confiscation of equipment. Media use should not disturb neighboring rooms in residence halls or cause a distraction in common areas on campus.
Students are expected to honor the policies of the Acceptable Use Policy, which they signed through Information Technology, when receiving a southern.edu email account and access to the Southern network.
