Property owned by the University of North Georgia shall be used only for institutional purposes, and may not be removed from campus. For example, this would prevent the use of a college laptop to type term papers for a fee after working hours; loaning of a tent to a civic club or a church; or building a cabinet in the woodshop for a fee.
College personnel may not purchase goods or services for personal use through college channels. For example, an employee who orders footballs, flowers, or lumber may not add an extra football, an extra flat of flowers, or extra lumber for personal use even if the employee pays for it. In fact, it is best not to personally buy items from businesses that also serve the university and have those items delivered to the university. The bottom line is: Keep personal business separate from work.
Use of state vehicles for personal travel is prohibited. Spouses and children are also prohibited from traveling in state vehicles.
In the course of your work you may encounter confidential information, which includes personal information about students and employees, as well as other university matters.
