Information Technology Policies

The University of Chicago, through its IT Services department, maintains a broad range of policies and guidelines for the use of information technologies at the University. 

Please note that IT Services will never request your CNetID and/or password via email, external web form, or other unusual methods (e.g., a Google Sheets spreadsheet). If you receive such a request, it is a phishing attack and aimed at illegally obtaining your CNetID and password. Never reply to these messages or follow any instruction these messages contain.
