Dear Rice Faculty, Staff, and Students –

On Monday, March 26, 2018 at 8:00am, Rice OIT will enable YouTube access for the Rice Community using your Rice Google account. As a result, you will have the ability to access and upload content to YouTube without having to use a non-Rice account (i.e. personal Google account).

We do want to remind everyone that the use of YouTube must comply with University policies regarding protecting confidential and sensitive information and the appropriate use of Information Technology. Furthermore, all student use of these accounts is subject to the expectations in Code of Student Conduct, which includes the Sexual Misconduct Policy; these are available at SJP.rice.edu.

Please visit https://vpit.rice.edu/policies and refer to Rice University Policy 808, Protection of University Data and Information, and Rice University Policy 832, Appropriate Use of Information Technology.

Use of YouTube must also comply with applicable local, state, and federal laws, including, but not limited to, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Copyright Act (Title 17 of US Code). It may also be useful to read over YouTube’s terms of service that is available on the YouTube home page.

If you have any questions or need help accessing YouTube using your Rice Google account, contact the OIT Help Desk at 713-348-HELP (4357), or email helpdesk@rice.edu.

Sincerely,
Mike

Mike Dewey
Director – Campus Services
