OneDrive Usage Guidelines
UHV Information Technology is providing OneDrive access for all UHV employees and enrolled students. This online storage space can be used to store your personal work files easily and securely across multiple devices at any location that has an Internet connection. You can share files with co-workers and colleagues, edit Office documents in real-time with Office Online, and sync files to your local computer with the OneDrive App. As this is a cloud service, there are a few guidelines that must be followed.
Per System Policy (see SAM 07.A.08), all information is classified into 3 categories, Level 1, 2 and 3. These are:
- Level 1: Private information that:
- by law, code or policy must remain private. This includes employee financial information, student’s grades, and personally identifying information such as student’s contact information and Social Security numbers.
- is considered “Mission Critical” for the business of UHV
- Level 2: Private information you want treated like Level 1, and information that’s currently private or confidential, but will eventually be public such as research and lecture notes.
- Level 3: Public information
