X1.1 Google Apps Available to Faculty and Staff

Availability and Use of Google Apps Download

FDU’s Acceptable Use Policy prohibits running software that accepts incoming connections from other computers. Programs such as BitTorrent or other P2P file sharing hosting program all contain server components that allow others to connect to your computer and retrieve files off of your system. In addition to the legal implications of sharing copyrighted materials, file sharing software creates a security concern. Improper use of these programs could result in the compromise of your private files and may leave your system open to attacks from other computers.

As such, the University requires all users of data to follow the procedures outlined below:

Policy on Confidential Information

Users of University data are required to abide by all applicable Federal and State guidelines and University policies regarding confidentiality of data, including the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”) and, as applicable, The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”). For more information, see: FDU’s General Confidentiality Policy, FERPA and HIPAA. 

Confidential Information shall be defined as:

• regarding student, faculty or staff: any personally-identifiable records, financial records (including social security and credit card numbers), health records; contracts, research data; alumni and donor records; personnel records other than an individual’s own personnel record; 

• regarding the University: University financial data; computer and system passwords, University issued PINS, University proprietary information/data; and 

• any other information for which access, use, or disclosure is not authorized by: 1) federal, state, or local law; or 2) University policy.

The individual receiving the Confidential Information shall have no obligation under this Policy with respect to Confidential Information which:

• is or becomes publicly available without breach of this Policy by the recipient;
• is rightfully received by the recipient without obligations of confidentiality; or
• is developed by the recipient without breach of this Policy; provided, however, such Confidential Information shall not be disclosed until thirty (30) days after written notice of intent to disclose is given to the University officer who has responsibility for the data in question, along with the asserted grounds for disclosure;
• is disclosed in accordance with any “whistle blower” action as provided in the U.S. False Claims Act, the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act (“NJCEPA”), or similar legislation.  (Brief overview of the NJCEPA is available here.

Any individual with authorized access to the Confidential Information is given access solely for the business of the University and must not divulge the Confidential Information outside of the University except for University business requirements approved by the President of the University or the division head responsible for the data in question. Specifically, with respect to Confidential Information, individuals must:

It is the individual’s responsibility to immediately report, as outlined under “Information Security Breach and Violation Reporting” at the end of this Policy, if the individual has violated this Policy. Additionally, given the potential harm that the University may suffer with the release of any Confidential Information, all employees are strongly encouraged to report any suspected violation of this policy or any other action, which violates confidentiality of data, as outlined at the end of this policy.

Security Measures and Procedures

All users of University information systems, including Datatel, MS File shares and FDU Office 365 email accounts, are supplied with an individual user account to access the data or systems necessary for the completion of their job responsibilities. Users of the University information systems are required to follow the procedures outlined below:

1. All transactions, processed by a user ID and password, or PIN, are the responsibility of the person to whom the user ID was assigned. The user’s ID, password, and PIN must remain confidential and must not be shared with anyone.
   • Using someone else’s user ID, password or PIN is a violation of policy, no matter how it was obtained.
   • Your user ID, password or PIN provides access to information that has been granted specifically to you.  To reduce the risk of shared passwords – remember not to post your password or PIN on or near your workstation or share your password or PIN with anyone.
   • It is your responsibility to change your password immediately if you believe someone else has obtained it.

NOTE: If you need your Password or PIN changed, please contact the Fairleigh Dickinson University Technical Assistance Center (UTAC) immediately.

2. Access to any student or employee information (in any format) is to be determined based on specific job requirements. The appropriate Department Chair, School Director, Department Director/Manager, Dean, Provost, and/or Vice President is responsible for ensuring that access is granted only to authorized individuals, based on their job responsibilities. Written authorization must be received by the Computer Center prior to granting system access.
   • You are prohibited from viewing or accessing additional information (in any format) unless you have been authorized to do so.  Any access obtained without written authorization is considered unauthorized access.
   • In order to prevent unauthorized use, the user shall log off of all applications that provide access to confidential information, or lock their computer when leaving their workstation. This is especially important during breaks and lunch. Unless there is a specific business need, all workstations should be shut down at the end of the workday.

NOTE:  If you require assistance in establishing your workstation password, please access the screensaver documentation or contact the Fairleigh Dickinson University Technical Assistance Center (UTAC).

3. If you have any reason to believe your password or PIN has been compromised or revealed inadvertently, you should change your password and immediately notify one of the individuals as outlined under “Information Security Breach and Violation Reporting” at the end of this policy.

NOTE: All University’s computer system will periodically prompt you to change your password.

4. Upon termination or transfer of an employee, Human Resources will notify University Systems and Security, who in turn will notify the appropriate areas in the Computer Center.

5. Generally, students, temporary employees and consultants should not have access to the University record system. Written approval by the Department Chair, School Director, Department Director/Manager, Dean, Provost, and/or Vice President in charge of the respective area is required if it is determined that access is required. The student, temporary employee or consultant is to be held to the same standards as all University employees, and must be made aware of their responsibilities to protect student and employee privacy rights and data integrity. Written authorization must be received by the Computer Center prior to granting system access.

6. You agree to properly secure and dispose of any outputs or files you create in a manner that fully protects the Confidential Information.

Additionally, I understand that if granted access to process transactions via Datatel data entry screens, any information I enter or change will be effective immediately. Accordingly, I understand that I am responsible for any changes made using my ID.

I understand that my access to University data is for the sole purpose of carrying out my job responsibilities and Confidential Information is not to be divulged outside of The University, except as previously stated. Breach of confidentiality, including aiding, abetting, or acting in conspiracy with any other person to violate any part of this policy, may result in sanctions, civil or criminal prosecution and penalties, employment and/or University disciplinary action, and could lead to dismissal, suspension or revocation of all access privileges. I understand that misuse of University data and any violation of this policy or the FERPA, HIPAA or GLB policies are grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. This Agreement shall not abridge nor supersede any rights afforded faculty members under the Faculty Handbook.

Information Security Breach and/or Policy Violation Reporting

Effective Date: April 1, 2025

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is a technology capable of generating new text, images, video, and other data by analyzing and modeling existing datasets. This policy ensures that all members of the FDU Community understand that entering information into publicly available GenAI applications may contribute that data to the application’s training models, potentially making it accessible beyond the university and exposing confidential information.

Additionally, this policy defines the responsible use and data security requirements for GenAI by University faculty, staff, and students. These requirements supplement existing data security policies established by OIRT. Accordingly, diligence must be maintained to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Administrative Data and Education Records that may be accessed, processed, or generated through GenAI applications.

• Confidential, Restricted, or Official Use Only Information must not be entered into any publicly available or commercial GenAI application unless an approved agreement is in place with the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) or the Chief Information Officer (CIO). This agreement must include appropriate data security requirements in compliance with university policies.
• WISP protect information shall not be entered into any private GenAI application without prior approval from the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) or the Chief Information Officer (CIO). Additionally, if the application is not owned and administered by Fairleigh Dickinson University, an approved use agreement must be executed with the application provider and must include appropriate data security requirements in compliance with university policies.
• Each GenAI application handling Confidential, Restricted, or Official Use Only Information must have an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) defining its terms of use, data collection policies, and user responsibilities. Faculty may include the AUP in course syllabi if GenAI is permitted for use in the course.
• Output from a GenAI application must be reviewed by the submitter of the request for confidentiality, integrity, accuracy, fairness, regulatory compliance, and academic attribution with unintended bias before publication or ingestion into another University system in accordance with current FDU Information Security policies located on IT.FDU.EDU.
• Confidential, Restricted, or Official Use Only Information must not be retained within GenAI systems after processing, particularly in products and services not hosted by FDU. If the GenAI system allows data deletion, the data must be securely removed once processing is complete unless retention is legally or regulatory required. If deletion is not feasible due to system limitations, alternative measures must be implemented to ensure data confidentiality, such as anonymization or eliminating sensitive data before inputting it into the system.
• A disclaimer must clearly indicate when GenAI is used to generate data or influence decision-making. This ensures transparency regarding the nature and origin of the information provided.
• In the event of a suspected or confirmed data security incident involving a GenAI system, users must immediately report the incident to the Data Security Incident Response Team (DSIRT) by contacting the Fairleigh Dickinson University Technical Assistance Center (UTAC) at (973)-443-8822. The UTAC is available 24×7.

Last Revision: 02/07/2020

I. OBJECTIVE

In an effort to maintain the reputation, security, continuity, and technical oversight of university assets considered part of our overall catalog of services, the Office of Information and Resource Technology is issuing a new policy concerning domain names affiliated with Fairleigh Dickinson University. Affiliation with FDU is determined by OIRT in conjunction with the Offices of General Counsel and Communications and Marketing.

II. POLICY

All domain registrations that have an affiliation with the University must be registered through OIRT. An affiliation is defined as a domain that identifies the University as part of its naming nomenclature and houses content specific to the University or any function, whether administrative, academic, or student related to the University. To request a new domain, please complete the following:

Domain Transfer or Registration Request

You may also try emailing your questions to domainregistrar@fdu.edu.

In addition to the domain registration, ongoing certification renewals and any backend technical configurations will be managed by OIRT. All costs associated with the domain will be charged back to the department.

Any department that today independently manages/operates a University domain as defined above or has obtained a domain with any affiliation with FDU must notify OIRT of the existence of that domain so ownership can be moved over to OIRT management. Please contact OIRT by sending all available information to domainregister@fdu.edu. A member of OIRT will work with the department to move the ownership over properly. All content of any domain, as well as plug-ins or any other functionality of the domain, will be reviewed by OIRT but are the responsibility of the individual departments.

III. IN CASE OF QUESTIONS

All questions relating to the Domain Registration Policy can be addressed to the VP & CIO of Fairleigh Dickinson University.

This guide is designed to assist you in mastering both the classic and updated versions of the DUO Device Management Portal. It simplifies the process of modifying existing devices and integrating new ones into your multi-factor authentication setup.

Legacy DUO Device Management Portal

1. In a Desktop or Laptop browser visit the “DUO Management Portal“. You will be prompted to authenticate through SSO and complete the Multi-factor Authentication process

DUO Management Portal

2. After authenticating you’ll see the DUO Management Portal. This is where you can enroll new devices, reactivate, edit, or delete your existing devices

If you authenticate with more than one device, you can specify which you would like to be the default.

1. Click the “Default Device” drop-down menu and pick your default device for authentication. Click “Save” if you’re done making changes

2. You can choose which authentication method you prefer to use when logging in by clicking on the “When I log in” drop-down menu
   • Ask me to choose an authentication method: it will prompt you to select an option every time you log in
   • Automatically send this device a DUO Push: it will automatically send a DUO Push to your default device

1. Click on “Reactivate DUO Mobile” if you need to get DUO Push working on your phone, for example, if you replaced your phone with a new model but kept the same phone number.

2. After answering some questions about your device, you’ll receive a new QR code to scan with your phone, which will complete the DUO Mobile activation process

1. Click on “Change Device Name” to open up an interface to change the display name of your phone

2. Type in the new name and click “Save“

1. Click the “trash” icon button to delete a device

2. Confirm that you want to remove the device by clicking on “Remove“. The device will be deleted. It will no longer be able to approve DUO authentication requests.

To add a new authentication device, click “Add another device” link on the right side of the DUO Prompt. You’ll be taken to the new device enrollment prompt

You can use the DUO Quick Start Guide for instructions on how to enroll a new device

Updated DUO Device Management Portal

You can add additional verification methods, manage your existing devices, or reactivate DUO Mobile for DUO Push from the DUO Universal Prompt.

1. When logging in to an application with the Universal Prompt Click the “Other Options” link on the authentication page to view your list of available methods

2. Click on “Manage devices” at the end of the list to enter the device management portal

3. You will be prompted to verify your identity by completing the DUO Multifactor Authentication process. Select your preferred authentication method from the listed options to continue

• After approving a DUO authentication request you can see the Device Management Portal with all your registered devices.

To add a new method of verifying your identity in DUO, click “Add a device” and follow the enrollment process described in the DUO Quick Start Guide, starting on Step 3.

The difference between adding a new device from the Device Management Portal and during first-time enrollment is that when you have finished enrolling the new device you return to the Device Management Portal to view all your registered devices, including the new one, instead of continuing to log into an application.

1. Click the “Edit” button on the device you would like to rename or remove to view the drop down menu
   • Then click either “Rename” or “Delete“

2. When renaming a device, type the new name for your device, then click on “Rename” to save your changes

3. When Deleting a device, confirm your selection to delete

If you have replaced the phone you activated for DUO Push, you can reactivate DUO Push if you have the same phone number.

1. Click on “I have a new phone” for the device you want to reactivate

2. Click “Get Started” to continue

3. Click on “Send me a passcode” or “Call my phone” then proceed to follow the instructions prompted to complete the reactivation process

1. Let the DUO Push authentication time out

2. Click on the “I got a new phone” link shown in the Universal Prompt

• If you still use the same phone number as you did when you first set up the phone to use DUO Push, then click or tap the “Text me a link” button

• When the text message with the link arrives on your phone, tap it to automatically reactivate DUO Mobile on your phone to use DUO Push again. If you don’t have DUO Mobile installed be sure to install it before you try to open the activation link in the text message.

• If you are using a different phone number than the one you first set up, then press on “I got a new number“

3. Press “Continue” to proceed to the DUO Device Management Portal, where you can complete the steps to “Adding a New Device“ and set up DUO Push on the new phone

Two-factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication also referred to as multi-factor authentication, provides an additional layer of security when logging in to a website. Two-factor authentication is becoming the standard in cybersecurity. Google, Apple, and other services all have their two-factor authentication methods. In short, passwords are no longer sufficient in protecting our sensitive data; we’ve got to add another layer of security to our accounts.

FAQ’s for DUO Authentication

DUO two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security to your FDU NetID. It requires two factors to verify identity. These factors include something you know – your FDU NetID and password, and something you have – a phone or passcode, to authenticate and gain access to your account on FDU services. Passwords alone no longer provide adequate protection against cyber hacking. DUO is required for all current FDU students.

Install DUO Mobile App

The DUO app is available for mobile phones and tablets. You can directly access the DUO Mobile Security App using these links:
