It is the responsibility of all users of PVAMU information technology resources to know and understand all relevant laws and policies that govern its use. For the most part, the members of the PVAMU community do obey the PVAMU IT policy.
However, one issue that is more commonly dismissed, not only by PVAMU students, but by many college and university students across the nation, is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA")
Information Technology Services (ITS) and the Office of the Dean of Student have implemented a layered approach to educate students on the issues surrounding the DMCA as well as measures to help enforce proper use of information technology.
