Access to, and use of, e-mail is a privilege and should be treated as such by all users. Computing services, including e-mail, may not be used for illegal or unauthorized purposes including: harassment, destruction of, or damage to, equipment, software, or data belonging to others; or the disruption or unauthorized monitoring of electronic communications. Using e-mail to participate in illegal acts is itself illegal and may be subject to prosecution by state and federal authorities.

WEB EMPLOYER—Web Employer is a component that empowers employers we work with to post positions and search for candidate resumes over the web. This means less data entry for our office and staff and fewer hassles with faxing candidate resumes. Web Employer gives 1stPlace! up-to-date information on all employer activity by creating referral records so that we know which employers are contacting which applicants. Employers can only view active applicant resumes and are restricted from viewing any additional applicant information. Web components allow us to track and administer every interaction students and employers have with the system from the 1stPlace! database within our office. For more information contact the Counseling and Career Center, Bede Hall, room 106.
