POLICY:
Each of the Enterprise Systems has different storage and access requirements. A quota system is needed to effectively manage the storage resources of these systems. This quota system will help to ensure that sufficient storage capacity is provided to all campus users and to encourage the appropriate use of each system.
The University recognizes the need to make temporary adjustments to an individual's defined quota limit. For students, the Department Chair may authorize the adjustment based upon a particular course or project offered by the department. For all other accounts, the Chief Information Officer (or designee) may authorize the adjustment.
