Internet Filter

The new Internet filter will offer options for faculty and staff to override currently blocked content. Please be aware that you must use your network username and password. Students should not have access to this information. Your username and password should be used by you only - do not share your login information with students or other faculty members.

The following tutorials will explain how the filter override will work. (NOTE: You may have to click the security warning bar under the Internet Explorer toolbar to "Allow Blocked Content" in order to view the tutorials.)

• Continue to a site that 'may' violate the AUP (Warning given)
• Override a blocked site with a staff login
• Try to override a site that cannot be overridden with a staff login
