Those University of Delaware students and employees who fail to honor the Code of the Web face certain penalties as outlined by the Student Guide to University Policies and other official University policy manuals (University Policies and Procedures Manual; University Faculty Handbook).

Any student who violates the policy will be subject to full disciplinary action within the Undergraduate and Graduate Student Judicial System, up to and including loss of computing privileges, suspension, and/or expulsion.

Any University employee who violates the policy shall be dealt with according to the judicial processes outlined in the University Policy Manual, the Personnel Policies and Procedures for Professional and Salaried Staff, the Faculty Handbook, and collective bargaining agreements.

The University treats access and use violations of computing facilities, equipment, software, information resources, networks, or privileges seriously and may also prosecute abuse under the Delaware Code, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986, or other appropriate laws.
