Guideline Regarding the Use of University Issued Computing Devices When Traveling Internationally

NJIT’s Policy on Use of University Issued Computing Devices When Traveling Internationally prohibits faculty, staff, and students from bringing their NJIT issued computing device and/or phone when traveling internationally. This page provides procedures and guidelines for complying with that policy.

Requesting a Loaner Device

 

  • Requests for a loaner device should be submitted through either the IST Service Desk or the Nexus website at least ten business days before the planned travel. 

  • These loaner devices will have limited applications available; in addition, there will be restrictions on local data storage to prevent the loss of sensitive, restricted, or University data.

  • Loaner devices will be brought to the IST Service Desk within two business days of returning to NJIT. 

  • Any data on the devices will be deleted and the device will be imaged. Loaner devices will be made available by the IST Division on a first come-first serve basis. 

 

Reminders

  • Employees who need to conduct official business when traveling internationally must use the NJIT Virtual Private Network (VPN). 

  • Public or shared computers should not be used to access NJIT systems under any circumstance.    

  • Anyone who conducts research should consult with the Office of Research to determine whether specific technologies or data require special licensing or disclosure.
