Security Policy Exception

Please fill out this form if you require an exception for the current UGA Security Policy. Please note that if you submit this form you agree to the following:

I agree to abide by and apply all IT policies and standards published below:


I agree that the device will meet the following minimum standards required for all devices associated with Warnell


Warnell OIT will maintain administrative access to the device at all times.

I acknowledge I am assuming all risks and responsibilities associated with the exception that I am requesting and that the risks and responsibilities are no longer the responsibility of Warnell OIT or the Dean's Office.


In the event of a security incident, I understand that I assume all risk, responsibility, and costs associated with data loss, data recovery, and damage to reputation associated with the security incidence.


I understand that the occurrence of security incidents will result in the reevaluation of the exception that I have been granted as determined by the Dean's Office in consultation with the IT Executive Director.


I acknowledge that receiving an exception will result in a lower service level from Warnell OIT since I will be handling all risks and responsibilities associated with administrative rights on computers that I administer.


Warnell OIT will assign a medium priority to my requests including requests for incident mitigation, and Warnell OIT will respond during regular business hours as resources allow.
