Cary Academy File Quota Storage Policy

Cary Academy recognizes that students have the right to store information in their personal folder on the network, called U: drive, have adequate storage for Web Pages, storage for E-mail and being able to send files as attachments.  Based on Cary Academy’s current network configuration and future enrollment needs we will have a quota placed on personal folders, U: drive, Personal Web Page storage, E-mail storage and sending files as attachments.  The policies below state what type of quota system will be put into place.

 1)     Personal Folder or U: drive, will be limited to 200-MB (megabytes) of storage space.

a)      A system message will be sent to anyone who reaches 80% of this storage, which will give a person adequate time to review what they have saved and decide if it is still of use.

b)      If a person exceeds their 100-MB of storage space then the system will send a message stating that you have exceeded your storage limitation and until files are deleted, you will not be allowed to save or update any more data.

c)       If a student feels they need more space than what is provided and all the files they have stored are being used for legitimate purposes, then they must see their advisor and state why they require the extra storage space.  Once the student and the advisor agree more space is needed for that student the request will be submitted to the IS department for approval.

2)     Web pages will have a maximum of 50-MB (megabytes) of storage space. 

a)      A system message will be sent notifying a person if they have reached 80% of the 50-MB storage capacity so that person will have time to review their Web Page and make any adequate adjustments to decrease the size of your Web Page.

b)      If a person exceeds their 50-MB of storage space then the system will send a message stating that you have exceeded your storage limitation and until files are deleted, you will not be allowed to save or update any more data.

c)       If a student feels that they should have more space allocated for their web page, they must see their advisor and state the reasons why. Once the student and the advisor agree more space is needed for that student the request will be submitted to the IS department for approval.
