Overview
Fleming students and staff often study and work using personal computing devices belonging to the individual, not the college. This practice is commonly known as Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). This user standard defines the responsibilities and expectations of Fleming users when studying or working from a personal BYOD device, both on and off campus.

The Fleming College ITS Service Desk is available to assist users with questions related to configuring BYOD devices according to this standard and any system or application settings required to access Fleming’s IT resources.
Safeguarding Fleming Information on BYOD
Fleming's electronic information is generally more at risk of being compromised, corrupted, or lost when accessed using a BYOD due to:
- the vulnerability of laptops or other mobile devices to theft or loss;
- the risk of unauthorized persons accessing the device; and
- unintentional storage or retention of information on BYOD devices without the user being aware (e.g. file downloads, browser cache, etc.)
