Links are provided for convenience and information only. Providing a link to an external site does not constitute an endorsement or approval by the University of any services, products or opinions expressed by the organization, corporation or individual maintained in the linked website. The University bears no responsibility for the external Site's accuracy, legality, content or subsequent links. In providing links to other sites, the University is not acting as a publisher or disseminator of the material on these other sites. It does not seek to control the content of or maintain editorial control over such sites.

A link on the Site to another website should not be construed as meaning that the University is associated with or is legally authorized to use any trademark, trade name, logo, or copyrighted symbol that may be reflected in the link or the description of the link to such other websites. In addition, the mention of another party or its product or services on the Site should not be construed as an endorsement of that party or its product or service.

Certain words, phrases, names, designs or logos used on the Site may constitute trademarks, official marks, service marks or trade names of the University or other entities. The display of such marks or names on the Site does not imply that the University or other entities have granted a license or authorization to use such marks or names.

All information submitted to the University via the Site shall be deemed to be and remain the property of the University.

Furthermore, the University shall not be subject to any confidentiality obligations regarding any such information submitted to it unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the University.

The Internet is not secure, and privacy cannot be ensured. Internet e-mail is vulnerable to interception and forgery. The University will not be responsible for any damages you or any third party may suffer as a result of the transmission of confidential information to the University through the Internet or that you expressly or implicitly authorize the University to transmit to you through the Internet or for any errors or any changes made to any electronically transmitted information.

Some University of Regina websites may distribute a tiny “cookie” file to your browser. Such files allow us to provide personalized information on your future website visits and may be used for remarketing purposes. Remarketing targets advertising based on internet activity and may involve third parties such as Google or Facebook displaying advertising or messaging from the university on other sites. No personally identifying information is collected with cookies. If you wish, you may change the settings on your web browser to deny cookies or to warn you when cookies will be deposited.

For the Site's security, the University employs software programs to monitor network traffic and identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or otherwise cause damage.

Except for authorized investigations, no other attempts are made to identify individual users.

In using the Site, you agree that you will not use any device, software, or process to interfere or attempt to interfere with its proper functioning. You also agree that you will not use any robot, spider, other automatic device, or manual process to impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the University’s infrastructure. An “unreasonable or disproportionately large load” prevents other University community members from gaining fair and equitable access to web-based systems and resources.

While every effort is made to ensure that information provided on the Site does not contain computer viruses, you should take reasonable and appropriate precautions to scan for computer viruses. You should also ensure that you have a complete and current backup of the applicable items or information contained in your computer system.
