5. Enrolled Participants responsibilities

5.1 User name

Each participant enrolled in the Executive Master in EU Studies programme will be allotted a user name (ILIAS-user name). This user name is valid for the duration of the academic programme. The participants are forbidden from changing their user name without prior consent from CIFE (by email).

Any misuse or fraudulous use of user identity is forbidden and will immediately lead to the blocking of the user's account. The misuse of user identity is defined as the unauthorized use of a user name by any person other than the enrolled student. This definition of misuse is also valid for the sharing or imitation of another participant on the programme or any person associated with it through the use of another user name.

5.2 Password

Upon enrolment, each participant will be issued with their own personal password. It is forbidden to divulge this password to anyone. Participants will be personally responsible for the secrecy of their password. They are also responsible for all damages and consequences of a deliberate breach of confidentiality concerning passwords. In case a participant forgets their password, they are requested to email the team of the study programme. They must confirm their identity by giving their personal details (first name, surname and address).

5.3 Use of Course materials

Each participant is authorised to make appropriate use of any materials on the ILIAS system in the context of his/her studies. The sharing of any materials contained on the ILIAS system with third parties is forbidden. This is in accordance with paragraph 3 "Author's rights and copyright" in the "User conditions and Disclaimer".
