Technology Prohibited by Regulation

In spring 2023 some technologies became prohibited on state devices and networks. You can find a list of current restrictions and additional information on how these new laws and policies are carried out at SHSU. This will means that some websites (e.g. TikTok) will not be available on the SHSU wi-fi network with an exception for our residence hall students.
