In accordance with a memo from the chancellor of the State University System (SUS) of Florida Board of Governors (BOG) regarding Emergency Regulation 3.0075, Florida Atlantic is taking immediate actions to protect the University from potential threats posed by certain applications or websites of concern. These applications are outlined in the BOG’s SUS Prohibited Technologies List.  

The prohibited list includes TikTok, WeChat, Vkontakte (VK), Kaspersky, and QQ (Tencent QQ).

2. Blocking access to the applications from University-owned devices where possible
3. Taking actions to prevent the installation of the applications on University-owned devices where possible
