Carol,
As suggested by others you can use a ROBOTS.TXT file in the home
directory of your web. The following will block all well behaved
scans:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
Another possibility is to require login to the web. For example
Apache .htaccess files can be used to require a simple basic
authentication. Or on Windows NT and MS IIS, the directory permissions
can be set to a group login known to your staff and anonymous access
can be disabled. This solution applies only if no public or general
access is necessary. Either method could also be used to limit
access to campus IP addresses, or a simple, publicly announced name
and password could be used. Etc, etc....
