Don’t Forget Your Flash Drive!

USB thumb drive
Although we do the best we can to return users’ flash drives when they are left behind, you might consider taking a more proactive approach. The best way to avoid losing your flash drive, and all your work, is to get in the habit of checking that you have removed it from the computer before you leave. That being said, we all forget things, so another option to ensure that your flash drive is promptly returned to you is to create a text document on your drive titled “please read me if found.” In this document, you can leave your contact information to aid the Computer Center staff in returning your drive.

Student email Performance Improvement

Student email services should be quicker and more reliable based on some changes that Network Services made in the past week. The latency problems that many students reported seemed to stem from the way our anti-virus software was configured on the email server. If you have any email related problems or notice any issues, please contact Academic Computing at Contact.
