Cable TV: We’ve mentioned that changes are coming and we will soon know more, but the gist is … most academic cable feeds will be scrambled this summer.

Code 42 – CrashPlan Pro back-up services are available for all University computers; if users have questions, please call the Helpdesk. Users should be proactive.

April 13th is the deadline for Technology Security Review applications for items needing clearance to purchase in the current fiscal year. Even with this deadline, complex requests may not be completed in time to use fiscal 2018 funds – please submit as early as possible!

April 27th is the deadline for fiscal year 2018 technology purchases. Please contact us with any emergency needs. (NOTE: External grant purchases are typically not subject to this deadline but have their own due dates – usually at the end of the grant. If you do not understand this, please ask for clarification.)
