The IT Department is aware of slow response from the Student & Faculty Portals, Registration, and Student Information Systems. This is due to today being the first day of Open Registration for the Fall, 2011 semester. If you experience trouble connecting or completing transactions, please try again in a few minutes. Thank you.

The Information Technology Department needed to perform emergency maintenance on the student (mycubby) and faculty web portals tonight, Wednesday July 14 at 7 P.M.

There were brief interruptions between 7:00 P.M. and 7:20 P.M.  All student and faculty portals are back up and running normally again.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Thank You,

Welcome back summer semester faculty and staff!

We have some new additions to the IT Web site that you may be interested in. A brand new E-mail page that has new links to E-mail support topics. We also added a new password support page to aid in any password related issues. Finally, when you check out a laptop or an iPad, you can automatically add the checkout due date to your own calendar.

IT will soon be performing maintenance tasks on the Outlook email accounts. It will involve taking your account off line for approximately five minutes on two consecutive evenings.

1. Unable to display the folder. Microsoft Office Outlook could not access the specified folder location.
   
2. The Microsoft Exchange administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook.

Welcome everyone! The IT Web site is officially live! This has been a months long process with many people in and outside the IT department helping to get these pages written, coded, tested, and approved. Congratulations to everyone involved!

Visit the What's New page to check out all of the new features of the site.

Enjoy!

Today, IT added some wonderful collages to the tops of some of the IT pages. These were done by Corinne Haverinen in PR and look really professional! We are gearing up for launching the IT web site very soon. There are a few more small details to be worked out as well as a final once-over with the launch plan.

Did a lot of work on the site this past week. Here are some highlights:

1. Changed how the support pages display the topics list - now the techs can specify if the list goes to the detail page or simply links to an external URL or a file they've uploaded
2. Changed the way the blog categories work so that we can list all of the categories in a category cloud.

Hello world! Welcome to the IT Department's blog! We will be posting all sorts of things here including news updates, tips and tricks, and more. Keep track of the blog via the RSS feed.

Enjoy!
