Don't forget! The Technology Tips and Tricks Speed Meet is happening this Wednesday, February 28, from 9 a.m. to noon. This session will be presented by Kara McElwrath, UIS Director of Technology Operations. Participants will learn how to save time, enhance communication, collaborate easier, and improve efficiency by effectively using common tech applications. All faculty and staff are invited to attend.
As part of our ongoing security effort to protect users, an email rate limiting policy will go into effect February 28 for all employees.
The purpose of this policy is to prevent compromised accounts from sending mass emails to other users that might put additional accounts at risk.
Starting February 28, if an employee mailbox attempts to send more than 1000 emails per hour or 10,000 emails per day, the account will be locked for 24 hours while we investigate.
As many of you are already aware, several mobile phone companies are experiencing widespread network issues nationwide. Cell phone service is sporadic at best for many customers.
UIS' phone carrier is AT&T, which is one of the impacted companies. UIS users may experience issues making and receiving off-campus calls from campus phones. Using Zoom or Teams may be an option for those who are having trouble making calls.
ITS is closely monitoring the situation.
Microsoft announced the end-of-life date for the Windows 10 Operating System as October 14, 2025. After this date, no further updates or security patches will be available for Windows 10. UIS Information Technology Services has developed the following plan to upgrade to Windows 11.
Does it feel like technology is constantly changing and there is always something new to learn? That's because it is! Finding the time to learn new tools—or learn old tools that we never got around to learning—can be a challenge. That's where our Technology Tips and Tricks Speed Meet can help! Every 15 minutes, we'll introduce/review a different technology that can help you save time, communicate better, collaborate easier, and improve efficiency.
