Printing on Campus
To address the growing cost of paper, ink and printers on campus, and to encourage thoughtful choices of when to print, the College is expanding its use of the print accounting system this fall. Students will be allowed 600 units (single sided black and white) of printing per academic year at no charge.  Charges for any printing that exceeds the 600-unit maximum will be five cents per unit, and billed to the student’s account. Unused printing allotments will not carry over to subsequent years.  For more detailed information regarding the printing policy, please see https://gustavus.edu/gts/Printing.

Residence Hall Labs
To better serve the needs of the students using the residence hall computer labs, some of the labs have been reconfigured to include spaces more conducive for group study, kiosks for quick access, and laptop stations.  If you have suggestions or feedback regarding these changes or suggestions for changes in the residence hall computer labs, please email helpline@gustavus.edu.

Symantec Endpoint Protection
All personally-owned Windows computers registering on the campus network this fall will be required to update to the newest version of Symantec Endpoint Protection.  The newest version brings added security features and increased protection from viruses and spyware.

Guest Access/Wireless/Network
Improvements and segmenting have taken place with the wireless and wired networks on campus this summer.  These changes, mostly invisible to the end users, should deliver faster and more reliable Internet access to all.  Guests of the college should access the GustieGuest wireless network.  Students in the residence halls are reminded that a wired connection is always faster and more reliable than wireless.  If you need an Ethernet cable – stop by the Technology Helpline and pick one up for free.

Home Directory Space
Network storage space has increased over the summer allowing all users more space.

Helpline in the Library
The Technology Helpline is planning on opening a satellite desk in the Library during the evening to help you with any technology issues or problems.  Look for us in the Library.

It’s that time again. Summer is here and there are many personnel changes at Gustavus.

If your department is undergoing any personnel changes or office moves, we would ask that you could send any information to helpline@gustavus.edu as soon as possible to make sure everything is ready, technology-wise, for your new faculty members. If you are unsure of the dates/names/location, please still let us know. We can communicate this summer further when you know more.  Many thanks to those have already contacted us.

Also, if the administrative assistant will only be here sparingly during the summer, please indicate that information as well, so we can better communicate with them to coordinate these changes. As always, if you have other questions, please let the Technology Helpline know.

In your email, please be sure to include:

Retirement/Leaving
Who is leaving.
What office they were in.
The date they will be officially out of the office

Who the new person is.
What office they will be in.
When they will arrive.

Office Moves
Name and which office they will take.
The dates in which the move can take place

Thanks in advance! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to give me a call at x7130.

Sincerely,
Nick Sonsteby
