This is a reminder that in order to accommodate changes to software installed on computers in the student computer labs for the new school year (fall semester), we must receive requests including any installation media (CD鈥檚, DVD鈥檚, etc.) and any related licensing information such as serial numbers BEFORE June 1, 2015. (NOTE: Software should be Windows 7 compatible.)
This deadline is necessary to allow us sufficient time to properly plan and implement the installation of new and upgraded software in order to ensure that our students have the software resources that they need.
Email all requests to Stephen Mahar at smahar@upei.ca. Any requests received after June 1, 2015 will be applied in the next round of software updates. All software installations are required to be licensed as network installations and not as single workstations only.
In order to ensure that your requested software is configured to meet your course requirements and specifications, please test your software after it has been installed before August 18, so that we can make any necessary adjustments.
If you have any questions feel free to contact Stephen Mahar, Jeff MacDonald (jmacdonald@upei.ca), or Melissa Bruce (mjbruce@upei.ca).
The University Senate meets regularly in AVC 286A/287. Recently, a chair (stool) was purchased specifically for use by an employee who takes the meeting minutes in order to alleviate back pain. It was delivered to the meeting room just prior to the March 13 meeting of Senate, but by the April 10 meeting, it had been removed.
The chair is stool height, swivels, and has a back and metal base on which a message is engraved, "For Senate Use. Please do not remove from this room."
Anyone who might be aware of the chair's whereabouts is asked to contact Security Services at 0384 or return it to its proper place.
