IT Campus Update: 16 February 2006

REMINDER: No More non-SSL Connections

On March 1, 2006, IT will no longer support non-SSL e-mail connections on campus e-mail servers. In short, SSL (Secured Sockets Layer) is an encryption scheme that scrambles your e-mail NetIDs and password so that no one can "capture" it on our network. Learn more:

NETWORK: Campus Network Project

Before work begins on upgrading the network wiring in each campus building, an information packet is given to department coordinators and other key individuals located in that building to share with the other occupants. For more information on the network project, see the handout online at:

or go to the new network project page at:
