The Information Technology deadline to receive all new software and new software requests necessary to be installed in the computer labs for Spring 2010 is November 30, 2009...
What is the IT Computer Lab software deadline?
It is the date by which IT must have any new software media to install software required for the first day of classes for the Spring 2010 semester. Please send your software update/new software request for Spring 2010 to Juliana Simms as soon as possible. Mac Requests must be forwarded to Anne Balish. (Either can be found in our address book or we can forward your request sent to helpdesk@salisbury.edu.)
Why is the deadline so early before the Spring 2010 semester?
With 292 computers in 9 IT computer labs, it takes 4-6 weeks to complete all the upgrades and new installations to have the labs ready for the beginning of the semester. This means the lab software upgrades must begin on or about December 1, 2009. The month of January is used to test and install the software on the network servers.
Can I get software installed in the middle of the semester?
Yes, but there are limited windows for software to be installed during a semester. Normally, semester breaks are used to perform lab software updates.
What if I don't get my software request in by the deadline?
Your software request will be processed in the order it was received and completed as soon as possible, but may not be ready for the first day of classes. Normally, it will take several weeks to find time in the computer labs to perform updates and software installs once classes begin due to lab class schedules.
If there is any new software to be used in the IT computer labs beginning Spring 2010, the software media must be received by me no later than November 30, 2009 to be ready for the first day of classes.
