What are the Student Worker's?
- They are students who work for Information Technology that help other students with computer problems.
What is NAC and why do I need to register my computer on it?
- NAC is the name of the network management system we have in the Residence Halls and the Wireless Campus Network. It allows us to quickly identify problems with the network and manage network resources. It also helps us to notify users when their computers may have a virus or other problem that could affect other users on our network.
What is a DMCA violation, and why does it take so long to get my computer re-connected to the network after I get one?
- A Digital Millenium Copyright Act violation means that a copyright holder, or an agency acting on behalf of a copyright holder, has detected that you have downloaded or accessed copyrighted material for which you have no license. Because of this, you may have to speak to the Dean of Students or a representative from Information Technology and explain how you came into posession of the infringing material. There may be disciplinary action taken, depending on the circumstances. This process takes time, usually a week or more, and we cannot restore access until we get clearance from the Office of Student Life.
Wow, working for Student Services would be great! How do I apply?
- Stop by the Help Desk and ask how, as that's when we do most of our hiring! More information will be posted when we have open positions. Also, check for flyers from Information Technology in your halls for open Student Worker positions.
