The instructor’s computers in the campus Technology Enhanced Classrooms (TECs) and Active Learning spaces were updated this summer to enhance security, and to provide additional functionality for faculty, staff, and students.
Beginning fall 2021, faculty, staff and students will be required to log in with their CWRU network ID and passphrase to use the instructor’s computers in the TECs.
University Technology ([U]Tech) is making these modifications to reduce the risk profile of the university and improve the security of university-owned devices. Recent vulnerabilities, such as PrintNightmare, and requirements to patch and update vulnerable devices as soon as possible to avoid ransomware and computer viruses have led to this security enhancement.
Faculty, staff and students also will receive these personalized experiences, features and benefits upon login:
- Microsoft Office 365:
