ITS is aware of a system outage affecting all JasperNet web services.  We are currently investigating the issue and will have more information soon.

Phishing Scams

We have received a couple of reports of phishing scam emails being received by users on campus today.  Remember that ITS will never ask you for your username or password.  Emails asking you for such information are fraudulent and should be deleted.  If you did submit your password information to one of these emails it is recommended that you change your password as quickly as possible.

Google Apps New Launcher

Google has just updated its Google Apps launcher. 

Before the update, Google had all the apps listed in the top of the page as pictured below. 

After the update, the apps no longer appear in a toolbar on the top left. Rather, they are in a grid-like structure on the top right of the page, next to your account name and picture. To access your Apps (calendar, emails, drive, etc) you can click on the 9 small boxes to access a drop down list as shown below.
