Back-to-School Checklist

checklistThe days are still long and the heat index is still sizzling hot, but the new school year is right around the corner!

Getting in gear for a new semester is a change from the somewhat slower pace of summer, but the fall days will be here before we know it! We've got a few techie "back-to-school" tips for you as you go about making your list and checking it twice (too soon?).

  • Make sure your computer has all the software you need-check out the SHSU installation menu for pre-approved software you can download instantly.
  • Updates to the software you use on a daily basis is highly possible while you've been in and out of the office. Make sure you're familiar with the changes.
  • Speaking of software, maybe your department has new software needs. We can help! The Spring software request deadline is October 1. Our software request guidelines are available for you online.
  • Last, but not least, take some time here and there to brush up on some training to start the year off right. Skillsoft online courses are available through Talent Management, with over 100 courses to choose from. And don't forget our technology training schedule!

We want you to start the year off productively! If you have any questions about your classroom technology or workstation, contact the Service Desk at 4-HELP.
