Meeting rooms are bookable through your admin person. AS 2034 and AS 2036 still use a sign-up sheet located outside the boardrooms.

�մǾ��𳾲�� 

An interim solution for voicemail for critical campus numbers is being developed until a broader solution can be explored.  

Campus Emergency Notification

To ensure you receive campus emergency notifications, please download MUNSafe as that will be the main notification tool in the event of an emergency.

P-Drive retrieval 

It’s critical that any information that’s stored on the old P-Drive be retrieved. There is a risk that the back-up on the temporary network is not secure, and the network needs to be disabled as soon as possible. �įITS is also working to get Teams and Sharepoint data, so reach out if you need that data. 

The IT Oversight group has set October 31, 2024, as the deadline to retrieve all data. This includes P-drive, shared drives, Teams, and Sharepoint data. �įIf you haven’t yet retrieved your data, contact ITS immediately.
