In the past users had to register and maintain a separate password to use the Academic Computing Facility. As of today we are now using the campus Active Directory for authentication.

This means that users no longer have to set up a specific password to use the ACF which should speed up the first day of class, and reduce the number of passwords people have to remember.

All workstations in the ACF are now equipped with Microsoft Office 2007 and the Adobe Design Standard CS3 Suite for Windows.  Below are the titles from each package.

Microsoft Office 2007

Access
Excel
Outlook
PowerPoint
Publisher
Word

Adobe Design Standard CS3

Acrobat Pro 8
Acrobat Reader 8
Dreamweaver CS3
Illustrator CS3
InDesign CS3
Photoshop CS3

Painting will take place in the ACF starting next week (May 12-16).  Some workstations may not be accessible (i.e., those close to the walls).  Please see a lab attendant with any concerns.

The results of the Fall 2007 ACES Academic Computing Facility User Survey have been posted. User comments are also available.

The information obtained from the survey is very useful in determining what ACF staff can do to improve your experience in the facility. Thank you once again for your time and effort.

ArcGIS has been upgraded to version 9.2 on all workstations in the Academic Computing Facility.  Please contact a lab attendant for more information on software availability and upgrades.
