Turn it off!
In an effort to cut down on power usage and save dollars for the campus, IT is now recommending that you power off, or shut down, your office computer when leaving each night EXCEPT for Wednesday night.
On Wednesday when you leave, please “restart” your computer which logs you off but leaves the computer powered on so that it can receive security updates overnight. All other nights you can “shut down” your computer.
For even more savings, you should power off your monitor and printer as well.
IT plans to power off computers in the student labs also. At this time we are investigating how to do this with an automated process. Faculty teaching in a lab the first class of the day will need to allow time for computers to be powered on and boot up.
Classroom tech desk computers need to remain on to interact with the anti-theft monitoring system. Be sure to log off but leave these computers powered on.
