FREE Virus Protection for Students
One of the top suggestions that ITS sees in its student survey every year is to provide students with virus protection. The good news is that we do provide this service! If you go to http://its.union.edu/jservices/software.htm, you will see downloads for McAfee's VirusScan (for PC) and McAfee's Virex (for Mac). These may be downloaded and used free of charge by all students.

Information for Graduating Seniors
Graduating Senior Accounts: User accounts for graduating seniors will be kept active through September 30, 2006. After that date, the accounts will be deleted. If you are planning on continuing your education in a graduate program here at Union, you must submit a new Application for Computer Account (AFCA) at the beginning of fall term which indicates your change in status . This will ensure that your account is not deleted with the rest of the Senior accounts. Graduate AFCAs are only available in Lamont House.
If you are not returning to Union College, you should begin moving your email to a new account soon. Do not apply for employment or graduate school using your current Union College email address. Sometimes these types of application procedures can take months. You don't want to chance missing important emails while you transition to a new address.
Alumni Email Accounts: The Office of College Relations offers, as one of many services to Alumni, free lifetime email forwarding. For more information go to: http://www.union.edu/Alumni and click on the link for "Free Lifetime E-mail address" under Alumni Services or send email to alumni@union.edu.
The USTAR TechTeam provides students with a centralized resource for computer support. While virus protection is our primary focus, we provide basic technical support for all ITS supported software, remedy basic networking problems, and assist with some hardware issues. Our technicians are available five days a week, Sunday through Thursday from 6PM to 10PM in the USTAR Office (Olin Learning Center, Room 219).
