The Help Desk was notified yesterday of a large number of email phishing scams targeting Wright State faculty, staff, and students.

As always, you should be very careful before opening attachments from unknown sources, but please pay particular attention to any suspicious emails you received yesterday, July 4. These emails may include attachments containing malware and should NOT be downloaded or opened.

If you have any questions about these scams, or if you have already opened or downloaded any attachments, please contact the CaTS Help Desk immediately. You can reach us at (937) 775-4827, or email helpdesk@wright.edu.

Microsoft recently released Office 2016 for Windows and Mac, featuring updated versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and other popular applications. CaTS is now recommending that Office 2016 be installed on all university-owned computers.

If you currently use a university-owned computer that has Office 2010 or Office 2013 installed, we encourage you to upgrade to Office 2016. You can do this by installing the software through Software Center, or calling the CaTS Help Desk at (937) 775-4827 and requesting the upgrade if you are using a non-domain PC or a Macintosh. The installation is free and in most instances can be done over the phone. For more information on using Software Center, visit https://www.wright.edu/information-technology/services/software-center.

Beginning October 1, 2016, all new computers purchased for university use will have Office 2016 already installed when you receive it, so no upgrade will be necessary.

Office 2016 will also be installed in all computer labs and electronic classrooms by the beginning of the 2016 Fall Semester. If you currently use Microsoft Office in any of your coursework, it is recommended that you begin revising that content to reflect Office 2016.

If you would like to learn more about Office 2016, you can find video tutorials on the Atomic Learning website. Visit the following link and login with your campus “w” username and password to access these videos. https://www.atomiclearning.com/highed/home?q=office+2016&selected_topics=All+topics&selected_categories=

If you have further questions about Office 2016 call the Help Desk at (937) 775-4827, or emailhelpdesk@wright.edu.
 

Final grade submission is currently unavailable through Pilot. Users are still able to enter grades directly through WINGS Express.
