Beginning in the fall 2024 semester, students will find a loaner laptop kiosk located in the atrium in front of Cooper 1520. Students who need to borrow a laptop for exams will simply type in their username and password at the kiosk and be able to borrow a laptop for a period of 8 hours.

Week of August 12

Horizon VDI Changes

August 15: The Lancaster VDI environment was updated to align with your SJU credentials.

In order to complete the above action items, you will retain access to your previous PA College desktop profile until Monday, September 30.  To access your PA College profile you will need to be on campus and log into Horizon VDI with your PA College email and password.

The Teams phone system, Legacy PA College Portal, Outlook, Office 365 and CloudDriveMapper will still use your legacy PA College email address and password.

Eduroam Wireless Network

August 16: To join the Eduroam network, you will use your full SJU email address and password and accept the certificate while on campus. Full instructions are found here.

Shared Mailbox Voicemail Changes

August 16: Shared mailbox voicemails were transitioned to a Google Collaborative Inbox. When callers leave a voicemail message, it will be sent to the Google Group and Collaborative Inbox. Users were sent direct communication if this change impacted them.

The functionality with this new process will be similar to what you were used to with the shared mailbox. For full details on how to use the Google Collaborative Inbox, please read the information in the linked Google article. When receiving a voicemail to this Google Group, you can choose to manage it from your inbox or through the Collaborative Inbox. Please adjust your business process in the way that makes sense for your team.

Future Updates
