Here's an update of what C&IT is working on for the new 2018 fall semester.

Wi-Fi

• C&IT is rolling out a new wireless service across campus. In addition to switching to a new provider, we are also updating existing access points and adding additional hardware in areas with connectivity issues. Learn more about connecting to our Wi-Fi at tech.wayne.edu/wireless.
• WSU-SECURE encrypts the data from your computer to the wireless access point and offers the most secure connection for Wayne State students, while WSU-PUBLIC is reserved for guests and visitors. Learn how to connect with your AccessID and password at kb.wayne.edu/113550.

Canvas

Wayne State is switching from Blackboard to Canvas this fall 2018 semester. After Aug. 31, you won’t be able to access Blackboard at all. If you haven't had a class in Canvas yet, log in at canvas.wayne.edu and check out our Introduction to Canvas course. Have questions? Faculty can reach out to lmsadmin@wayne.edu and students should contact the C&IT Help Desk at 313-577-4357.

Password security

Did you know that you can now create a password that will never expire? The password must include at least 14 characters, one special character, and follow Wayne State’s Strong Password Standard.
