Share technology checklist with students leaving K-State
Faculty and staff can share these tips with students who have graduated and/or leaving K-State, so they can better manage their K-State technology channels and resources.
- Students can now keep their K-State email accounts. The eID must be kept active by meeting K-State's password-change deadlines each semester.
- Review your mailing list subscriptions. Unsubscribe from those you no longer need, and clean out email messages from old lists.
- Copy files you're entitled to keep, including those on your computer, K-State storage spaces, and personal webpage — www.k-state.edu/youreID.
- Remove software on your personal computer that was received under a Kansas State University site license, including K-State's TrendMicro antivirus software. Be sure to install another antivirus product; see Wikipedia's comparison of antivirus software.
- If you've been living in a residence hall, point your computer back to the Microsoft Windows Update Service. No matter where you go, your computer will continue to get automatic updates from Microsoft.
