Now we'd like you to tell us how we can further expand our mobile services to make your University experience better. If you use your mobile device on the Canterbury or Medway campus we would like to invite you to complete this short survey:
https://survey.kent.ac.uk/mobile_devices_2012

The survey is completely anonymous but you will be given the option to enter your Kent username if you would like to take part in a focus group or allow us to contact you for more information.

If you are using Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7 you should do the following as a matter of urgency

Please ensure you have installed the latest updates from Apple, which will fix the security flaw and remove the malware if it's present. Follow these instructions to enable automatic updates, and update now:

1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu
2. Choose Software Update
3. Ensure the Check for updates option is ticked, and set to Weekly or Daily
4. Ensure that Download updates automatically is also ticked
5. Click the Check Now button
6. Click Install
7. Enter your Mac password if prompted
 
You may need to restart your Mac when the updates have completed.

If you are using Mac OS X 10.5 or below you should upgrade

You must upgrade to at least version 10.6 in order to connect to any Kent networks including eduroam and VPN. This is because no security updates are available for older versions of this operating system.

All Mac users should install antivirus software

If you do not already have antivirus software, please install some. A free product is available from Sophos for personally-owned Macs, which can be downloaded from their website:
http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-edition.aspx

Please contact the IT Helpdesk if you require further advice.

The app features:

• Access to Uni essentials in one place – course timetables, PC availability, travel info and SMS alerts.
• Links to useful info - department A-Z, twitter directory of academic schools, support services and experts at Kent.
• Medway info – includes info for the Medway campus.
• Web browser access – no app store download needed.
• Automatic updates – no need to upgrade to the latest version.
• Compatibility – works well on the majority of devices used at Kent.

The app was developed to work on as many devices as possible, and driven by the needs of Kent students.  In 2010/11 the mobile survey and follow-up focus groups revealed that students mostly wanted to be able to access timetables and check PC availability on their phones, and that they wanted to find information without trawling websites or seeking out the relevant department.

Feedback on the app is welcomed, as improvements and additions will be made on an on-going basis. Current plans for further development include:

• Time management tools e.g. View My Deadlines, Marks Alert.
• Room finder.
• Mobile-friendly web pages across the main web site.

To submit your feedback, use the yellow bubble icon on the app.

If you experience access issues with SDS please try again later if you aren't able to access the service straight away. 

Please avoid using the Chrome web browser when accessing SDS. For the best experience, we advise using Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari instead.

Please check the IT service alerts for updates: http://www.kent.ac.uk/is/computing/motd.html

You should urgently do the following:

Staff:

If your work Windows PC receives automatic Windows updates, reboot it immediately to ensure that any patches which have been downloaded and are waiting to be installed are applied.

If your PC is not automatically updated then make sure you apply outstanding patches without delay.

Staff and students:

If you have your own personal PC or laptop, make sure it has the latest Microsoft updates (which were made available for download on Tuesday 13 March 2012).
http://www.update.microsoft.com

Do not access the internet with privileged accounts (any account with administrator privileges). This gives some protection from new security exploits not yet blocked by anti-virus software.

PCs running an unsupported version of Windows – pre XP Service Pack 3 - cannot be patched and should not be connected to the Kent network.

Note that campus Student PCs in Libraries and PC rooms have already been patched.

The change will not affect the way you login – simply enter your Kent username and password as usual.

SDS web access will be unavailable for one hour between 8 - 9am on Tuesday 27 March, whilst this change is being implemented.

We apologise for any inconvenience. If the issue caused problems with assignments, please quote IS Helpdesk ticket number 150721 to your academic school if they request confirmation of the interruption.
