As many of you know, we have a new automated phishing prevention system. I am advising all our users to utilize the "Phish Alert Button" in Outlook (image attached).
If you receive a suspected phishing email, clicking on the Phish Alert Report button will remove it from your email and quarantine it for analysis. And even better, through your reporting, ITS systems will automatically look for similar emails on university servers and remove them from other accounts. In this way, you are acting as a "human firewall" to protect yourself and the wider campus community from these social engineering attacks. Report with confidence...If you (accidentally) falsely report a phishing email, the analysis engine will release it back to you.

For financial aid you must be full-time; registered for 12 or more credits. If you are waitlisted for a course you are not registered for it and those credits are not counted.
For your aid to be processed correctly you must actually register for an alternate course. The alternate course also serves as a back up if you are not able to get into the waitlisted course. You do not want to scramble the first week of classes trying to find an open course.

Martin Luther King, Jr. described the "Beloved Community" as a society where "caring and compassion drive political policies that support the worldwide elimination of poverty and hunger and all forms of bigotry and violence. At its core, the 'Beloved Community' is an engine of reconciliation.
On January 13, 2023, in celebration of the King Holiday, The King Center is calling on educational institutions and organizations around the globe to join us for a worldwide Teach-In. The purpose of the Beloved Community Teach-In is to educate people of all ages about Dr. and Mrs. King's legacy and how to champion completion of their unfinished work.
The theme for the 2023 King Holiday Observance is "It Starts with Me: Cultivating a Beloved Community Mindset to Transform Unjust Systems."
The theme is to reinforce the knowledge, skills and dispositions students need to not only to be positive contributors to creation of the community" but also to succeed in their respective life paths.

In the email, include the language (French, German or Spanish) in which you would like to be tested. You must pre-register by Thursday, January 19th.
Who should take a Placement Exam?
Students who have taken more than two years of French, German or Spanish in high school and who intend to take the same language at AU should take the exam in that language.
Students who are bilingual or native speakers of French, German or Spanish (or who have spoken the language at home) should take the exam in that language.
Who does not need to take a Placement Exam?
Students who are planning to take French, German or Spanish in college but have NOT studied that language in High School (or spoken it at home) do not need to take an exam. They should start by taking 101 in their chosen language.
Students who wish to demonstrate proficiency in a language OTHER THAN French, German or Spanish should contact Prof. S. Singer (fsinger@alfred.edu) about procedures for taking a Placement Exam through another institution.

Information Technology Services is pleased to continue offering Zoom to the campus community. In order to ensure the quality and availability of this service, AU routinely deletes old recordings from our instance of Zoom. This is scheduled twice per year, in the winter and summer. All recordings made prior to December 1, 2022 will be deleted on February 28, 2023. Users are encouraged to examine their recordings and download any items that need to be saved. This routine maintenance will allow us to continue to provide Zoom for classes and meetings. Any questions on this matter can be directed to the ITS Helpdesk. Thank you for your cooperation.
