Campus Wireless Certificate Update
Overnight Thursday, June 4th

Overnight tonight, IT will update the security certificate for the ccsu-bluenet and eduroam wireless networks.
 
What to Expect:
  • Apple devices (Macs, iPhones, iPads) may prompt you to "Trust" the new certificate the next time you connect on campus. Tap "Trust" to automatically reconnect.
  • CCSU-owned Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices will update automatically if left powered on. If not, you may need to connect via a wired connection on campus to receive the update.
 
If you need help after the update, please contact the Technology Support Center at x21720. 

Teaching this Summer? Your Classroom Software Requests are Needed

The IT department has updated all campus classrooms to the new Windows 11 and macOS operating systems. This upgrade requires us to reinstall specialized software, such as Minitab, BlueJ, Adobe Creative Cloud, and other discipline-specific software. Standard software such as SPSS, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft OneDrive are installed by default.
 
If you need specialized software installed in your classroom for Fall, please submit your classroom software requests via the Software Installation for Classrooms and Labs form in the IT Service Request system.

Upgrade to Apple macOS Sequoia

All faculty and staff Mac computers must be upgraded to Apple macOS Sequoia. This is especially important for Mac computers running macOS Ventura (13.x), as there are security vulnerabilities impacting this operating system version.
 
To ensure continued security and compliance with CCSU IT policies, please submit an Apple macOS Upgrade Request to upgrade to macOS Sequoia (15.x) as soon as possible.

Windows 11 Upgrade Reminder

As of October 2025, Microsoft has officially ended support for Windows 10, meaning it no longer receives standard security updates, patches, or technical support. 
 
To ensure continued security and compliance with CCSU IT policies, all faculty and staff using Windows 10 devices must submit a Windows 11 Upgrade Request to upgrade to Windows 11.

Scheduled System Maintenance

Thursday Night Reboot

Every Thursday at 11:59 PM, mandatory updates are sent to all CCSU-owned Windows and Mac computers. To ensure these updates install properly, please save your work and sign out before ending your day. Leave your computer powered on, plugged in, and connected to the internet, whether you're on or off campus. If updates aren’t applied overnight, your computer may be temporarily unusable the next time you log in, and interrupting the update process could lead to system issues requiring repair.

Sunday System Maintenance

Every Sunday from 12am-12pm all systems (e-mail, Central Pipeline, wireless, etc.), will be intermittently unavailable while important maintenance and updates are performed.
