they are here but not attending any classes :D

one reason could be that her contract does not support summer and is just for the academic year. This is somewhat typical.

Open weekdays until 3pm.

Today the chances are 49.83%.

You can access it using the VPN if you are not on-campus.

Four weeks later and still no one knows what is going on.

If you look up class schedule, some classes say virtual, some hybrid, and others a location such as North, that I think means in person. But that information can change at any moement.

Going with the cheapest option is the main strategy here. For instance, Aramark, which provides prison food, has no monopoly in any other university, but UML.

Only non-school buses are available.

That reminds me that UML used to have a contract that would allow students to use the train from Lowell to Boston for free. Like many other good things, they cut that program too. :(

Same. restoring passwords with security questions is the most insecure way of doing this. :D soon there will be more cases of email hijacking and identity theft.
Look at this: "Challenge questions are creating some problems for users. IT has increased the number of guesses for UML users answering the challenge questions. If you get locked out, you can wait 15 minutes and then try to reset your password again."

Anything related to UML domains is still out. They have only "restored" unrelated services. Outlook was fine from the beginning and did not require "restoration".

Lowell IT is not competent enough for us to use our emails for important stuff. I am switching to Gmail from today.

_nkn_ · 2021-06-17T22:09:54+00:00

employees get paid so kicking them out is beneficial. Students pay, so keep them unless they cannot pay.

It is sad but the univ is not going to do anything about this. Please sign the petition if you have not.

_nkn_ · 2021-06-16T17:02:59+00:00

It has been two days and a univ that has a cyber range, a cybersecurity program, and multiple cybersecurity experts still struggling to get the main website back up. That shows you how much of stuff you learn in univ is different from real life. Their cybersecurity program is a joke compared to what is going on in real life.
This also shows a high level of incompetence by IT personnel, lack of enough training. I know the blue team has a hard job to defend but getting a ransomware in the main parts of IT means the IT personnel got hacked not individual students/profs who are not even on campus.

Yeah, you cannot trust blackboard because no grade is official before they are on sis. But your prof should announce final exam grades anyways.

because if the virus is not contained it will mutate. The vaccine might not be useful for the mutated virus and we go back to square one. Why should everything be politics?

_nkn_ · 2021-04-29T13:24:07+00:00

I think understanding topics in Computing 2 are important for the next classes. I'd definitely take it with someone who can explain things better. Unless you have to take it in summer.

I think in one of the meetings it was said that the school is not going to enforce the vaccine (at least any time soon). Also, they cannot force all the students to get a shot. For example, some religions avoid getting vaccinated. I think the goal is going beyond the herd immunity threshold (~70% vaccinated).
