Wichita State’s Information Technology Services (ITS) is kicking off a program to create a more robust ecosystem for faculty, staff and students. In support of this objective on May 24, ITS will be updating the logins for cloud-based applications like Blackboard and Microsoft365. The goal is to improve availability of cloud-based services in the event of local system outages.

Users may notice minor differences in the login experience, but the login process will remain the same. Users will continue to log in using their myWSU ID and password. Re-authentication for applications that are already logged in or that remember your logins, such as Microsoft Teams, may be required.

For more information, contact the ITS Help Desk at helpdesk@wichita.edu or 316-978-HELP, Option 1.

Reminder:  An ePAF Refresher session is scheduled for today at 9:30 a.m. in 208 Hubbard Hall.

This event is designed for current Wichita State employees who complete ePAFs. We will be going over ePAF issues, questions, and concerns as well as any upcoming changes to the ePAF process.

Topics will include the following:

• Quick run-through on how to fill out an ePAF
• Discussion on common questions
• Tour of helpful ePAF resources
• Upcoming changes to ePAFs

Who should attend? The session is designed for current ePAF originators. ePAF approvers are welcome to attend if interested.

Registration for the event is available in myTraining.
