Graduating seniors, don’t lose your stuff! Graduation is an exciting time for every Tiger, but it unfortunately does mean a change to some of the software and services you’ve grown accustomed to during your time at Clemson. Learn how to prepare your technology and data before graduation.
Clemson’s CheckIT technology governance process has new updates to streamline approvals. Submit requests before making any purchase to avoid delays, and have the actual user submit rather than a proxy for faster processing. Recent updates include an expanded exceptions list, particularly for faculty using free research applications on the Palmetto Cluster.
Beware of SEO poisoning, where cybercriminals manipulate search results to push fake websites to the top. These malicious sites can steal your credentials or install malware. Protect yourself by carefully checking URLs for misspellings, being cautious of sponsored results, and typing trusted website addresses directly into your browser instead of searching for them.

Teams of CCIT employees are excited to help new first-year students ensure their laptops are ready for a new semester and academic year. On Friday, August 15 and Tuesday, August 19, students can bring their laptops to workshop sessions for their types of laptops (Windows or macOS). These hour-long sessions will begin at the top of each hour from 10 a.m. through 4 p.m. both days, with the last workshop starting at 3 p.m. each day. These workshops will inform students about CCIT’s software offerings and cover basic set-up topics such as connecting to eduroam for wifi, accessing Adobe products, ensuring their email accounts are working and getting answers to any other questions. Students must register in advance to secure their spot and arrive on time at the start of each session.
