Service Interruptions

New Google Login Screen

Starting April 10, 2017 Google is beginning a phased rollout of a new login screen.

This new login will remove the option to ‘stay signed in’ and instead will default to that setting.

The University is recommending that all students, staff and faculty remember to log out of Google (chrome browser, gmail, drive) before logging out of public use computers. This includes computers in the library, laptops borrowed from Circulation and computers in the labs. Please see the following blog post from ITS Security for more information:
