Farewell to Novell
As of the Summer of 2006 Novell use has been eliminated from the UMF campus.
For students with EXCEL laptops, this change will have an affect on 2 aspects of campus computing:
- Printing in the 24 hour lab of the Computer Center
- H drive access
What should you do about this?
Bring your laptop into the EXCEL Support Center in the Computer Center where we will remove Novell from your computer and reinstall the Computer Center printers.
For new ways to access the H drive, visit the Computer Center’s H Drive help page.
