As of January 14, 2020, Microsoft will discontinue support for its Windows 7 Operating System. If you are running Windows 7 or older, your machine will no longer receive security updates or fixes, software updates, and/or technical support. Without security patches, these systems will be easy targets for hackers, malware, and viruses.

ÐÇ¿ÕÎÞÏÞ´«Ã½ University requires that devices connected to the network run software for which security patches are made available in a timely fashion. After support ends, Windows 7 will no longer be in compliance with campus policy.

ÐÇ¿ÕÎÞÏÞ´«Ã½ University is already in the process of upgrading University-owned machines to Windows 10.  For users that Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) to campus or have an unmanaged Windows device, you will be required to upgrade your Windows 7 machine to Windows 10 to connect to the network. Please make plans to upgrade your personal or unmanaged device now to prevent any unintended connectivity issues accessing University sites.
