New Semester Recommend Updates for Personal Devices

OIT's Tech Services, Academic Computing, and Academic Labs will prepare all OIT-controlled classroom teaching stations, computer lab workstations, and on-campus office workstations with updates needed to begin the new academic year. Faculty and staff who still have UHCL-owned devices at home should return those to campus as soon as possible. We are only able to update those machines when they are on campus and connected to the on-campus network. Anyone using personal devices for UHCL work at home or while traveling should ensure that you install the latest versions of the following applications and tools on your non-UHCL equipment:

  • Operating System
  • Web Browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari)
  • Mobile Device Operating Systems (e.g., Android, iOS)
  • Zoom App
  • Echo360 Universal Capture

Faculty using Respondus LockDown Browser (LDB) with their online exams should also remind students to update their copy of LDB well in advance of their first exam.
