Tech Tip: Lock Your Computer!

LOCK YOUR COMPUTER WHEN YOU STEP AWAY EVEN FOR A MOMENT!

If you walk away from your computer and do not lock it or log off, it poses a security risk to you and your school. Someone can use your computer in an unauthorized way even if you are away for only a few minutes. 

Some examples include:

·       Send email from your account

·       Tamper with or delete attendance or grades

·       Access and download confidential data

The easiest way to prevent unauthorized access to your computer is to lock it when you are away. You will not shut down any programs or close any files you are working on. All you have to do to get back in is enter your password and you can pick up where you left off. 

Hold down the WINDOWS button on your keyboard then press the letter L.

TRex/ Advanced TRex, GPA/Rank, and Transcript Troubleshooting

This session will cover TRex Basics and Advanced TRex troubleshooting. We will go into detail where the fields are pulling from, how to correct them in the .xml file and in the Skyward. Also, this session will cover GPA/Rank troubleshooting by covering the grade history tab, overrides, and how GPA is calculated. Lastly, the course will review programming logic for transcripting—how Skyward determines what transcript descriptions and methods are used to override unit descriptions.

Target Audience:
