Our Classroom Computers Are Getting An Update!
|
In May, when Spring semester has ended, all classroom computers will be reimaged and updated to Windows 11 to maintain performance and provide better security.
What does that mean?
|
- Anything you have saved on your profile on a classroom computer will be erased.
-
When you go into the classroom, your profile will have to be rebuilt—and that will take a few minutes. Please plan ahead!

Microsoft Office 365 is Coming to UAH Classrooms |
To provide better support and a more robust experience for faculty, Microsoft Office 2021 on the classroom computers will be replaced with Microsoft Office 365 when they are reimaged in May.
What Will Change
When you open PowerPoint or any other Microsoft Office app, you will be prompted to login to a Microsoft account. You do not have to do this to run your presentation. If you have an account and want to use it, you may login.
You will need to log in to use all the functions in the software like adding or changing animations in PowerPoint.
|
Want to Test Drive the new MS Windows 11 in the Classroom? |
Email helpdesk@uah.edu to set up a time to “test drive” Windows 11 in a classroom podium and check out Office 365 with your teaching workflow.
|
Software on Classroom Computers |
Starting in Fall 2023, any software installed on classroom computers must go through an External Tool approval process that includes a cybersecurity and legal review.
To start the process, complete this form and you will be emailed further instructions.
Note: This process will take approximately three to six (~3–6) months to complete depending on vendor responsiveness. Also, very little freeware will meet the criteria needed to be installed.
Software used on a personal device in the classroom does not have to be reviewed.
