Listed below are some things we've published before but warrant a reminder: Just in case you forgot or missed it the first time around:

• Student SAS Distribution Policy Changed - As of the end of the Spring 2008 semester, on May 12, 2008, Academic Computing and User Services will no longer distribute SAS to students via the UNT Bookstore. Students who wish to acquire SAS to complete class assignments are recommended to purchase the SAS Learning Edition which is available via e-Academy, where the SAS Learning Edition for Students is available for $60. More information can be found at the SAS Learning Edition webpage and in the April issue of Benchmarks Online.

• IT Help is Here -- A new resource is available for those needing help with Information Technology at UNT. The Helpdesk Central page has been replaced with a new "IT Help Center" site which will make it even easier for customers (anyone with an EUID and password) to submit a request for IT support. The IT Help Center is one-stop shopping for making requests for IT support. Click here to read more about the IT Help Center.
