Impact on UA ServicesImpact on UA Services
• Student Tech Fee Committee decision– UA services for students have been de-funded– Thus, they will migrate to cloud soon...
• Email– No new student Deskmail accounts as of Jan 2010– Phase out of student email servers later in 2010– Students may continue to use consumer accts
or UW – provided MS and Google accts
• Web publishing, etc– Roadmap will be developed during Fall quarter
