New MacOS Monterey is Out, Not Ready for Campus Computers

submitted by krajewsk@augsburg.edu

Apple has released a new operating system, Monterey. Augsburg-owned Macintoshes should be prevented from doing the upgrade through our management software. This is to prevent things breaking with an upgrade like campus printing. We’ll be testing Monterey and will make it available to Augsburg-owned Macs when we know it won’t break important services like printing.

If you are using a personal Mac and are currently printing to campus printers we recommend not upgrading to Monterey until we’ve tested it out. Campus printing will likely not work after the upgrade based on past experiences.

Students: Check Your Email for Federal Grant Funding Information

submitted by burgessa@augsburg.edu

As a result of funding provided by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, funds are being disbursed to all students enrolled this fall semester. Emails were sent on Friday with information about how to access this funding.

Following guidance by the Department of Education, grant amounts were primarily determined by a student’s program type and their Expected Family Contribution (EFC) from the FAFSA. We understand that students have experienced a multitude of disruptions in the midst of this pandemic, including financial distress. We hope this funding can provide some small relief during this challenging time.

In addition to this federal grant, we also want to remind students whose financial circumstances have changed that a special circumstance application for financial aid is available on the Student Financial Services website. Changed circumstances may include, but are not limited to, job loss, reduction of income, change to household size, one-time sources of income, etc.

Paper Supply Issues

submitted by suter@augsburg.edu

Paper mills have been affected by the global pandemic and output has been down.

One of the big announcements recently is the paper manufacturer Boise has announced they are discontinuing manufacture of all colored copy paper, including the Fireworx line of papers. The Copy Center is working to ensure we keep our regular supply from other suppliers, but due to the current state of the paper industry and supply chain issues, periodically we may not have certain colors, weights, or styles available. We will consult with you if substitutions need to be made on your project. There may also be some price increases in paper. We appreciate your patience as we work through this issue.

Thank you from your Copy Center Staff!
