IT will upgrade all staff and faculty computers during the Winter recess to the latest Microsoft Office 2019 Suite. This is taking place after a successful migration of all Public (student) computers during this past summer. The upgrades will take place overnight with no impact on end-users. Your files and installed programs will remain as they are. We will also have designated technicians on each floor the morning following your upgrade to assist users with any unforeseen issues.
Our anticipated schedule (subject to adjustments) for the upgrade is the following:
Floor Date
C, X, Y & Z 1/6/20
First 1/8/20
Second 1/13/20
Third 1/15/20
Fourth 1/20/20
Fifth 1/21/20
Sixth 1/22/20
Seventh 1/23/20
Eighth 1/24/20
Ninth 1/27/20
Please keep in mind that if you use any software package that is crucial to your work but is not used campus-wide or you've installed yourself, you need to check with the developer to make sure that it is compatible with Office 2019. If you have any questions or concerns or would like to schedule your upgrade sooner, please contact IT Services at itservices@gc.cuny.edu.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and support.

Dear Students,
A notice was just received from CUNY CIS confirming that the FBI has identified successful spearphishing campaigns directed at college and university students, especially during periods when financial aid funds are disbursed in large volumes. In general, the spearphishing emails request students’ login credentials for the University’s internal intranet. The cyber criminals then capture students’ login credentials, and after gaining access, change the students’ direct deposit destination to bank accounts within the threat actor’s control.
If you believe you are a victim of an online scam or malware campaign, please report it to IT Services and consider the following actions:
- Advise your financial institution immediately of any account information that may have been compromised.
- Watch for unexplained charges to your account
- Immediately change any passwords that you might have revealed.
- If you used the same password for multiple websites make sure to change it for each account, and do not use that same password in the future
