by ·Comments Off on Policy Change to Usage of Google Workspace for Alumni

As a result of Google’s updated policies and licensing terms, ITS is implementing a policy change to how alumni can use Google Workspace at Denison, effective January 9, 2025.

What do I need to do?

What’s changing?

  • On 1/9/2025, Denison will lower your storage allocation to 5GB in Google Workspace, including Gmail, Drive, Docs, and Photos.
  • IMPORTANT: you must log in at least once every 12 months to retain your Denison Google Workspace account as an alum. If you forward your email, please ensure you log in directly at apps.denison.edu to keep your account active. If more than 12 months elapse without a login, your account will be disabled. After another 12 months of inactivity, the account will be permanently deleted, and all data will be lost. 

Services You Keep

  • You may continue to access your Denison email through MyDenison or apps.denison.edu. It’s a great way to stay connected to fellow alums.
  • You may also continue to use Google Workspace apps, including Calendar, Chat, Drive, and Meet.

by ·Comments Off on [RESOLVED] UNPLANNED OUTAGE: Intermittent Denison Phone Call Audio Issues

Update 10/11/2024 5:55PM:

The phone vendor has implemented a fix and subsequent tests have indicated the audio issue appears to be resolved.

If you experience a problem with not being able to hear a caller, please report the issue to the Denison operator over the weekend (740-587-0810) or to the ITS Service Desk during the week (740-587-6395 or servicedesk@denison.edu). Please report the calling number, your Denison phone number, and the date/time of the call.

Update 10/11/2024 2:58PM:

The phone vendor is continuing to work to diagnose and correct the issue. Additional updates will be posted here as soon as they are available.

Original Post 10/11/2024 11:59AM

ITS has received reports of intermittent audio issues with incoming calls from non-Denison phone numbers. The caller can hear the Denison party, but the Denison party cannot hear the caller. The issue does not recur when the caller calls back. This has been reported to the phone vendor as an urgent issue and is actively being investigated. Updates will be posted here.

Workaround: If you receive a call and cannot hear the caller, please let the caller know you cannot hear them and request that they call back.

If you have any questions, please contact the ITS Service Desk at 740-587-6395 or servicedesk@denison.edu.
