PayPaw down Sunday – Monday, May 15-16

Auxiliary Enterprises reports:

Beginning at 12:00 AM on Saturday May 14th, and lasting until 4:30 PM on Friday, May 20th, migration work will begin on our Blackboard application. Blackboard is the system utilized to manage the Pay Paw declining card service. During this period Pay Paw processing will be sporadic across the entire campus and may affect the bookstores, wellness center, cafeteria, vending machines, copiers and printers. Even though Pay Paw payments will still be accepted during this period, there may be moments where certain readers will be down. It is advised that all Pay Paw users bring a second form of payment in the event a Pay Paw reader is not functioning. This migrations is necessary for our vendor to update our dated Blackboard system to the most current version available.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

3D Printing at Dental Library on Wednesdays and Fridays Only

The Dental Library has now designated two weekdays for 3D printing jobs: Wednesday and Friday.

We understand that the noise generated by the 3D printer can be distracting. At the same time, we want this technology to be openly available and conveniently usable for all students and faculty. As a compromise, we will restrict 3D printing to Wednesdays and Fridays so everyone will be guaranteed quality time in the library.

It should be noted that we may not always have 3D print projects going on the designated days; likewise, we may have to start a priority project on an off day. So please bear with us as we try to provide an accessible educational space for everyone to study, learn, and discover.

Come try out our 3D printer on Wednesdays and Fridays!
