There appears to be some confusion with updates and patches on your PCs. These patches must be done in a timely fashion. In order to accomplish this, we use tools provided to us by CIT.

In order to make these tools run efficiently and to limit delays and downtime for you, Chemistry IT kindly requests that during the work week, please do NOT shut off your computer, but instead sign out/ log off. The computer remains on, and your files are safely protected by your password. Your computer does NOT need to be on over weekends or long holidays.

If you don’t know how to sign out/ log off of your computer, please contact Chemistry IT for assistance. Thank you.
