IT Security Tip
When traveling, don't leave your laptop in the car – not on the seat, not in the trunk. Parked cars are a favorite target of laptop thieves; don't help them by leaving your laptop unattended.
IT Tip
You can tap the space bar to scroll down one screen on a Web page. Add the Shift key to scroll back up.
Accessibility Tip
Visually impaired individuals using screen readers often move through a page by tabbing from link to link. "Click here" does not give the impaired individual information about what the link is about. Instead, use words that describe the link, such as "Financial Aid Information."
