IT Tip
In the four months of January through April, there's a big uptick in IRS phish email. These emails generally threaten the user about access to a refund, promise a bigger refund or reference one of the tax software programs (like TurboTax). During this period, treat all email about taxes as a potential phish, and avoid clicking on URLs until you can verify its legitimacy. If you have questions about whether an email is legitimate, forward it to the Technical Assistance Center or to itsecurity@radford.edu.
Banner Tip
Display Options
Banner has a number of options that will display several items on the title bar, including the form name, release number, and database instance. You can also set whether to display the form name on the main menu. To adjust these settings, navigate to File and then Preferences. Check the boxes under Display Options to turn these on.
