Computer Accounts of Final Year Students
The computer facilities of the Information Technology Services Centre

data files before leaving the University. The expiry date of all your
accounts is set to the last day of the month printed on your CU Link
unless there is a special arrangement between ITSC and your
department/faculty. Individuals looking for an extension of accounts
should apply, two weeks before the expiry date, by sending requests to

TIPS: Use of the Vacation Function on Campus-wide E-mail System
(Mailserv)
When you are out of office attending an overseas conference or taking a
long holiday, you may not be able to read e-mails as usual. You may want
the e-mail system to reply to all the incoming mails automatically while
you are out. You can do it by simply using the vacation function on the
Campus-wide E-mail System (Mailserv). It automatically replies only once
to each sender and you can specify any message you like. For example,
you can ask the sender to contact your subordinate in case of emergency
or urgent business . Check
http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/itsc/network/app/email/vacation.html for details.
User Area Summer Opening hours
During the coming summer vacation, the User Area at Pi Chiu Building and
Wong Foo Yuan Building will be opened as usual. However, all the
training rooms in the Pi-Chiu Building will be closed for seminar
workshops and renovation. The schedule can be found at
http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/itsc/about/opening.html.
Have a happy summer vacation!
