STUDENT TECHNOLOGY AND ELECTRONIC MAIL REQUIREMENT
UWF prepares students for current and future business and life applications
using basic technology. Each UWF student is expected to:
- Activate a UWF ArgoNet account
- Access the ARGUS web portal 2-3 times a
week
- Access UWF email account (ArgoMail) 2-3
times a week
- Have basic word-processing knowledge
Student use of UWF information technology
resources is governed by the Computing Resources Usage Agreement and the Student
Communications Policy. (See ?My ArgoNet? tab in ARGUS)
The University uses email for both formal and
informal communication with students.
Each student, upon enrolling, is issued a UWF
email account. Students are expected to regularly check their UWF email account
(ArgoMail) for University business and official University communications. UWF
accounts remain the property of the University of West Florida.
Students should expect that instructors may
request assignments be completed on a computer and/or be turned in via email
rather than printed. Instructors should ensure that basic assignments can be
completed using software packages currently available in the ArgoNet labs or
virtual lab ?eDesktop? environment.
