Security Updates and Spam
Security updates
The web world has increasingly become a target for malicious malware
and viruses. Open vulnerabilities in operating systems and browsers
are just two of the many ways computing devices come under

updates. Also, keep your Anti-virus software up-to-date.
Periodically run scans to check for viruses and malware to
protect your system from any harm.
Spam
ITS will never ask for confidential information
such as usernames and passwords via email. Please do not
click or respond to any such emails as these typically
are embedded with viruses.
When in doubt please contact the Help desk immediately!

IIT Print Channel is for MC printing only and not for use at
the DTC
Please note that student printing at Chicago-Kent is separate
from the process used on Main Campus - you should not use the
IIT Printing Channel in the my.iit.edu portal. If you have used
the channel to add money for printing, please contact the
Main Campus Help Desk at supportdesk@iit.edu for a refund.
At Chicago-Kent, students receive credit for $28 worth of
free printing per semester which is equivalent to 400 pages
of black and white printing at $0.07 per side; any printing
beyond 400 pages is charged at a rate of $0.07 per side for
black and white and $.15 per side for color.
All Chicago-Kent printing – both free and charged – is
managed by the Law School’s own printing system. You can
add money to your account at the station located in the 9th
floor photocopy room in the Library.
