Now that the Apple iPad is widely available for purchase (visit the UNH Computer Store), it’s time to get to know its features and find out what Apple’s latest product can do.

The iPad operates in very similar fashion to the iPhone, minus the phone. The iPad is thin, lightweight, and has an attractive 9.7-inch LED backlit display. With wireless 802.11n, Bluetooth, and 3G (3G requires an AT&T contract), you can take the iPad just about anywhere and still be connected. The iPad has up to 10 hours of battery life and has three sizes of flash storage available – 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB. Continue reading ‘Review: Apples iPad’

UNH E-mail is only available while students are actively enrolled at UNH.  If you leave UNH for any reason (graduation, leave of absence, etc.), your student E-mail account will be deleted approximately 4 months after you leave UNH. For students leaving UNH, take these steps to avoid losing any E-mail messages or files:

1. Set up an Alumni E-mail Address by filling out the online application form. This will give you a permanent your.name@alumni.unh.edu E-mail address. This forwards E-mail to any Internet account. You can keep this alias as long as you want, changing the account which it forwards to as you establish different E-mail accounts. This address is good to use for job or school applications as well as personal correspondence. Continue reading ‘Save Your Email Before You Leave UNH!’

This is a reminder that University policy requires UNH computer account passwords be changed at least every 6 months. We urge you to follow this practice for your protection.
