Changes to IT Security Awareness Training

Information Technology Services (ITS) is making important changes to George Mason University’s IT Security Awareness Training Program. This year’s training opens Wednesday, Sept. 28, and will close Wednesday, Nov. 16. Notification will be sent when the training is assigned.

Employees who fail to take the training by the deadline will have their accounts disabled, and their supervisors or manager will be notified. If your account is disabled, you will need to contact the ITS Support Center to re-enable it to take the training.

Employees who handle sensitive information will be required to take additional role-based training.

The training provides information about protecting Mason’s IT systems and employees’ information, which is a priority for ITS.

Transition to eduroam Wi-Fi Network

Mason faculty, staff, and students (in non-residence halls) are encouraged to transition to the eduroam network when connecting to Wi-Fi on campus. The Mason-Secure Wi-Fi network will remain available for some time but is no longer the primary supported network at Mason. Make the switch and set up your devices.

If you have any questions or experience issues connecting to eduroam, contact the ITS Support Center at 703-993-8870 or support@gmu.edu.
