Overseas and need our help?Is jy oorsee en het ons nodig?

Friday, October 18th, 2013

Previously you could only reach us by phone or e-mail, then you could follow our blog and tweets.

Now you can contact us via Skype when you’re overseas and in dire need of some computer related assistance.

Save yourself those exorbitant international call costs and look for us on Skype by searching for helpinfo@sun.ac.za or the username itstellenuni.

`n Paar jaar gelede kon jy ons net bel of e-pos stuur, toe kon jy ons blog lees en tweets volg.

Nou kan jy selfs op ons nommer druk as jy oorsee is en sukkel met `n rekenaarverwante probleem.

Spaar jouself die buitensporige internasionale oproepkostes en kom kuier vir ons op Skype deur te soek na helpinfo@sun.ac.za of die gebruikersnaamitstellenuni.

Laptops now more affordable for studentsSkootrekenaars nou meer bekostigbaar vir studente

Wednesday, June 6th, 2012

Students gain access to the campus network and It systems via approximately 2500 computers in RGA’s. In addition to this access the aim is to encourage students to increasingly use their own laptops or tablets.  In line with this initiative competitive prices for laptops were negotiated by means of a country-wide student laptop project. The computers have been tested and approved by the IT-department of the SU and are therefore being recommended to students.

The products are well priced with a considerable discount on the fixed price list of some of the models. All models come standard with Windows 7 and Office 10 Pro – another saving of R1200-00.

Models ranging from entry-level to advanced – four each from both Acer and Lenovo – have been chosen. The specifications are equivalent per category and you can therefore easily choose the brand that suits your needs best.

You can order your laptop online directly from the manufacturers by following the links below:

DISCLAIMER STATEMENT: PURCO, on behalf of the South African universities, negotiated prices with specific suppliers for specific laptops that are now being offered to qualifying students. All transactions relating to the procurement of the laptops will be between the computer supplier and the end-user. Neither PURCO nor the universities are in a position to guarantee the quality of the product or related services.

important infoYou have to be a prospective or current student with a student number to qualify. If you need any information or additional assistance, please contact us at laptop@sun.ac.za or 021 808 9111.

Studente kry reeds toegang tot die kampusnetwerk en IT-stelsels d.m.v. ongeveer 2500 rekenaars in RGAs. Addisioneel tot hierdie fasiliteite in RGAs word voorsien dat studente toenemend hul eie draagbare skoot- of tabletrekenaars na die kampus sal bring. In lyn met hierdie inisiatief is daar deur ’n landswye studente-skootrekenaarprojek mededingende pryse vir skootrekenaars beding. Hierdie rekenaars is getoets en goedgekeur deur die US se IT-afdeling en word aanbeveel vir studente.

Die produkte is billik geprys met `n aansienlike afslag op die vasgestelde pryslys vir sommige modelle. Alle modelle word standaard uitgereik met Windows 7 en Office 10 Pro – nog `n besparing van R1200-00.

Twee rekenaarhandelsmerke, Acer and Lenovo is gekies en elke verskaffer het vier verskillende opsies: Van intreevlak tot gevorderd. Die spesifikasies van die vier modelle is dieselfde by beide verskaffers. Jy kan dus besluit watter handelsmerk en model jou die beste pas.

Jy kan jou skootrekenaar direk by die verskaffers koop deur te kliek op die onderskeie skakels.

IT at your doorstepIT op jou drumpel

Friday, April 20th, 2012

One of these days you’ll have the opportunity to voice your opinions and complaints on IT issues once every two months in your own faculty.

As part of IT’s ongoing initiative to improve communication with the rest of campus, faculty representatives were recently allocated to each faculty. With this initiative all staff have the opportunity to give input, ideas and suggestions regarding IT matters. This will also enable IT to solve problems faster and establish where potential problems and bottle-necks may occur.

IT representatives will contact key staff members in each faculty shortly to arrange the first meeting:

IT REPRESENTATIVES FACULTY
   
Marita de Koker & André Elms Theology
   
 
 
   
   
Clayton Adonis & Quintus Roos Science
   
   
Bradley van der Venter & Clive Layman Law
   
 
 
   
Regan Janari & Leanne Farao Sport
   
 
 
   
Neels Blom & Zanfrick Witbooi AgriSciences
   
   
   
Tian Petersen & Clint Adams Education
   
   
Peter Grift & Ryan Leroux Ecomonics
   
   
   
George Whitehead & Ronel Reynecke Engineering
Paul de Kock & Basil Pietersen  
   
 

Een van die dae sal jy eenkeer elke twee maande al jou navrae en klagtes kan stem gee by jou eie IT-fakulteitsbeampte.

As deel van IT se voortdurende pogings om kommunikasie met kampus te verbeter, is fakulteitsbeamptes in elke fakulteit onlangs aangewys. Met hierdie inisiatief sal daar twee-maandeliks insette, idees en voorstelle van gebruikers op kampus via hul eie verteenwoordigers ontvang word. In die proses sal dit Informasietegnologie in staat stel om vinniger probleme op te los en ook te bepaal waar daar spesifieke knelpunte en potensiële probleme mag ontstaan.

IT verteenwoordigers sal binnekort sleutelpersone binne elke fakulteit kontak om reëlings te tref vir die eerste kontaksessie:
