A message from Information Technolgy. As a reminder, all university devices must be updated to Windows 11 by Friday, October 10, 2025. We began communicating this requirement last academic year and now we are approaching the final deadline. If you have not yet scheduled a time with IT to perform the upgrade, please be aware that there is a hard cut-off date.

• Microsoft will officially end service for Windows 10 on October 14.
• To prevent service disruptions, IT requires that all devices be upgraded by October 10.
• Users who have not updated may lose access to critical university resources.

For those pressed for time, IT can provide a like-for-like device swap (same make and model). If you choose this option, please ensure all of your files are backed up beforehand.

If you are unsure whether your device has already been upgraded, or if you still need to schedule an appointment, please contact IT Support as soon as possible.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our technology secure and supported.

The SPU Store is hosting a new free book wall in the lounge area in front of the mailing services counter. This was started by students who wanted to donate their course materials at the end of Spring Quarter. Donated books are free to take! We are looking for book donations that may be of interest to students, staff, and faculty or members of the SPU community. If you have books you no longer need or course materials that students could use, please feel free to add them to our wall or drop them at the Falcon Advantage desk and we will add them for you.
