What Stays the Same –

You retain access to WesPortal where you can access resources such as scholarly journals through JSTOR and Project Muse, Mango Languages, transcripts, and student information.
Should you need support regarding your account or alum access, you can continue to use ServiceNow to request support.
What Changes –
June 15, 2019
Wireless Access changes
Your wireless network access changes to WesGuest unless you are continuing on in a staff capacity or Graduate student here at Wes. If so, your access would adjust with your new role. If you will still be at Wesleyan in another capacity and lose any of the access mentioned above, please open an incident at ServiceNow.
Lynda.com access ends
Lynda.com access will no longer work through your Wesleyan login. However, Lynda.com will transfer your Wesleyan LyndaCampus usage history to a new Consumer membership. You may do this by contacting Lynda.com and providing your Wesleyan email address.
Library database access ends except for JSTOR, Project Muse, HathiTrust, and SensusAccess. Alumni may access these library resources through WesPortal.
VPN access ends
Note on Research: occasionally there are individuals who are neither continuing studies at Wesleyan nor formally employed, however are doing ongoing research that requires extended access. If you need this access, create an incident at ServiceNow. Please include the faculty for whom you are working and for how long you need to retain your access.
July 31, 2019
WesFiles Access ends
WesFiles is NOT available after July 31. You must download and move any data you wish to keep prior to this date. As of August 15, 2019, your files will be purged from the system and will no longer be recoverable.
If you require an extension, please submit an incident via ServiceNow, provide your username and be sure to provide the date you are requesting to retain access. You must do this prior to July 31.
Microsoft Office Pro Plus installations retired
Wesleyan’s Microsoft Office licensing for local installations on student computers does not persist beyond graduation. Once you become an alumnus, your access to Microsoft Office continues with the online version only. Your version of Office installed on your computer will give you 30 days notification before it will no longer be available to you. You will continue to be able to log into the Office 365 online portal.
Sincerely,
Paul H. Turenne
