OneSpelman: Instructor Stations – Tap and Go is No More
Fall semester 2016, instructor workstations remained unlocked to accommodate Phase II of the OneSpelman project. Beginning Spring Semester (January 18, 2017) instructor stations returned to secure workstations requiring log-in with OneSpelman login credentials to access instructor computers in all classrooms/labs. The log-in credentials are the same credentials used to log-in to the mySpelman portal, wireless, and your office desktop computer. OneSpelman!
