Happy Holidays & Important Notice from the IT Department

Dear NIS Faculty, Staff, and Students,

As the Winter Break approaches, the IT department extends heartfelt wishes for a happy and restful holiday to each of you. 🎄✨

With just one week left before we break for the winter holidays, we’re gearing up for some housekeeping. Part of this involves conducting a thorough inventory of our loaner devices and accessories, including chargers and other peripherals.

 

🔍 Inventory Time: Your Cooperation Needed

To facilitate a smooth inventory process, we kindly request anyone who has borrowed equipment from the IT department to return these items by Thursday, December 12th, 2024. This will help us ensure that everything is accounted for and in good working order for the upcoming year.

 

🚫 Pause on Loaning Equipment

Please note, during this final week (leading up to the holidays), we will not be issuing any loaner devices or accessories. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

 

📣 Friendly Reminder

Returning borrowed items on time is crucial for our inventory process and helps us maintain our resources effectively. Your timely response will be greatly appreciated!
