This week’s Enterprise Technology & Services (ET&S) Tech Briefing includes updates, training opportunities, new information on upcoming changes to Webcat, and reminders.

Changes to Webcat (New)

To Know: Starting Monday, March 7, Enterprise Technology & Services (ET&S) will make two changes to Personal Information in Webcat that will impact UNH students:

  1. Students can update their permanent address online using Webcat instead of a paper form.
  2. The preferred name function in WebCat is being updated to simplify entry. All preferred names will now be substituted for legal names based on the information listed on the website. For more info, go to https://www.unh.edu/registrar/academic-records/personal-information-preferred-name.

To Do: No action is required.
