Key Changes to Classroom and Lab Spaces

IT Services is in the process of upgrading lab and classroom computers across all campuses to Windows 11. The next time you enter a classroom or computer lab, you may notice some changes in how you log in, print and access software and files.

These upgrades are part of Selkirk College’s move to a modern, secure and more reliable computing environment.

What’s Changing

Logging in: You’ll now need to use your full Selkirk College email address (e.g., yourname@selkirk.ca) to sign in.

Printing: The only printer installed by default will be Find Me, which lets you release your print jobs at any Find Me-enabled printer across the college.

Guest accounts: The generic “Selkirk” guest account will no longer be available. If your department requires guest access, please contact the Service Desk to request a new department-specific account.

OneDrive access: Files saved in OneDrive will not appear automatically on lab or classroom computers. You can still access them by signing in.

Microsoft Office: Office apps are installed, but you may need to sign in with your Selkirk College account the first time to activate them.

Software availability: Each machine includes core software by default. Program-specific specialty software is being added gradually over the coming weeks.

Planning Ahead

If you’re scheduled to teach in a classroom or lab, we recommend testing the setup in advance to ensure everything is working as expected. If you need help, the Service Desk is ready to assist.

We’ll be adding more detailed support guides soon at go.selkirk.ca to help you navigate these updates smoothly.

Thanks for your patience as we modernize campus technology!
