Maintenance Routines

Daily File Deletion

In order to maintain a stable and usable classroom environment, most VCUarts classroom computers delete files daily at 4:00 AM.

Instead of the local drive of the classroom computer, students should save their work to Google Drive or external storage devices.

Any computer that has the daily file delete routine implemented will present a full screen notification each time someone logs into the computer.

If you need the computer to run overnight without deleting files, then go to the vcuarts help desk menu, and select Cancel maintenance reboot. This is not an on/off switch. It only cancels the next maintenance routine.

Software Notes

Adobe software can be installed, updated, and upgraded by any user of a VCUarts classroom computer. You do not need to be an administrator.

Unity will be updated to the current Long Term Service (LTS) version at the start of each semester. Students and faculty will have the ability to install newer versions of Unity via the Unity Hub application, but VCUarts Technology Support will not be updating those versions throughout the semester.
