Over the course of the next month, the ACU IT team will be rolling out a new system to manage administrator access on Faculty and Staff computers. For most actions that require administrator access, you will see a new prompt that confirms your ACU email and the action you are wanting to take.

As always, if you have any questions or run into issue when using this new system, please contact the IT Support Center at 325-674-5555 or support@acu.edu.
