To Students,
The University of Tsukuba has introduced self-instructive e-learning course “INFOSS Information Ethics” as part of information security education. This e-learning course provides students with knowledge and manners related to information and communication technology so that they will not cause a problem or will not be victimized in this information society. Undergraduates will be prompted to take the course in common fundamental subject course “Information Literacy”, and students with other statuses should take it as well voluntarily.
For more information about “INFOSS”, visit the following website:
INFOSS Information Ethics Course’ e-Learning Course
After graduation, completion of studies or retirement, you will not be able to use the Zengaku Computer System anymore. Also, if you advance to graduate school, your student ID number will change and therefore you will not be able to use your current ID.

You can shut down or restart manually during the above time period, but when finishing using a terminal, please restart or sign-out instead of shutting down and keep the terminal running if possible.
