MB - Home Run For Robb Girls

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had great holidays and are looking forward to a fun filled 2nd semester! The upcoming MB dates are as follows:

Sunday 3rd August - Basketball, Sport UNE
Sunday 17th August - Lawn Bowls, Armidale Bowling Club
Friday 29th August - Run Swim, Consett Davis, UNE Pool (5:30pm start)
Sunday 31st August - Touch Football, Bellevue

Note:

- We decided not to nominate for Water Polo due to Robb Ball Recovery (so we will have to try extra hard to maintain our leading position!)

- Dates for Netball and the Hodson Relay are yet to be determined.

So lets get out there and have some fun, everyone is welcome and it would be nice to see some new faces out on the field.

Good Luck,

Spotty

New Printing System Confusion?

Hey guys,

The new printing system has arrived at all the colleges and university wide – including the Dixon Library and Robb! Please refer to the ITD booklet found here to setup your UNE Student Card with the system. Printed copies of the booklet are available and are kept with the new Multi-Functional Devices, please refer to them when setting up your UNE Student Card, and please do not remove the booklets from the computer lab or office.

Currently the costs for students are:

Printing and copying charged at:
$0.12 per A4 black&white, and
$0.24 per A3 b&w and A4 colour.

Scanning to email is free of charge.

Please refer to the UNE ITD website for additional help by click here or alternatively call extension 5000 for printing help.

In simple English the once off steps to use your UNE Student Card are:
  1. If you have not changed your password this year (2008) using MyUNE (http://my.une.edu.au/) you will need to change your password.
  2. Enter your UNE Username using the keyboard and press 'Enter' when complete.

    Note: special characters, such as ‘!’, ‘@’ $ etc can be accessed the following two ways:
    A. Hold down the shift button and press the number key that corresponds to your character.
    B. If your character is not displayed on the keyboard press and release the ‘Hold’ button to display an onscreen list of all characters. Use the ‘F1’ and ‘F2’ buttons to move left and right then press ‘Enter’ to select the character. Press ‘Hold’ to return to the password screen.

  3. Enter your UNE password using the keyboard and press ‘Enter’ when complete.
  4. Press ‘F3’ button to select ‘More’.
  5. Press ‘F1’ button to select ‘PINs’.
  6. Swipe your UNE Student Card again.
  7. Swipe your UNE Student Card again to confirm your PIN.
  8. Once ‘PIN update complete’ is displayed press ‘F2’ to end your interactions!

Please note: If steps 6 and 7 do not work your UNE Student Card may be faultily and will be replaced free of charge. Contact the Robb College office or ITD if this occurs for help.

Cheers, Robb McCollege

About me

  • Name:
    Robb McCollege

    UNE Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia
  • I am the Robb College Social Rep. I was brought out to Robb from Scotland to play the bagpipes for the victorious 2000 Robb Rugby Club and have been evading immigration officials ever since. These days I like to keep an eye on all social, sporting and cultural aspects of the college and report on these events to present, past and future students.
