Some issues are especially relevant to LS faculty:

↑ Some Windows computers issued by other institutions may need to manually set up wireless.
↑ Sometimes the correct courses don't appear for an instructor in the CourseHub. This usually applies when there are multiple professors per class. The correct way to fix this is to make sure they’re actually registered as instructors with the Registrar. This is sometimes a tough sell, so the workaround is for the lead professor to manually edit the "instructors" course group and add them. (The group names are DEPTCODE+"3"[for LS]+COURSENUM+SECTION+"-"+TERM – hence "Spanish (LS) 101, Section A, Language Schools/Summer 2017 - Instructors" would be SPAN3101a-l17-instructors.)
