Tech Tips: What to Expect After Graduation

August 1, 2019

Graduating this semester?  Congratulations for completing your degree from one of the top nursing programs in the country.  Below are common questions we hear from graduating students and steps we recommend that you take now so that you are prepared for post-graduation.

But first, here’s our Tech Tip of the Week …

Do you get frustrated when you print a web page and all the ads show up in your printout?  Yeah, me too.  Here’s how to print without all those ads:

Google Chrome:  Chrome has a hidden reader mode that you can enable.  After you do this, click menu > Distill Page.
Mozilla Firefox:  Firefox has an article-shaped icon beside the navigation bar called Toggle Reader View.  Or, you can just press F9.
Microsoft Edge:  Edge has a book-shaped icon called Reading View in the address bar.  The same functionality is available with Ctrl+Shift+R.
Safari: Click the Reader icon on the left side of the address bar.  Like Edge, you can also activate using Cmd+Shift+R.

Use this tool when you want a clean webpage print.  Try it!

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will I have access to Duke Email?

Duke graduates can use their NetIDs for one year after graduation. After that year, the account will expire and all associated accounts, including e-mail addresses, mailboxes, e-mail forwarding and personal file storage space will be deleted. If you are a former Duke employee, your DHE/NETID account will expire after graduation.

Will I still be able to access DUSON share drive and clubs wireless, after graduation?

No. Your DHE account, used for DUSON share drive access and clubs wireless, will be inaccessible after graduation.

If you are graduating at the end of this semester …

Former Duke Employee: To continue your email access for 1 year, please contact the IT Service Desk so we can sponsor your account. It is recommended to submit the request 3-5 business days before your graduation.
