Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Who may take classes offered through Computer & Network Services?

Answer: Most of the classes we will offer are strictly for the faculty and staff of the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

We will, however, be offering short workshops for UAHuntsville students.  Students interested in these workshops are encouraged to visit this site often to see when specific classes/workshops designed specifically for students become available.


Question: Is there a cost associated with the classes or documentation I receive?

In most cases, no.  Classes and documentation will be offered to University faculty and staff free of charge, except in special cases where class materials or specialized lecture requires some form of cost recovery.  Classes requiring remuneration will be clearly noted in the course registration announcements.


Question: How will you announce the workshops and classes you offer?

Classes and workshops are announced via the online catalog located on our Training Server website and the "is-announce" list server. 


Question: How do I subscribe to the "is-announce" list server?

It is easy to subscribe to the "is-announce" list server.

  • Address an email message to  majordomo@info.uah.edu.  Note that the address for the message is info.uah.edu rather than email.uah.edu.

  • It is not necessary to include a subject heading in your message.

  • Next, type the following statement: "subscribe is-announce" (without the quotation marks, of course) in the body or "text" portion of your email message.  Once you have this entered, simply send the message.

  • The list server will reply with a confirmation message that you are subscribed to the list. Do not worry if the confirmation message appears a little cryptic.

Question: How do I un-subscribe from the "is-announce" list server?

Un-subscribing from our list server is just as easy as subscribing.

  • Simply address an email message to majordomo@info.uah.edu.  It is not necessary to include a subject in your message, although doing so will not cause any problems.   

  • In the body or "text" of the message enter the following statement: "unsubscribe is-announce" (without the quotation marks).

  • Once you have this statement entered, send the message. This will remove your name from our email mailing list.


Question: Will I receive some form of confirmation when I sign up for a class?

Yes, we will send you an email reply to confirm your registration for a particular class. 

NOTE: Since we are using the campus LDAP server for your account information, your official UAH email address is the address that receives the confirmation notice. 

Please be careful to note the date, time, and location listed on your class confirmation.

This will insure you arrive at class on the proper date, time and location.

In most cases, you should receive your confirmation notice almost immediately after you have registered.


Question: Will I receive any academic or Continuing Education credit for the classes I take through i.t. solutions?

No.  Although we do feel our courses will be beneficial to your employment with the university, we cannot offer any college or CE credit for them.  If you are interested in taking a course for academic or CE credit, we suggest you refer to either the UAHuntsville Academic Catalog or contact the UAHuntsville Division of Continuing Education.
