Daylight Saving Time 2009

This fall, Daylight Saving Time (DST) occurs on November 1.

Most systems on campus have been updated for Daylight Saving Time, but you should still check to make sure your computer and/or mobile devices have the latest operating system and application updates. Also, be sure to check appointments on calendars since you may encounter scheduling problems.

Windows users should be aware that if their system does not have a DST patch, their computer will move back one hour this Sunday, October 25, because Windows was originally programmed to end DST on the last Sunday in October. Windows users should make sure that they have the latest DST patch, which is available at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/970653. Mac users should make sure they have the latest software update installed.

Please visit the university's DST Web site for more information and instructions on updates for computers, mobile devices, and calendars.
