IT Accounts
From Alan Causer
If a student enrols, gets a card, and puts money on same day, their usercode will be created early next day (usually between 8am and 10am on heavy enrolment days) but the money won’t appear to be available for printing for a further day.
If they put money on after their usercode is created but same day, it will be available as usual, within 20 minutes.
Students can be manually enabled if they are in the former category. (by Alan or Michele)
I have come across some students who, having just received their canterbury cards and proceeded to add funds to it more or less straight away, have complained that the money has not appeared on their balance well after the usual 30 minute period. In one particular case this was so even on the following day.
Obviously this may be the user ‘thinking’ they have loaded money correctly, or the system may be running slow, however, contrary to what IT advised regarding when money can be added, it be prudent to push a fairly broad ‘do nothing for 24 hours’ line.
Internet Connections to Halls of Residence/Halls connections
Direct students to the relevant section of the IT web pages. Students do not need to go in person to the IT Help Desk. Money is taken from their Canterbury card to pay for internet use in their rooms.

Visitor cards
The Card Co-ordinator has advised that he will NOT have a card machine available for making Library Visitor cards during the week of 19th to 23rd February.
It is also likely that he will not be able to make cards for the week of 26th Feb to 2nd March if student enrolment is still heavy.
Lending Services will therefore suspend registration of external borrowers who require new cards during this time.
NB The good news is that this will not affect ULANZ/CTA borrowers under the new system where they use their home institution cards.
