Frequently asked questions about the FAQs
What is a FAQ?
FAQ stands for Frequently Asked Questions; a FAQ is a document listing common questions about a topic, along with their answers. Each Friday, UCS sends out a FAQ on some technical topic of interest.
How do you say "FAQ"?
You can spell it out, or pronounce it as one word, which rhymes with "hack". Either way is considered correct.
I have a question! How do I get it addressed in a FAQ?
Just email your question to faq@wou.edu. We also accept praise, criticism, suggestions, and any other form of feedback you can fit into an email message. However, reports of technical problems should be directed to the UCS help desk instead; the FAQ address is intended for "how-to" questions.
Can I repost the FAQ's elsewhere?
Yes, you can repost any of these FAQ's that have relevance outside WOU, provided that you do the following:
Please note that these FAQ's aren't exactly what was sent out by email; they have been reformatted, some errors and omissions have been corrected, and some of the FAQ's have been updated to reflect changing conditions. We will do our best to keep them all current.
As of November 2006, we are converting the FAQs to the new web format and making sure they are up-to-date. New FAQs are being sent out again as well!
