A Note about Security

Dartmouth ITC works to balance access to useful software and productivity tools with the need to protect information. To that end, ITC may disable certain Slack features or settings. Most settings apply across the Dartmouth community, and Slack may not support individual exceptions.

These decisions are made under Dartmouth's information security policies and are aligned with industry standards, guidance, and best practices. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in keeping Dartmouth’s digital environment secure. If you have questions or concerns about features or policies, please contact us by submitting a help ticket using the link below.
