G.A.T.E mode short for Gauss Advanced Test Environment, provides students and teachers with a secure computing environment to the software purchased and licensed by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. During this mode computer users will not be able to access all of the files in their home directory, sending and receiving e-mail, printing, the external web, USB key/cdrom/floppy access, existing temporary files stored on the machine, and all access to the internet including access to other machines on the University Network. With the exception of our Math Moodle website webct.math.yorku.ca, all other computer access remains unavailable on these machines. Students can use the Moodle site to submit their completed work.
