Upcoming Changes at UAH!
myUAH - Last year, Ellucian, our software vendor for all things Banner, announced they would be retiring Luminis, the underlying software powering myUAH. OIT staff has been diligently working on its replacement. The new software is named Experience and will offer a more modern look, improved features (called cards), a responsive design, and will be mobile device friendly. Anticipated production rollout is October 1, 2023. Keep your eye out for your opportunity to preview this new product before its official launch.
Google Apps Quotas - Two years ago Google announced the end to their unlimited free storage (shared across Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos) and has imposed quotas on all customers. From the beginning, OIT has been analyzing the usage to determine what is an appropriate storage limit. Beginning January 2024, employees will have a limit of 200GB and students will have a limit of 10GB. To remain within UAH’s allocated storage limit, OIT will continue to monitor usage and make adjustments to these quotas as necessary. Google Apps usage is intended for activities associated with your responsibilities at UAH. Please do not store any personal information within your UAH provided account.
Realizing that some individuals/areas may have additional storage requirements, we are working out the details of how additional storage can be purchased and will communicate this to the campus once finalized.
To check how much storage your account is currently using, go tohttps://www.google.com/settings/storage.
Cybersecurity Training - If you have not completed your required cybersecurity training, now is a perfect time to do so before the semester gets underway and before this year’s deadline of October 1, 2023. Check Canvas (https://uah.instructure.com/) for your enrollment.
