Box Cloud Storage for UC Students, Faculty & Staff

The University of Cincinnati offers a free 500 GB Box cloud storage account to all students, faculty and staff. This replaces the UCFileSpace account and is a secure, full-functioned UC-hosted cloud service. It can be used to securely store and share any type of document, including course work and research data, but it is not approved for storage of data covered by HIPAA.

For more info, visit kb.uc.edu. To activate your account, visit uc.edu/ucit/box.

Google Apps for Education Accounts for Current Students

The College of Education, Criminal Justice & Human Services (CECH) offers a Google Apps for Education account for students, faculty & staff. If you currently use Google Drive with a gmail account, this would be a separate, non-commingled account (however, you can share folders and documents with your gmail account). It includes all functionality and apps except email, and it includes up to 5 TB of cloud storage. It is approved for research data, including data covered by HIPAA.

To access, sign into Google using your full UC email address and password. You will then be redirected to a second UC login, where you will login with your regular UC username and password.

If you get a message that your account is not recognized, let us know, and we'll request an account for you.

Office 365 Available with UC Student Accounts

Office 365 is included with your UC student email account and is accessed by signing into your UC student email (mail.uc.edu). It is not currently accessible through staff/faculty email, but should be at some time in the future. Office 365 gives you free limited, web-based versions of Word, Excel, Powerpoint, OneNote, and more, plus 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage and a license to download a copy of the Office programs to 5 personal computer and 5 tablets.

For PC and Mac installation instructions, see www.uc.edu/ucit/students/email/Windows.html

Important Note
Student email (and Office 365) accounts do not automatically expire when you are no longer a student at the University of Cincinnati - you get to keep it as an alumni as long as you access it at least once a year.

New for Fall 2015 - Revised Statistics and Practicum Classes

We are very pleased to let you know that we are completing revising both the Statistics course and the Practicum course, effective Fall 2015.

EDST7010: Statistics I
Yan Yang is taking over this course and is rebuilding it from the ground up. The new course will be more about the “so what” of statistics and less about the “how” (although the “how” will still be there!). Emphasis will be placed on the interpretation and analysis of the statistics. We are dropping R (unless you really want to use it) and exploring various statistical analysis tools, including Excel and SPSS.

CI6075: Practicum
The Practicum is also being completely redesigned. It will still include an e-portfolio requirement, but will be broken into 3 5-week segments: 1) perspectives on leadership, 2) career planning and goals, and 3) practical teaching application and reflection. The three segments will be inter-related. These changes are based on feedback over the past few years on both this course and the program as a whole, and we expect that this new course will be more meaningful to students and applicable to their career growth.

New Application and Requirements Starting Fall 2016

As part of an extensive replacement of the entire Student Information System (SIS) at the University of Cincinnati, there is a new program application that is rolling out starting with Fall 2016. One of the procedural changes with the new application involves transcripts.

Starting with applicants for Fall 2016, we are required to review applications using only an unofficial transcript. Applicants will be required to upload their unofficial transcripts into the application. If the applicant is accepted into the program, they must then request official transcripts be sent directly. It is the University's intention to save applicants the cost of ordering official transcripts unless they are actually admitted into the program.

We have decided to transition to this new requirement prior to Fall 2016. Applicants for Spring and Summer 2016 are being encouraged to upload unofficial transcripts into their application and order official transcripts only after acceptance. During the transition period, this is not required but is strongly recommended.
