Staff Services
UC Merced Information Technology (UCMIT) provides a number of services to the entire University community in accordance with our mission and a number of fundamental strategies. These include general facilities such as email, networks, web sites, storage facilities, etc., which are available to staff as well as to the rest of the University community.
The UC Merced portal, myUCMerced, is the gateway for all IT support, services, information, and resources. The campus web site is more of an informational resource. Your UCMNetID and password will provide you access to the portal, email, document management, and other services.
Open standards
UCMIT takes great care to choose and implement facilities that use open standards. This allows great flexibility in the long run for choosing operating systems, email clients, etc., depending on their requirements, preferences, and need for support. However, to gain the maximum leverage from our support resources, only a small number of products can be realistically supported by the desktop support staff.
Calendaring services
Staff have access to UCMCalendar, which is available for scheduling meetings and rooms as well as personal appointments. UCM Calendar is heavily used by staff, but when scheduling meetings, be aware that only some faculty use it, and it is not available to students at all.
