E-Nouncements - May 14, 2021

There has been great confusion about the information sent out from the Barns & Noble College Bookstore about checking the textbooks ordered for the summer and fall semesters.  The links provided in last Friday’s E-Nouncements, link to a website that is ONLY for faculty to check the textbooks available for students to buy for their courses. This website is NOT a site for faculty to order textbooks for their courses, ONLY STUDENTS CAN ORDER THEIR TEXTS ON THIS SITE.  There is no online platform in place yet for faculty to order textbooks.   If you submitted your textbooks orders for summer and fall while VERBA was still in service, you should check this website to make sure the information you entered got transferred to the new system correctly. Textbook orders for Fall, previously submitted through VERBA, are still being transferred to the new system.  If you still need to order textbooks for summer and fall, you will need to email Lorena at the bookstore with your order.  She is the only point person for placing orders right now.  You can also email Lorena if you have any questions or concerns.

The College of Liberal Arts & Sciences has an opening for a full-time University Staff (unclassified) Graduate Program Coordinator position.

The Department of Integrative Biology is one of the largest departments in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) at the University of Colorado Denver.

The Graduate Program Coordinator serves a crucial role in the success of the Department of Integrative Biology by managing, coordinating, and overseeing the operations of the department graduate studies programs. This full-time, University Staff position will embody several essential responsibilities—administering and managing graduate student admission, retention, and graduation; monitoring programmatic financial operations, and performing program-specific administrative functions with the intent to advance program goals and objectives. The Graduate Program Coordinator is a key member of the team in facilitating student success in the admission, retention, and graduation of graduate students.  This position is the primary point of contact for prospective and enrolled graduate students

The final phase of multi-factor authentication (MFA) implementation to help protect both university data and your personal information will begin Tuesday, June 1. This next phase adds MFA to the employee and student portals and will require authentication using Duo each time you log into CU Resources on the UCDAccess portal. 

Currently, when accessing secure information in the CU portal, university employees and students are asked for a separate Duo authentication from the CU system for certain documentation such as payroll and tax information. This change will help streamline the authentication process by aligning with our campuses’ security protocol. 

What will be different?
Employees and students will be asked to authenticate using the CU Denver | Anschutz campus Duo multi-factor app upon login to the CU Resources site. Be sure to have the Duo authenticator you registered in hand (either your mobile device or landline phone) when entering the portal. OIT highly recommends using the Duo Mobile app on your phone and selecting the Duo Push option for authenticating – it is a quick and easy method.

Questions?
Beginning June 1, the process for accessing the CU portal will be the same as other university resources such as the virtual private network (VPN), virtual desktop, and Microsoft 365 applications. Visit the CU Secure and Multi-Factor Authentication webpage for additional information about Duo Security, supported devices and operating systems for using MFA, and frequently asked questions.

 If you need additional assistance with Duo, please contact the OIT Service Desk:
