Note: If you are GC Staff, GC Faculty or Research Foundation funded Staff this notice applies to you.
Attention GC Faculty & Staff - please take note of this important announcement regarding your GC network file storage.
As we have noted in our announcements, legacy IT file storage systems which have become old, slow, insufficient and highly constrained must be decommissioned. The legacy provisioning of “mywork (U:\)” network storage is being retired July 1, in favor of our recent web-based storage implementation, the “GC Drive” resource (powered by OneDrive for Business).
“GC Drive” has the advantage of being web-based, allowing users to organize their files using metadata and folders; remotely access them from anywhere and at any time; and enable collaboration.
Before you start the migration:
-Do some data cleanup and delete unwanted files
-Ensure your filenames do not exceed 40 characters
-Ensure your filenames do not contain special characters such as ‘#’ and ‘%’
-Ensure that any U:\ drive files you wish to retain have been relocated to your GC Drive prior to June 30, 2018
Remember, effective July 1, 2018, your U:\ drive will no longer be accessible.
We appreciate your cooperation as we migrate from outdated infrastructure to more modern technologies.
Please find attached the instructions on how to move your files to the GC Drive. If you need assistance, please contact IT Services.

The Graduate Center is about to launch CUNYfirst to replace Banner, the GC’s current system for student record administration. The planned launch date is Monday, April 16. From that date forward all student-related processing will occur in CUNYfirst.
Many administrative staff already use CUNYfirst to perform tasks essential to the running of the GC. Now, the system will be available to every member of our community to view personal and academic records and perform most online transactions relating to your work and/or study.
Banner will be taken offline on Friday, April 6, to allow for the final transfer of student-related data to CUNYfirst. It will come back online for GC HR Time and Leave transactions only when CUNYfirst launches on April 16.
No online services or records will be available between April 6 and 16. We encourage you to plan ahead: review our online guide to see the actions you should take to prepare for the launch, access tutorials for completing common tasks in CUNYfirst, and find out who can provide additional assistance.

Read moreStarting on Monday, March 19th, all users will be able to submit new account requests using our New Employee Network Account Request Form. The new form is now available on the IT Self-Service Resources page and will provide a greater level of accuracy, streamlining the process of who is authorized to make these types of security requests as part of the onboarding process. It will also ensure that only one source of personal information exists for any request for GC email and network IDs.
This new form must be submitted by the employee’s supervisor or the administrator for the department. Please visit the IT Self-Service Resources site and login to access this new form.
If you have questions, please contact IT Services for support.
