II. Requesting a share
Please contact the Help Desk for more information, or to request a share. Please request shares at least 7 days before they are required.
The following info is needed to quickly process your share request:
Instructor/sponsor name

Unique number (if applicable)
Class name (if applicable)
Class meeting time (if applicable)
List of TA/AI EIDs needing access
III. Availability, risk assessment and periodic maintenance
Class folders will only remain active for the current semester. If you wish to archive your materials, please make arrangements to do so within one week of the last day of finals of every semester. If you are teaching again the following semester, please contact us before the last day of finals, so we can arrange to keep the shares in place.
This service will be considered a “moderately critical” service, such that attempts will be made to keep it available during “normal business hours” for this service (M-F 8am until 9p.m.). Unplanned events occurring outside this time may not be attended to until the following business day. We will attempt to notify the share requestors if there are any planned downtimes to occur during normal business hours.
Files containing “sensitive data,” according to University determinations, must be identified to the system administrator, who will inform the Director, for inclusion in the University of Texas System’s bi-annual Information Systems Risk Assessment report. This may result in stricter safeguards being placed upon the sensitive data, or the service in general. Any materials deemed to violate any University rules or regulations will be removed.
ITS Networking might, at any time, place filters that prevent you from accessing this, or any service, from off campus. Unfortunately, we cannot do anything to work around this. Service is almost always available in our buildings.
For any questions about this document, or any College of Communication technology policy, please contact the Director of Information Technology.
