Alternate Poster Printing Facilities
Social Ecology is no longer offering poster printing for graduate students due to availability of viable alternatives in and around campus.
Listed below are some suggested alternate poster facilities. Please use these facilities if you require poster printing of any kind.
Windows 7 support by Microsoft ended as of January of 2020
Windows 7 support by Microsoft has now ended as of January of 2020. Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or support PCs running Windows 7. This puts most of the Social Ecology computers at risk.
We have created an upgrade program for current Windows 7 computers. Unfortunately, through our testing with common Social Ecology programs, some computers may not run well enough to qualify. Below we have listed the minimum requirements that are needed to have a fully functional Windows 10 computer.
Critical vulnerability in older Windows systems
You may have received a UCI ZotMail about a flaw that has been discovered in Windows Remote Desktop Services on older Windows machines. Please update your Windows 7 system as soon as possible.
This vulnerability does not require any kind of login, so it can spread very quickly among campus systems. It is vital that anyone on campus using an earlier version of Windows apply the patch as soon as possible.
Multi-Factor Authentication
MultiFactor Authentication (MFA) is a two-step process that requires both a password and a second verification using a smartphone or a small token device that you carry with you. The University of California is adopting an MFA product called “Duo” and most UC campuses now require it to access institutional resources or soon will.
The campus is expected to transition to DUO MFA by October 15, 2019.

UCI Surveys
Qualtrics is a robust online survey-building tool that is highly customizable and easy to use. With the Qualtrics Research Core, you are able to build and distribute your survey, analyze and report on your results, and collaborate in real-time in an easy to navigate web-based interface.
Qualtrics enterprise licensing is funded through campus partnerships, and is available free of charge to UCI users. All current UCI faculty, staff, and students can access this powerful tool at no cost.
