IT at UCI
UCI Office of Information Technology (OIT)
In addition to SE Computing, UCI has a large central IT unit called the Office of Information Technology (OIT).
Adobe Software Licensing
Adobe Pro software licenses for 2024–25 are now licensed at the school level. If Creative Cloud Suite (or Express Premium) is needed, please have a KFS account number ready.
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.

Assume that once you leave, any files that will need to be passed onto the next person will be packaged up and saved on one of the shared drives, or a M: drive of your choice. No files left on the computer of the person retiring will be saved.
Regarding emails - UCI does not grant access to email of the person that's leaving. Any emails that need to be preserved, should be forwarded or saved as a separate attachment.
Please work with your employees to be sure that anything that needs to be preserved for the next person is backed up either by an external drive or stored on a shared drive. Any personal files they want to take with them will need to be copied or removed by the employee's last day.
