Access to OASIS switches to MyID on May 20, 2009

ATHENS, Ga.— UGA Registrar Rebecca Macon and Rehan Khan, associate CIO for the EITS Application Development and Database Management division, have announced that students will no longer be required to use their Social Security Number to access OASIS via the Web.

 

Access switches from SSN and PIN to MyID and password on May 20, 2009. The MyID is the sign-on name that students already use to access a wide range of online services at UGA, including the UGA portal (MyUGA), UGAMail, WebCT, Parking Services, and many more.

"We are very pleased that the EITS OASIS technical team was able to modify OASIS to no longer require the SSN and PIN to access OASIS," said Macon, who also serves as chair of the Identity Management Functional Committee.

"Students will have the convenience of single sign-on to OASIS via the UGA portal, MyUGA (http://my.uga.edu) using their MyID and password," said Khan. "Once logged on to MyUGA, OASIS is a click away, just like WebCT, UGAMail, and the other services that use the MyID for access."

Students accessing OASIS via the OASIS Web site or a bookmarked Web address will also no longer be required to use their SSN and PIN.
