Privacy Policy Virtual Information and Listening Sessions

The University of Maryland is developing a new data privacy policy to establish clear principles and expectations related to the appropriate use of university community members’ data. The IT Council of the University Senate is interested in student, faculty, and staff feedback before finalizing the policy. You’re invited to attend a virtual information and listening session to provide your input and have your questions answered. Please use one of the links below to join the UMD Zoom meeting at the appropriate time:

Planned Outage of IT Services August 1, 2021

Many UMD IT services will be intermittently unavailable on August 1 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

IT Highlights for Instructors

New at UMD?

Welcome! To get started, activate your Directory ID and account services and learn how your UMD Gmail account works.

IT Highlights for Students

New at UMD?

Welcome! To get started, visit identity.umd.edu to set up your Directory ID and passphrase, multi-factor authentication, TERPmail password, and verified phone (for easy passphrase resets in the future).

Scheduled Network Testing July 25

On Sunday, July 25, 2021 between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., the Division of Information Technology will conduct a series of disaster recovery tests focusing on core portions of the network. The State Office of Legislative Audits requires that disaster recovery planning and testing be conducted annually. Conducting such tests is essential to ensuring that IT services can withstand failure large and small.

New UMD Zoom Features

University of Maryland community members can now enter their preferred display name and pronouns in the UMD Zoom platform. These options are available on the Zoom Profile page, and instructions are provided in this support article: Change Your Display Name and Add Pronouns in Zoom.   Note that the chosen display name and pronouns will be retained rather than being mapped every time the user signs into Zoom using the UMD Central Authentication System (CAS).
