Staff Edition · UCDC and UC Federal Governmental Relations
UCDC staff use UCDC-managed computers and do not sign in to UCOP workstations. Use your UCDC account for the computer and UCDC-managed services; use your UCOP account only for the UCOP web, cloud, business and network services listed in this guide. For UCOP Microsoft products, sign in as jcalifornia@ucop.edu. For all other UCOP services, sign in as jcalifornia only.
