UNT System does not restrict employees from using mobile devices unless confidential information is involved. Confidential information may not be stored on mobile computing devices, i.e., laptops, tablets, smart phones, etc., unless the device is encrypted. Cloud storage services are available through One Drive for Business. Employees may use OneDrive for Business to store files for a UNT System institution business purposes only. For more information about encryption and other topics on information security, please see the UNT System Information Security Handbook section 12.4 for information about encryption.
Any files that need to be retained for records retention purposes need to be stored on department provisioned drives.
Please review UNTsystem consolidated records retention schedules here.
The supervisor should review and request any data or files that need to be retained within 14 days of the employee leaving the organization; as we will need to re-use the Office365 license.
Governance Decision Process Guidelines
The chart below identifies the overall process of governance between institutional decision-making and IT Shared Services decision-making. It is important to understand that campuses will continue to make technology decisions for their own needs unless the project rises to the level of potentially being a shared service. The answer to the question "should/could this be used by another institution?" determines whether or not a decision needs to rise to the Shared Services Governance Process. In that instance, the campus process will shift to the appropriate PMC to make a shared/not shared decision. Should the PMC decide the project should be shared service then the IT Shared Services Governance Process will be used for decision making relative to it. If the PMC decides that the project is not a shared service then the project will immediately be returned to the originating campus to address as that campus sees fit.
All workstations should use antivirus software for protection against malware. ITSS Information Security provides McAfee Antivirus software that can be downloaded at AntiVirus Download with a valid EUID and password. The antivirus software should be configured for regular updates and automatic scans to remain effective. In addition, you can reduce your risk of compromise by following these practices:
- Keep all software up to date.
- Backup your data.
- Download files and applications from trusted sources only.
- Be wary of hyperlinks in emails and only click on links you expected to receive.
You can learn more about information security by visiting the Information Security website here.
Any classification of data can be stored in OneDrive for Business, however it is not the appropriate storage location for institutional records.
Data classification/categorization information can be found in the Information Security Handbook, under section 7.3.
In general, storage of information must adhere to institutional policies and standards for protecting information, including physical security. The protection of information must be commensurate with the value of the information (e.g., category I requires the highest level of security, therefore no unauthorized sharing, access, or use of the information is allowed).
In regard to the exchange of information:
- Services provided by a third-party must adhere to institutional requirements for protecting information. Microsoft meets this requirement with their implementation of OneDrive for Business.
- Information exchanged within the institution must be done in a secure manner.
In regard to mobile devices:
- All institutionally owned laptops must be encrypted, and category information can be stored on mobile devices as long as encryption technology is enabled on the device. If no encryption is in place the information cannot be stored on the device.
In regard to backups:
- Backup processes must protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of stored information.
In regard to who can store information, it is up to the information owner to make that decision, as they approve access to their information. Users must adhere to institutional policies and standards for protecting information when accessing resources and information remotely.
In summary, regardless of the technology used to store information, institutional policies and standards must be followed to ensure its protection.

We intend to review processes to ensure that we are taking maximum advantage of current PeopleSoft capabilities. Our current system is basically using the functionality available 10 years ago when the original implementation occurred. The goal of process reviews is to minimize customizations which drive up the cost of the upgrade and ongoing support.
Oracle requires us to physically split the Human Capital database from the Campus Solutions database. Currently, this data is in one physical database. In addition to the split, we will be upgrading both Human Capital and Financial systems. In addition, we will implement three new modules in the Human Capital system:
- ePerformance
- Talent Acquisition Management
- Candidate Gateway
We will be implementing one new module in the Financial system:
- eSettlements
Finally, as part of the upgrade project, our portals will be redesigned for “look and feel” to improve the user experience.
A content management system used widely through UNT.
Delve helps you discover the information that's likely to be most interesting to you right now - across Office 365.
The more you and your colleagues work together, by viewing, editing and sharing each other's documents, the more useful Delve will be for all of you.
Delve learns from how you and your colleagues work, and tailors the information to each of you. What you see in your views in Delve is different from what your colleagues see in theirs.
Delve never changes any permissions, so you'll only see documents that you already have access to. Other people will not see your private documents, for example documents that you've stored in private folders in OneDrive for Business.
You don't have to remember the title of a document or where it's stored. Delve shows you documents no matter where they are stored in OneDrive for Business or in Sites in Office 365.
You can find more on Delve here.
OneDrive for Business is a place where you can store, sync, and share your work files across multiple devices. The files you store in OneDrive for Business are private, unless you decide to share them.
Total contracted project cost is $5,011,347.
It is the quickest and easiest way to share a file with everyone in the organization and allow edits unless you change the default permission setting.
It is important to note that the "Shared with everyone folder is not a common repository. It is your personal folder you share with everyone in the organization.
In Delve you'll find Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and PDF documents - that are stored in OneDrive for Business, in Sites in Office 365, or that have been shared with you as attachments in emails. You may also find videos* that have been uploaded to Office 365 Video.
You'll only see documents that you already have access to. You will not see documents that are stored in private folders unless they're shared with you.
Documents and videos are shown as content cards surfaced on different views. To learn more about the content cards, see How to use the content cards in Delve and What kind of information will I find in Office Delve.
Information Security offers online security awareness training for faculty and staff of all UNT System components. The security awareness course covers the basics of information security, as well as current trends, best practices, and important policies regarding computing usage throughout the UNT System. Full-time faculty and staff will be assigned training through the SANS Institute Securing the Human online video tutorials. After access has been granted, full-time employees can login with their UNT System credentials at here. For more information about the training, see Security Frequently Asked Questions page. Part-time employees, including student employees, can continue to access training here. Please note that accessing this training through Firefox or Chrome will require using the domain\username when logging in.
If you clicked on a link or responded to an email that you suspect may have been a phishing attempt, you should immediately change your password and contact your IT support staff. The senders of the fake email may be attempting to collect valid credentials for access to UNT institution services, or may have installed malware on your computer. Report the incident to your supervisor and IT support staff, so any additional containment or handling can be coordinated.More information is available at https://itss.untsystem.edu/security/phishing
A functional upgrade. That means we will review business processes to take advantage, to the greatest extent possible, of functionality in PeopleSoft version 9.2. This type of upgrade has not been done since the implementation of PeopleSoft 10 years ago. It will involve users deeply in the upgrade. All previous upgrades have been “technical” in nature – basically upgrading the engine but minimizing any impact on existing business processes. Specifically, a functional upgrade means we will be doing:
- Application functionality fit-gap sessions
- Business process analysis
- Replacement of customizations with newly delivered functionality
- Implementation of new modules
End-user data should be stored in OneDrive for Business. Official university records should not be stored on OneDrive for Business.
The project starts June 2013. It is planned to end in September 2015. The basic upgrade, however, will be completed by July 2015.
After an exhaustive review of all potential alternatives, the consensus decision was to move forward with a PeopleSoft functional upgrade. The decision process involved:
- Individuals from campuses
- Four separate discussions with the IT Governance Council (comprised of the 3 campus Chief Financial Officers and Provosts, Vice Chancellors for Finance and Academic Affairs and Student Success, and campus CIOs)
- Two discussions with the Shared Services Council (Chancellor and 3 University Presidents as well as CFOs and Provosts) resulting in an approval to move forward with a functional upgrade.
- A discussion with the Board of Regents and final approval by the Board of Regents at their May 16, 2013 meeting.
Use this contact form to message us.
Campuses are funding the upgrade based on the IT Shared Services Cost Allocation formulas. Project funding actually occurs over 4 fiscal years – a small amount in FY2013, the largest amount in FY2014, a smaller amount in FY2015 and some in FY2016.
All employees and contractors of UNT, UNT Dallas, and UNT System are required to complete Security Awareness Trainining. Employees who were hired before January 1, 2019 and have completed training through the onboarding process have already met this requirement.
Through an RFP process, we have selected Ciber Inc. to provide the skills needed to upgrade our PeopleSoft systems. Also, they are providing professional project management for the project. Internally, we will have our own project coordinator working closely with the Ciber Project Manager. ITSS EIS staff will be assigned to the project and will perform technical aspects of the upgrade.
Keeping our confidential data secure requires the effort of technology, processes and people. In this training, you will learn why you are an important part of information security and what you can do to protect data. In addition, many regulations and standards require security awareness training for every employee.
Because Oracle will drop support of our current Financials and Human Capital software version in July 2015. Support includes many updates necessary to carry on business effectively. We must upgrade from our version 9.0 to version 9.2 to retain support. Campus Solutions will remain at version 9.0.
