Cybersecurity Tips for New and Returning Buckeyes

Amid the hustle and bustle of a new academic year, it's easy to neglect basic cybersecurity measures. But with increasingly frequent reports of cyberattacks and data breaches, following basic steps to protect yourself and Ohio State’s data is crucial. This article provides strategies on avoiding phishing scams, enhancing your account security with BuckeyePass, and responsibly using AI tools to help you stay cyber secure.

What You Need to Know about Changes to Email Forwarding and Storage Limits 

In June we announced that Ohio State is making changes to storage allowances for email, OneDrive, and Teams. This is partly because Microsoft has made changes in pricing for education licensing, requiring us to make changes to ensure the university is fiscally responsible in managing these services. Email account forwarding policies is also changing, resulting from both Microsoft changes and from growing problems caused by new security measures enacted by outside email vendors (such as Gmail, Yahoo!, etc.) that are increasingly causing inconsistent delivery.  

Summer Renovations in McPherson Support Active Learning

During summer 2024, the Office of Technology and Digital Innovation (OTDI) Learning and Collaborative Environments team completed renovations in 11 centrally scheduled classrooms in McPherson Chemical Laboratory in partnership with the Classroom Readiness Committee.

Reminder: FDM Worktag Clean Up/Inactivation

The Controller's Office recommends that units do a periodic review for worktags that are no longer being used and submit inactivation requests through an FDM Request in Workday. Prior to submitting worktag inactivation requests, please ensure that the Inactivation Checklist has been completed and the balances are clear.

Note that the checklist was recently updated to differentiate reports that should be run for FOD projects beginning with PJOSU. Contact CTL-FDMRequests@osu.edu with any questions.

Recent and Upcoming Reporting Enhancements as of Sept. 9

Below are details about recent and upcoming report changes.

Find Journals – OSU

The "Find Journals – OSU" report has been enhanced with two additional fields in the output of the report. The field names are "Cost Center" and "Worktags."

Report Retirement Reminder

The reports "Find Accounting Adjustments" and "Find Accounting Adjustment Lines for Organizations" will be retired on Friday, September 27 . The recommended replacement for these reports is "Accounting Adjustment Status - OSU."

Purchase Order Auto-Close Functionality

During the week of September 9 , Ohio State will start utilizing the auto-close functionality provided by Workday for university purchase orders for goods. When a university purchase order for goods meets the criteria listed below, they will automatically close.

- Fully received: where all quantities ordered have been marked received in Workday

- Fully invoiced and paid: when all the quantities ordered have been invoiced and payments have all been issued to the vendors

This will only apply to purchase orders where these criteria are met after September 9. If your purchase order has already been receipted and fully invoiced/paid prior to September 9, they will have to be sent to the Service Center through the current closure process.

Please pay special attention when building/approving requisitions for goods lines to ensure that the quotes match the requisition. Contact the Service Center if you have questions on how to build requisitions.
