For the record . . .

stated that authorization approval is no longer needed for access
to administrative data. Authorization approval is still needed, but a
new process for getting access to administrative data on the Data
Systems Center (DSC) mainframe and servers has been implemented.
Users who need access to administrative data should contact their DSC Access Administrator (DAA). The DAAs receive and process system access requests forms for most departments.
Forms and further information are available on the WorldWide Web at http://www.umich.edu/~wwwitd/admin-data/. Forms also are available from your DAA or the Information Technology Division Documentation Library at OM_Doclib@dsc.umich.edu or 764-2350.
