Other UCM Training

  • Calendar of University Events (CUE)

    UCM is changing the way CUE access and trainings are managed. Anyone at OHIO can sign up in Localist to create events for the University Calendar. These events should be open to the public and sponsored by a university department or organization. They will be reviewed by a group officer or UCM before being approved for posting.

    If you have immediate questions, please contact Shelli Minton (sminton@ohio.edu).

  • Google Analytics

    UCM has been hard at work preparing for the switch from Universal Analytics to GA4. To make analytics easily readable for users and ensure data capture is set up to meet each unit’s needs, we are in the process of creating custom dashboards through Looker Studio, previously, Google Data Studio.
