UWF Accounts

As a new employee, the first order of business is to set up all necessary accounts. There are four basic accounts at UWF; you may need all of them or just one:

1. ArgoNet
   Your ArgoNet account allows you to access the vast majority of services at UWF including email and Argus. To activate your ArgoNet account, go to the Argus login page at http://argus.uwf.edu. Click the "activate your account" link and follow the on-screen instructions.
   
   
   
2. Banner
   Banner is the information system used to manage finance and human resources. All employees use Banner for tasks such as submitting time and leave reports; however, some positions require more extensive use of Banner, which requires a Banner account. Ask your supervisor if your position requires a Banner account. To request a Banner account, you must complete Banner Basic Training.
   
   
3. CICS.
   A CICS account provides access to the mainframe computer in Tallahassee where UWF’s student information systems reside. Ask your supervisor if you need a CICS account; if you do, fill out an Employee CICS Security Authorization Form (available from the Directory tab in Argus) and submit it to your workstation manager.
   
   
4. eLearning.
   eLearning is UWF's online course management system that allows instructors to offer courses via the Internet and to enhance traditional classes with online content. Request an eLearning account from Argus - My Info tab - eLearning.
