We want to inform you about changes to our ArgoApps service. ArgoApps is a valuable resource for our faculty, staff, and students, and we're continuously working to improve the service to meet the evolving needs of our community.

Change Effective Date: January 1, 2024

...

As of January 1, 2024, access to ArgoApps has transitioned from automatic access to a request-based system. This means that faculty, staff, and students no longer have immediate access to the service. Instead, users need to submit a request to gain access.

In addition, we would like to inform you that after 6 months of inactivity, user access to ArgoApps will be automatically removed. This change is part of our efforts to maintain security and resource efficiency within the service.

Why Are We Making These Changes?

We implemented these changes to ensure that ArgoApps remains a secure and reliable resource for our community. By moving to a request-based system and removing inactive accounts, we can better manage user access, monitor usage, and allocate resources more effectively. This change helps us provide a seamless and consistent experience to all users.
