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.
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, after 6 months of inactivity, user access to ArgoApps will be automatically removed.
Who Must Request Access?
All users who have used ArgoApps in the past as well as new users must request access in order to use ArgoApps.
*This change does not apply to users who have completed the GIS User Certification and only need to access GIS resources within ArgoApps.
