OGCA Pre-Award Shared Drive

Access

To gain access to the OGCA Pre-Award Shared Drive for your unit, please download and complete the access form. Once the user signs, please scan and email to UAF-OGCA-PreAward@alaska.edu.

IMPORTANT: In the field for the drive path, under where it says "\\uaf-c3.apps.ad.alaska.edu\OGCA-Pre-Award_Shared\", you must replace "\xxx" with your unit's folder name from the list below (e.g. "IAB", "INE", etc.). Note that since CIS campuses are nested within the CIS folder, you would need to use "CIS\CIS-BBC" for "xxx", as an example. If you are unsure what the name of your folder on the drive is, please contact OGCA Pre-Award staff.

In addition, the value you entered for your unit in the path name also needs to be entered in the Other comment field where it says "OGCA_xxx" (e.g. "OGCA_IAB").

Forms received that do not have these values correctly entered will delay processing with OGCA and OIT.
