Since 2012, students at the Federal University of Acre (Ufac) have had access to different academic information concentrated in a system that is easy and simple to access, the Student Portal. Developed by the Information and Technology Center (NTI) team, the space has simplified the routine of students on all the institution's courses.
“Through any device connected to the internet, Ufac students are able to access a wide range of information about their course. Many of the actions that used to depend on going to the course coordinator can now be done from home,” says Edvandro Reckziegel, director of the NTI.
It is through the Student Portal, for example, that students carry out the so-called curricular registration - semester registration for the subjects they intend to take in the term - a procedure required by all coordinating bodies at the beginning of each semester. Other services available through the system include the issuing of academic documents such as transcripts, certificates and proof of enrolment, as well as the monitoring of timetables, grades and absences in all enrolled subjects. The system also provides direct access to the academic calendar and the library collection.
Access to the Student Portal requires the use of a user credential and password. For the first access, the student will need to enter their CPF number (as the user) and their date of birth (as the password).
Free Internet - Throughout the campus - including classrooms, laboratories, university theater, convention center, university restaurant and zoobotanical park (PZ) - students have access to a wireless internet service, “Ufac Air”.
The first step to accessing the service is to activate Ufac's Virtual Identity Management System (IdUfac), which will allow the creation of a unique credential (user and password) for accessing and using all of Ufac's information and communication technology (ICT) services.
“All civil servants and students who have an active relationship with Ufac already have their IdUfac, and all they need to do is carry out the procedures to activate and create a password, which will be personal and non-transferable,” explains Reckziegel.
To activate IdUfac, the student will need to access the website https://id.ufac.br/ and enter the CPF number and e-mail address registered at the time of institutional enrollment. “As soon as this procedure is carried out, a link should arrive at the registered address, redirecting the student to a page where they can register the password that will be used for the services,” says Edvandro. “In addition to the inbox, it's important to check the email spam at this stage,” he warns.
Once the IdUfac password has been activated and created, access to Ufac Air (limited to 2 devices connected simultaneously to the same IdUfac) will be automatically granted.
Other services:
Library Portal - Launched in 2014, the space allows students to consult UFAC's bibliographic collection, as well as reserve books to be taken out of the Library. It is also possible to renew a loan as long as the student is not overdue. The username and password required for access are the same as those currently used on the Student Portal. Soon, however, the “universal” credential from “My Access” will be required.
Communication Portal - Launched in 2012, this Portal is integrated with the Student and Teacher Portals and allows information to be made available to students. The teacher also has the option of sending certain information to the emails of the students in a particular class, hence the importance of students keeping their email address up to date on the Student Portal.
Access to Capes Journals - Capes journals can be accessed freely by any user who is on the Ufac campus. Access is not possible from the student's home or work. “In order to allow this access, a proxy service has been made available for use by people who need to access the journals from a network outside UFAC,” says the NTI director. For more information on the procedures that need to be carried out, we recommend reading the manual available at the following address http://redesemfio.ufac.br. It should also be noted that the IdUfac credential is required to use this Proxy.
