- You'll need to be on UF's VPN (instructions below)
- Start here. https://irb.ufl.edu/myirb/myirb.html

- You will need to request an account from the IRB. It typically takes them a couple of days to process this before you are added to the system & study IRB protocol.

- Sign up at: https://one.uf.edu
- Graduate Information Management System (GIMS)
- https://gradschool.ufl.edu/gimsportal/gatorlink/portal.asp Haven't had to use this yet, but this looks like where you track your progress. You just need to sign on using your Gatorlink account information
- Transportation
- Bus
- You can ride all busses for free with Gator1 card
- Bikes
- You can rent bikes for the semester/year here: http://bikes.ufl.edu/gator-gears/
- Bike Shops (if you decide to buy, get a good lock and register your bike with the gainesville police (http://p2c.gainesvillepd.org/bikeregistration.aspx) because apparently there are A LOT of thefts here)
- Bike Works
- Gator Cycle
- Super Cool Bike Shop
- Bus
- Parking on Campus
- DECALS: http://parking.ufl.edu/decals/students/ Parking decals can be ordered online for students and will be mailed to you.
- STUDENTS: You can pay weekly ($15), monthly ($35), semester ($80) ($160), or annually for parking passes. If you are deciding between semester or annual passes, note that for semester this does NOT include summer, so you will have to pay an additional $80 on top of the two $80 for each semester (total: $240), whereas annual includes summer in the $160 price.
- When you apply they will know if you are a graduate student or other type of student etc. When you enter your gatorlink info.
- On the parking map (http://parking.ufl.edu/parking-at-uf/parking-map/) green areas are for graduate students, and anywhere that it says "Any decal" you can park.
- Welcome Center Parking Garage (Museum Rd & Reitz Union Drive): A surefire place to park if you just need to run errands on campus during the day (cost = $2/hour)
- Gym/Rec Facilities:
- I haven't tried to use the gym yet, but I think as long as you are enrolled as an active student, you can use your Gator1 card to access the gyms/pools on campus and Lake Wauburg for free; I'm checking with the department to see if they cover our "activity fee" to be able to use these things
- Health Insurance:
- You can opt out of the Gator GradCare health insurance if you have your own (http://healthcompliance.shcc.ufl.edu/insurance/waiver/)
- NSF = different; United HealthCare
- ALEX --> UF’s employee benefits online advisor for picking health plans based on expected needs: https://benefits.hr.ufl.edu/my-benefits/explore/
- Computing:
- You get 1 TB of free online storage through OneDrive (like Google Drive; can create/collaborate on docs with people & upload docs from your computer to here)

- For each person in your lab whom you would like to have access to your data you will need to have them request a HiPerGator account under your sponsorship via the HiPerGator Account Request Page at https://www.rc.ufl.edu/access/account-request/
