Instructions For Downloading SRTI Departmental and Individual Section Reports
These instructions can be downloaded as a PDF file here. In Fall 2008, we began distributing the new SRTI departmental summary and course section reports electronically. The reports are .PDF files and require a PDF reader such as Adobe’s free Acrobat Reader in order to view or print them. We are using the University’s “UDrive” storage system to securely distribute reports.

About UDrive
UDrive is an easy-to-use, Web-based file storage and sharing system that allows you to access your files from on and off campus, using any computer with an Internet connection.
Setting Access Permissions
Each department will have its own folder on the OAPA UDrive. Permission to access that folder will only be given to the SRTI coordinator for that department.
Report Distribution
When the SRTI reports are ready for your department, we will send you an email to let you that you have access to the folder. The email will include a Web link to your department's SRTI folder. The actual report files will not be attached to the email.
Click on the Web link to access your folder. You will be prompted for your NetID (OIT Account user name) and UMail password. If you do not remember your UMail password, visit https://netid.oit.umass.edu for instructions on how to retrieve it.
Once you enter your NetID and password, you will be brought to your department’s SRTI folder where you will see the SRTI reports that need to be downloaded for the current semester. It is very important that you download all the reports for the current semester as we will be deleting these files when the next semester begins.
Downloading files
UDrive compresses your files as .ZIP files. To open and view these files once you've downloaded them, you'll need WinZip (Windows) or StuffIt Expander (Macintosh).
