NAU ITS Updates

The week of September 27, 2021, all cloud-based Collaborate Ultra and Zoom recordings created before May 10, 2021 will be deleted from their respective servers. Make sure to download any cloud-based recordings you need before September 27. NOTE: As of August 13, 2021, cloud recordings from NAU’s Zoom service are automatically being uploaded to NAU’s Kaltura media server. For more information, view our:

To ensure the safety of our Lumberjack community online this semester, NAU will be requiring Two-Step Verification to access NAU-related services including NAU’s Central Authentication System (CAS), Bb Learn, PeopleSoft (LOUIE), and NAU Gmail. Two-Step Verification is the most effective tool to protect your personal information and limit exposure to attempts of fraud including compromised passwords (phished, guessed, or stolen) from being used to login to University resources. Two-Step Verification prevents attackers from accessing your accounts even if they have your password.

If you have not enrolled in Two-Step Verification yet, you will receive additional communication throughout the fall semester indicating your required enrollment date. Get a head start and enroll today!

As a part of the regular life cycle of Zoom and Collaborate meeting recordings, the next round of deletions will occur on June 21, 2021. At that time, all Zoom and Collaborate cloud recordings made between January 1, 2019 and June 1, 2019 will be deleted.Recording owners may download their recordings prior to deletion if they need to be retained past the regular lifecycle. Recordings will not be administratively backed up before deletion, so recording deletions will be permanent.

• If you no longer need your recordings, no action is necessary. ITS will delete the recordings for you after four major terms.
• To download your Collaborate recordings, log into Blackboard at bblearn.nau.edu, and follow these steps.
• To download your Zoom recordings, log into Zoom at nau.edu/zoom, and follow these steps (under “Viewing cloud recording settings”)
• Once you’ve downloaded your media, you can upload it to Kaltura in order to share with others. If you just need to store your media long term, your NAU Google Drive is another great option.
