A couple of notes about using the new site:
- You can return to the home page by clicking on the DaFIS header in the left corner of the Web page

We hope you’ll find the site helpful and informative.

The highlight of this release:
- CAS Login Screen. Consistent with the campus’ plan to move systems toward a more secure and reliable authentication process, Decision Support now uses the Central Authentication Service (CAS) instead of Distauth to access the system. You still use your UCD login ID and Kerberos password; however, the login screen refers to CAS instead of to Distauth.
