ArcGIS (online and pro)
ArcGIS is a Geographical Information System (GIS) for working with maps and geographic information. University of Glasgow organisational licenses are available to all students and staff for use.
Access:
ArcGIS Online (via web browser):
If using ArcGIS Online for the first time, follow these steps to set up SSO access before getting started.
ArcGIS Pro desktop is available to download from ArcGIS Online.
Set up Single Sign-On (SSO) for your ArcGIS account
All new UofG students and staff users must use single sign-on (SSO) for ArcGIS.
To set up your account to log in using SSO:
- Go to ArcGIS and select Sign In.
- Select Your ArcGIS organisation's URL.
- Enter uofglasgow in the field beside maps.arcgis.com.
- Place a tick in the box beside 'Remember this URL' and select Continue.
- Select University of Glasgow Staff & Students and follow the standard single sign-on login.
If you're thinking of updating an existing, older account to support SSO login:
- Your ArcGIS system administrator can help if you have content that needs to be migrated to a new account or if you collaborate with others and share ArcGIS Online content. Administrative contacts can be found within the system once you are logged in.
- SSO access is for research and teaching usage
- Using SSO will give you full provision of the software from our educational license
Estates users
- Operational users (e.g., Estates) can obtain access, but this is via a separate ArcGIS organisation. This access can be requested via the UofG Helpdesk.
