ICPSR MyClass Login

What It Is

In July 2007, ICPSR introduced MyClass, a mass registration process where faculty and librarians are able to reserve temporary user accounts for a class or training group who will be working with ICPSR data and resources.

Users of MyClass accounts can download and manipulate data without going through the process of establishing permanent MyData accounts. The benefit is that MyClass enables instructors to focus very little classroom time on the registration process and proceed directly to working with data. Data access is available immediately after creation of MyClass accounts. After a period of time that instructors specify, the temporary accounts will cease to exist.

How To Do It

To create MyClass accounts, you must have a valid MyData account and your institution must be a member of ICPSR. MyClass account creation can be found at http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/cgi-bin/bob/myclass (you will need to log in to MyData). Additional links to the MyClass page are found on the ICPSR home page within Quick Links or under the Courses & Learning Tools tab within Instructional Resources.

Future

This is the first phase of what is expected to be multiple phases of MyClass development. Future phases of MyClass might provide temporary collaboration space that enables instructors to place ICPSR resources materials and links into predefined folders, has import/export capabilities, and enables users to create, extract, and save online analysis code, variables, and output into the space. We encourage your input on its development.

If you have questions or suggestions, please contact the Data Services Librarian.
