ArcGIS Online (Academic use)

 

ArcGIS Online is a cloud-based mapping platform that allows users to share their GIS data and maps on the cloud. With ArcGIS Online you can accomplish most of the tasks you can in a traditional GIS desktop and all you need is a browser!

 

Students, faculty, and staff at Clemson University can create their own ArcGIS Online account for academic purposes (instruction and research) by following the instructions below. For operational and administrative purposes, review our guidelines here. 

​

CREDITS: 

Our Clemson users share the total amount of credits that are allocated to our University account. Each new user has a 3,000 credit limit. We ask new users to become familiar with credit usage here and be cautious about running large spatial analysis or reports on ArcGIS Online. Remember that any GIS analysis or GeoEnrichment activity that you do in ArcGIS Online can be done in ArcGIS Pro without consuming any credits! 

 

USER PERMISSIONS:

CCGT has set up some defaults to new user accounts that limit the number of credits and functionality so that we can ensure the fair distribution of credits amongst all of our users. Below is a list of capabilities Clemson user accounts have:​

If your user account needs more resources than our default user, we can set up an exception for you and your group. Please contact us and make sure to specify your needs. One of our GIS Specialists will get back to you as soon as possible. To qualify for this exception, it is imperative you understand ArcGIS Online best practices and credit usage.
