Campus Solutions Product User Groups Update | Academic Newsletter | Seneca Polytechnic

by Susan Savoie, Academic Learning Services

in the Spring 2017 issue

The Campus Solutions Product User Groups strive to identify items in need of technical development (new features to existing functions), enhancement (new functions within existing systems), and adoption (new systems), as well as processes in need of review or improvement. They are comprised of two separate groups which work closely together to ensure consistency and agreement with the items being put forward and the priorities set for those items.

The Academic Product User Group was formed to ensure academic areas have a voice in identifying how various aspects of the system might be streamlined, modified, or adopted to better support their work along with reviewing some of the business processes and practices.

The Operations Product User Group operates in much the same manner, but is focused on the system functions and processes undertaken by the Registrar’s Office which support the wider Seneca community.

Below are some of the more visible undertakings.

Recent improvements now available:

1. Changes to the Print Class List process and report
2. New feature to allow for the printing of a structure timetable both one-off and in batch

Items prioritized and currently in development:

1. Student Number and Program Display added to the Advisor Centre and Student Services Center (Student) pages to provide better usability
2. System changes to make the grade submission completion clearer for faculty
3. Changes to the Level Update process to allow greater control of the selected population and to help with level assessment for students new to their current program of study

If you have any specific issues to bring forward, please reach out to your Faculty representative on the APUG.
