Ready to Register?

The Campus Solutions team spent this week focused primarily on communicating to students and preparing for Fall 2013 Registration, which starts Monday, April 8. Students seem to be picking up the new system fast, as by yesterday evening they had added some 2,369 courses to their shopping carts. Yes, that’s right, “shopping cart.” That’s something students are quite familiar with in other online venues.

The Office of the Registrar has a one-stop page for students to access all the information and instructions they may need at pugetsound.edu/registration. A series of posters around campus and on monitors in Wheelock and the Library are advertising the drop-in sessions scheduled to assist students next week. Representatives from the Registrar, Advising, and Technology Services will be available to help in Library 034 between 8:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. from Monday, April 8, to Thursday, April 11, or between 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Friday, April 12.

Congrats and Thanks to Optimize Student Staff

The end of Spring semester brings happy thoughts of the many student staff supporting Optimize Puget Sound! Congratulations to Garrett Dieckmann ’12 who is joining the Enterprise Information Systems team as our new implementation developer. Extra special thanks to Lexie Gallegos ’15, Kenzie Miller ’13, and Andy Galbraith ’13 for their hard work during the 2011-12 academic year. Lexie will return in the fall to continue her good work, while this summer, Kenzie, Erin Bryne ’13, and Corinn Hillstrom ’14 will assist the project team.

The Financials team continues configuration as they prepare for go-live on July 1. Mike Staton from MIS is set to guide the team through creating the approval framework, a critical part of the purchasing cycle. Teri Mills and Ed Barber have tested the Punchout catalog. Ed has also been working with buyers across campus to standardize the new purchasing system. 

In Campus Solutions, Mattie Watts from Student Financial Services and MIS consultant Robbie de Leur set up PeopleSoft tables, a major step in learning the program and building accurate data in the system. Ellen Peters, Alyce DeMarais, and Carol White are working with the Data Standards Committee to establish demographic conventions and a process for checking duplicate records.
