Thursday May 15th 7 p.m. to Tuesday May 20th 8 a.m.
We are pleased to announce that we are upgrading our PeopleSoft Campus Solutions/HR system. This upgrade includes numerous enhancements to existing functionality, and introduces new capabilities that allow us to both improve our operations, and to enhance the range of self-service offerings for our students.
Why upgrade?
We use PeopleSoft’s Student Administration & Human Resources software to support a number of key areas in Sheridan, including Admissions, Student Records, Financial Aid, Academic Advisement, Student Finance, Contributor Relations, Human Resources and Payroll.
PeopleSoft is continually adding new features to the software. To take advantage of these features Sheridan needs to periodically apply updates to our system. This upgrade is significant, as it includes 5 years of new capability.
With this upgrade, the overall look and feel of the system will remain very similar to what you have been using to-date. The new features, however, will enhance a number of areas including communications, myStudent Centre, international admissions, transcripts, checklists, awards, graduating processing, and test scores.
You will hear more about the specific changes in the weeks ahead.
When will the system be down?
Thursday May 15th 7:00 p.m. to Tuesday May 20th 8:00 a.m.
The project team will be moving the upgraded system into production over the May long weekend to keep service disruptions to a minimum. Please stay tuned for more information as we move closer to that date.
How does this affect you?
The system will be down and unavailable to all faculty, staff and students during the upgrade period. Once the upgrade is complete you will continue to access the system via AccessSheridan as you did previously.
What else is affected?
Many third party systems and applications connect to PeopleSoft for student information. A complete list of affected systems will be communicated as we move closer to the upgrade period.
