How you can help:

Contribute. At some point you’ll probably get involved in a SEADS-related project. Maybe you administer a campus database, schedule activities for your club, or work with academic records in your department. Because such day-to-day activities will be affected by SEADS, team members will be looking to you for guidance about how best to structure a new system.

Be Imaginative. ‘Business-as-usual’ is not necessarily ‘best practice.’ Help the SEADS team think of innovative new ways to approach a problem.

Be Receptive. New solutions often mean new ways of doing things. Keeping an open mind about change makes change easier.

Projects

Brief Summary of Current Projects:

• Registration: enables one course catalog that displays courses from both campuses; makes the registration process consistent for students from either campus for courses taken at either campus; ends the need for manual and error- prone transfers of course registration data.
• Advising: enables faculty on either campus to have access to student course and major information regardless of the student’s home institution; includes degree and major audit functions to assist advisors and students in designing their program and courses for current semester registration and throughout a student’s academic career.
• OneCard System: allows all capabilities a student has on their home campus to work the same way on the other campus, including building access, bookstore charges, coop charges.
• Identity Management: provides both robust security and behind-the-scenes management of individuals and their appropriate seamless access to systems and data across both campuses.
• Scheduling: will enable the scheduling of rooms to be fully automated factoring in all important criteria, and can be done across both campuses as needed.
