Campus Solutions 9.2 Advisory Group

NOW SEEKING VOLUNTEERS!
We have come to a point where we are in need of campus user input and are seeking volunteers for the Campus Solutions 9.2 Advisory Group.

After an initial kick off meeting, tentatively planned for November 2018, the Advisory Group will serve to provide feedback on the look and design of Campus Solutions 9.2, especially as it relates to the student “fluid interface.”  In addition, this group will be some of the first campus end users to be asked to test current delivered, customized, and modified functionality.

The initial required time commitment from group members will be minimal through January, with meetings a couple times a month.  Once Campus Solutions is available for testing, members may be asked to test up to 5 hours per week, depending on module and functionality being tested.  We will use technology for meetings so there should be no need to travel away from your office.

As we’ll need each User Group represented, please discuss during your September User Group call, and forward the volunteer’s contact information (name, e-mail, and phone) to the Project Manager, Betsy Watts (elizabeth.watts@ndus.edu). We thank you for your consideration and look forward to collaborating with the 9.2 Advisory Group for a successful upgrade!
