Regis University Vision continued

After a prospective student has been informed about institutional navigation and how to matriculate (tutoring) and before an academic advising session, s/he must be entered into the student records system in some manner. This usually means they have been given the directions to “apply.” Applications are important in that they allow a prospect to be recognized as “applicant” or “student” on the systems. These different status determinations allow prospects to move from being outside an institution to being inside. Indeed, status on the student records system determines what access is allowed at what stage of entry, and when and how access to “student services” begins.

These functions will be automated through our scenarios:

1. Students will be able to determine themselves if their admissions file is complete.  This means in Undergraduate programs that the Application Form is filled out, and in Graduate and SHCP that all components of the application file have been submitted, i.e., letter of recommendation, transcripts, etc. This is necessary before they can set up an advising session. The first set of scenarios queries the system as to the admissions file status.

2. The second set of scenarios allow the student whose file is complete how to get his library card and access to a RegisNet account. Students in SPS undergraduate division can begin class before formal acceptance. Hence the need for Library access at the start. The RegisNet account will allow students to apply for e-mail on the Regis system but will also allow them access to vital information about their academic programs that is specifically for Regis students.

3. The third set of scenarios prompts the student to make an advising appointment.
