Upgrade Information

Effective December 2, 2009, faculty, staff, and students will be using SiS 9.0.

Updates Everyone Should Know 

As we move to the upgraded platform, there is some universal information everyone should know about:

  • Login. You will login to the new 9.0 system using the same username and password that you use in 8.0.
  • Navigation.  You will notice that navigation to pages has been modified within the application. Training tools are available to assist.
  • Adding Favorites.  You will now have the ability to add favorite pages just as you do within a browser. You no longer have to worry about navigating to frequently used pages. Just access your Favorites, and, with one click, you are there.
  • System Availability.  With the exception of planned maintenance, SiS 9.0 will be available 24 hours per day.  Faculty and Student Self-Service can be accessed from anywhere in the world with a computer and internet connection.
  • Help.  Integrated Help is provided within the new SiS to assist you with any tasks you are seeking to complete.  The 'Help' button will launch you into the UPK tool.  (read more about UPK)
