The MyOswego student profile has been redesigned to ease student access.
According to Jerret LeMay, a registrar at Oswego State, one new feature is that students can see their hold information, which advisors cannot see. There isn’t as much clicking around as there was with the old system. Le May hopes the new student profile “can provide a better experience while facilitating student success in some small way.
Besides the new student profile, another change that came to the MyOswego web is found in the registration tab. This comes with additional search features and access to course information.
Sophomore Gustavo Tejeda finds the new interface to more helpful and is excited to to try the registration and planning section next semester when he has to register for classes.
“I do like that everything is in one spot,” Tejada said. “I think it’ll be easier to register and plan for my courses.”
Sophomore Jermaine Gayle likes how organized the system is and he can find things faster and easier than before.
“There is no run around for information,” Gayle said.
Many of the new features of the registration and planning section would not have been possible on the old interface. Some of these features include the plan ahead area, viewing students’ registration information and the Degree Work plan.
“Probably the greatest potential impact is the ability to directly connect to degree planning,” LeMay said.
These new options are available to help students stay on track to graduate and to avoid registration issues.
Not only did students get a new self-service interface but so did faculty and advisors.
“It’s nice to see offerings that are built with user experience in mind,” LeMay said.
He encourages students to spend time at his office website reading or watching short videos about the new features.
According to LeMay, the Campus Technology Services has been very helpful with creating these new systems. The goal is to create better experiences for students, faculty, advisors and staff. LeMay said he is looking forward to “more updates and moving to the point of greater system integration and access.”
