Ready, Set, Learn about the New Student Administration (SA) System
You’ve heard about Student Administration (SA), but do you know how it will impact you or how you will use it?
The Admissions Module of Student Implementation is scheduled to be deployed in early October. Coinciding with this implementation is the implementation of the new Document Imaging Application called ImageNow. Both SA Admissions and ImageNow will provide improved functionality to the Academic Departments to review student application data, including supporting documentation. What you see, and how it is displayed, is dependent on two factors; are you involved with undergraduate or graduate admissions, and what is your role in the department?
To prepare you for this implementation, the SA Training Team has been busy developing several learning events:
• Lunch & Learn Series
• GPD/GPC Training
The events are designed to introduce the academic departments to the new Application Summary tool to replace OVR, and to introduce the Graduate Program Directors and Graduate Program Coordinators to SADI (Student Administration Document Imaging). Training for each respective role will begin in September, and will be presented in a Lunch & Learn demonstration and/or a hands-on training class. A list of planned events for the SA Admissions and Document Imaging implementation follows, and can also be found on the SA website at http://www.umbc.edu/sa.
