PeopleSoft systems and applications

Student systems

The Student Systems team in UIT’s University Support Services (USS) designs, develops, improves, and supports student-facing PeopleSoft technologies for Academic Affairs, Admissions, Advising, Enrollment Management, Financial Aid, Scholarships, Student Affairs, and Tuition & Billing. 

The team:

• Queries student-centric PeopleSoft data for dashboards, feeds, and web apps that help organizations do their work (e.g., the background data behind Financial & Business Services’ tuition estimator)
• Supports and maintains U-wide student systems, services, and apps that integrate with PeopleSoft, including Parchment for transcripts, Slate, the Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS), and Ad Astra room scheduling system
• Provides user experience/user interface (UX/UI) services in partnership with UIT’s Website Support & Usability team
• Implements and supports third-party app integrations with PeopleSoft
• Consults on new student software purchases that integrates with PeopleSoft
• Works with the Student Information System Technology Committee (SISTC) and the campus community to prioritize and manage IT projects related to PeopleSoft student systems
• Engages with core users, though the team is delighted to talk with anyone wishing to advance student technologies at the U

Finance and Auxiliary systems

Have you ever made a purchase through UShop? Perhaps while pursuing a grant you’ve used e-Proposal or the Research Portal? If so, credit the Finance & Auxiliary team for making it happen.

Based in USS, the team supports and maintains a host of web apps and systems critical to daily operations on campus and in its hospital and clinics.

In addition to general financial tools, here are some of the complementary tools available to the U’s faculty and research community: Grants Processing, Effort Distribution Reporting (EDR), PAR Certifications (ePAR), eAwards, Faculty Time Assistant (FTA), Research Portal, and PI Planning tools.

HR systems

A considerable amount of time, coordination, and user testing goes in to preparing an IT application or system for members of the U of U and U of U Health communities. The UBenefits portal (login required) is an excellent example.

For years, U faculty, staff, and students had to fill out paper forms or editable PDFs to change benefits, reallocate investment contributions, or apply for tuition reduction. Today, these tasks are completely paperless and handled by PeopleSoft-integrated web forms within the portal.
