Redirect Self-Service Users to the Home Page
Redirect users automatically to the self-service home page after they sign up and set their password. To enable this redirection, use the User Category Name field on the Manage User Role Mapping page. The User Category Name field contains the URL of the home page, and is set up through the Security Console.
You can configure the student and administrative pages to fit your academic institution’s branding. Select a logo of the institution and a branding color for these pages. Preview the branding configuration, for both mobile devices and desktop, before saving the configuration.
Use the new person management pages to search, view, and edit an applicant or student's personal details, such as name, address, email ID, and emergency contacts. You can also view the communications sent to a particular applicant or student, such as an applicant admitted confirmation email, and resend a communication, if needed.
Self-Service: Viewing Communications
Students and applicants can tap or click the bell icon to view the communications sent to them. They can filter these communications, such as view communications that the academic institution sent to them during the last 30 days, last 60 days, or view communications for a specific date range.
Oracle Student Financials is a tool for higher education institutions to manage student receivables, billing, and payment collection. Using Student Financials, both staff and students can quickly find and use the financial information they need to make critical decisions. Staff can actively manage student accounts by performing functions such as creating charges, accepting payments, processing refunds, and generating receipts.
Simplify student bill-paying by assigning a sponsorship credit to a sponsorship agreement. A sponsorship agreement occurs between an educational institution and external organization. This allows the latter to manage the students who are eligible for sponsorship as well as determine whether to pay some or all charges that appear on a student's bill.
Automatically charge an application fee when a student submits an application for admission. Use the Manage Miscellaneous Fees page to set up the application fee.
Oracle Student Records enables you to set up and maintain your academic structures, curriculum structures and items, and academic calendars. You can enter, track, and process all academic information – from the course catalog and schedule of courses to student programs. You can enroll, grade, and evaluate students.
Create Transcript Types and Transcript Notes
Create transcript types such as official and online. Create student-specific and curriculum-specific transcript notes.
Associate an Academic Level with a Reporting Period
Associate an academic level with a reporting period so that you can group and sequence reporting periods to display curriculum data in the student planner. Use the new Academic Level tab on the Academic Period page when the period category is academic reporting.
Use the new Complete Program action to complete a program for a student. For example:
- Complete a student program when the student completes a final credential so that the student's academic record indicates the program completion.
- Complete one element of a student program such as a minor when the student has not yet completed a final credential.
Withdraw a student from a reporting period, using the Student Results page: Period Statistics tab.
Restrict Enrollment in Courses by Program
Specify a program as a requisite for course enrollment. For example, restrict enrollment in an Economics course to students with an Economics major.
Oracle Student Admissions enables users to enter, track, and process the submission of the admissions applications.
Use Form Builder for Applications
A new Relationships section allows an applicant to enter information about their relationships when filling out an application online, including name, contact information, and type of relationship. An admissions administrator can run reports on the fields and information the applicant provided in this new section.
Create Admissions Activity Reports
Administrators can now access reports for the admissions activity of a program, so they can better understand the data for that program. The admissions-related reports provide specific information for:
- Academic history
- Recommenders
- Extracurricular activity.
Manage Application Attachments
Administrators now have more options to add, edit, remove, or download attachments for an application. They can:
- Add attachments to an application after submission, no matter the status.
- Add attachments to an application even when no attachment sections were configured on the form.
- Edit, download, or remove all attachments.
The new applicant landing page includes more application-related information so students can complete tasks such as:
- Continuing an in-progress application
- Viewing a list of all applications that a student has saved and submitted
- Viewing an application's status.
- Viewing an admissions decision.
An applicant can now save their application progress and continue filling out the in-progress application at a later time, and the landing page now clearly communicates an application's status.
Oracle Advisement provides the ability to build out a curriculum guided pathway for students. It also provides a student planner that allows students to plan and enroll in courses and track their own academic progress.
Design an Academic Plan Template
You now have more options when creating and modifying academic plan templates. You can:
- Add or sequence courses in the academic plan without the need to leave the Add Program Requirements page.
- Create full- and part-time versions of the same template with different program structures, for example different numbers of semesters or years of study.
- Lock the academic plan, either overall, or for a particular period such as Semester 1, to ensure students can't remove or add courses to the academic plan for that period. This is useful for lockstep programs of study where students have to take all the courses within the program.
- View a course details popup within the Academic Plan page that provides course information from the curriculum registry.
