Campus Community

Oracle Campus Community includes everything that is shared among different Student Management product areas, whether person records or common setup objects for implementing Student Management.

Self-Service: View Person Locale Preferences

Students and applicants can go to their Profile page to view their preferred date, time, and number format, as well as their current time zone setting.

Process Communications

Send emails with the date, time, and number fields automatically formatted according to the recipient's preferred settings.

Set Up Checklists and Tasks

The enrollment supervisors can enact greater organizational efficiency through document submission tasks in task setup. A document can be submitted of a particular type, such as a transcript or recommendation letter.

Assign Checklists and Tasks

Institutional administrators will benefit from greater organizational control, as they can assign a task to an individual person. The person can be retrieved during a person search, assigned a task from the actions menu, apply additional configuration settings, and then perform task assignment. Due dates can also be modified at the time of task assignment, and admissions applications associated with the task, as well as enabling and disabling communications. By default, communication events are triggered at the time of assignment of a task and completion of a task.

Complete Checklists and Tasks

The institution administrator can view or complete the tasks assigned to a student or applicant. The student can be located using Person Search, followed by navigation to the "To-Dos" tab. All tasks can be viewed that are assigned to the student, whether incomplete or completed, with drill-down capabilities into task detail. Tasks can also be completed on the person's behalf. If the task is a document submission task, a document can be uploaded and submitted documents can be downloaded.

Set Up External Organizations

Institution administrators can view the history of previously deleted external organization locations. External organization identifiers can be deleted and recreated multiple times on the same date.

Create and Edit External Organization Subjects and Courses

Institution administrators can create and edit external organization subjects and courses, which will support the future transfer credit process and enable configuration of this feature during the implementation process.

Send Date-Based Communications

Send email reminders to students that are based on dates. You can specify the rule when a reminder is automatically sent. For example, set a rule that an email reminder should be sent to students three days before a tuition bill is due.

Student Financials

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.

Select Eligible Curriculum in Sponsorship Assignments

Course curriculum can be selected while assigning a student to a sponsorship, providing more flexibility for finer control when adding eligible students to a sponsorship.

Student Records

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.

Set Up Transcript Types

Institution administrators will define the structure and content of transcript records, enabling configuration to begin on student transcripts during implementation.

Select an Institution for an Academic Level

Institution administrators can define explicit ownership over an academic level.

Self-Service: View Design Enhancements to Student Pages

Students can view search results in a more organized layout, with separate tabs for courses and programs. They can also see the latest version of placeholder images for catalog items. In mobile pages, they can now see the branding logo.

Self-Service: View Programs and Courses by Storefront

Students can avoid confusion as their view will only include the academic programs and courses that belong to the particular storefront they are associated with.

Student Admissions

Oracle Student Admissions enables users to enter, track, and process the submission of the admissions applications.

Set Up Communications

New tokens -- academic program, academic program URL, descriptive text, and primary point of contact -- are added to the communication templates delivered when an application gets submitted and after an admissions decision is made.

Evaluate Admissions Applications

Offer the decision option of waitlist when completing a manual application evaluation.

Create Enhanced Admissions Reports

Create reports relevant to the most current record for form builder sections that may have historical records, both form name and display name, and attachment category.

Advisement

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.

Set Up Program Timeline Structure

Registrars gain additional traceability when reviewing the Academic Plan Templates, as templates cannot be deleted if they have been previously assigned to a student via the Student Planner. Registrars gain the ability to ensure that any changes to academic requirements in the program, display the correct and up to date requirements when creating an academic plan template.
