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.

User-Defined Task Statuses

Business analysts can set up and associate a user-defined status scheme with a task so that users who are assigned the task can track progress with statuses relevant to their institutions and business processes.

Program Tokens for Task and Checklist Communications

Use program tokens to communicate program-specific information within a communication. Business analysts can add program tokens while setting up communication events for:

  • Task assigned
  • Checklist assigned
  • Task due
  • Checklist due

Status Scheme Management

Create groups of statuses for use within tasks. Business analysts can define a status scheme and decide which statuses to include. These statuses are mapped to a type, such as in progress or completed. The status schemes are then associated with tasks to allow end users to select those institution-specified statuses while completing their tasks.

Multi-Region Email Configuration

Design email content with multiple regions, such as body regions and action regions. Regions offer flexibility to the business analyst to move them up and down or remove them in a modular fashion.

Actionable Email Enhancements

Users viewing actionable emails will experience a more intuitive, easy-to-use look and feel for the action buttons and improved performance when responding within emails.

Branding Logo on All Logo-Enabled Pages

View your own configured branding logo or the Oracle logo when no branding logo is configured. Institutions can ensure all pages include the same branding logo throughout the application rather than only on student-facing pages.

Person Profile Residency Management Using a REST API

Get, create, update, and delete student residency information originating from a source system outside of Student Management.

SECURITY

Bulk Assignment of Roles to Pages

Security administrators can configure page access (with automatically defaulted data access) more efficiently by assigning multiple roles and role groups to pages and page groups at one time.

Minimum Age Enforcement for a Proxy

Enforce minimum age for a proxy to be added to a proxy group. Administrators can define a minimum age requirement for a proxy.

Default Access Assignments Enhancements

Security administrators can assign default page permissions and data access to roles for individual pages. They can also assign full data access to delivered roles using global data profiles.

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.

Bank Account Payment Acceptance in Business Unit Format for All Countries

Higher education institutions worldwide can set the default country in Oracle Fusion Receivables to the country where their business unit resides. When users make payments, they now see the appropriate bank account fields. Previously, support for bank payments was only for the US and Denmark.

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.

Student Statistics Calculation

Calculated enrollment units will always include in-progress units that earn credit. Learners, Registrars and other users will see a clearer picture of a student's in-progress units for an academic period.

Removal of Transcript Type and Transcript Note Setup

The Manage Transcript Types and Manage Transcript Notes setup tasks are no longer available. (Although you could use these tasks to enter transcript setup data, there was no related transcript processing.) Redesigned transcript setup is planned for a future release.

Student Admissions

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

Cancellation and Withdrawal of an Admissions Application

Administrators can cancel an admissions application that is incomplete after the application deadline. They can also withdraw an admissions application on behalf of an applicant who no longer wants to be considered for admission.
