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.
Status Scheme Export and Import Processing
Export status schemes set up on one student environment and import them into another student environment.
Student Management Category Configuration
Create categories that can be associated with academic tools such as communications, events, tasks, and checklists. For example, when an administrator creates a task related to admissions, they can associate this task with the admissions category. Administrators can also easily map events to student management categories using a user-friendly, responsive search.
Global Time Zone Configuration
Define the time zones available to use in your Oracle Student Management Cloud implementation.
Mandatory Consent for Learners or Other Proxies to Join a Proxy Group
Consent is now always required for adding a learner or additional proxy user to a proxy group. Administrators can no longer turn off the requirement for consent for users of any age. The user experience has been optimized to detect if the user is adding an existing user to a proxy group or instead needs to create a new user for adding to the proxy group.
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.
Assign a type value to fee groups to distinguish fee groups used for tuition calculation from those used for payment application processing. Administrators will also see an updated, more intuitive user interface for managing fee groups.
Assign individual fees or fee groups to a charge priority mapping to define a grouping of common fees that can be paid by student credits. Administrators use a charge priority mapping to indicate the priority in which payments are applied to fees or charges.
Receipt Method Assignment for Student Credits
Associate student payment receipt methods with student credits. Payment application processing uses this association and the charge priority mapping to apply payments to charges based on institutional business requirements. Bursars can easily complete this configuration by going into the Manage Student Credits page, creating a new student credit, and choosing the receipt method for the credit type.
Application of Payments and Other Student Credits to Charges
Configure payments to apply only to charges defined on the charge priority mapping assigned to the associated credit. Administrators see only eligible charges when creating receipts and defining which charges the receipt applies to. Additionally, unapplied credits are automatically applied to other eligible charges based on the charge priority mapping configuration.
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.
Integrated Search and Update for Course List Configuration
Add elements, for example courses, to a course list with an integrated search component. Administrators can use the targeted search to better find elements to add to the course list. Additionally, they can view and edit the detail for existing course list elements without navigating away from the course list.
Student Statistics Recalculation
Student statistics, for example cumulative GPA, that were calculated in earlier releases can be recalculated when needed. Registrars can run a batch calculation process to identify students to have statistics recalculated and see updated statistics that include more granular result types than delivered in the 21A release.
Course Schedule Meeting Details Time Zone Configuration
Configure the time zone for course schedule meeting details in the curriculum registry. For example, Start Time: 9:00 AM Pacific Standard Time. Administrators control the time, date, and time zone displayed in the course catalog. They can also update course schedule time zones that already exist in the curriculum registry using a batch process.
Time Zone Display for Storefront
Time zone information is displayed alongside scheduled course meeting times in the storefront. For example: ART 100 - Introduction to Art, Mondays, 9:00 AM - 10:00AM Pacific Standard Time.
Full-Time Load Definition for Academic Level
Define a full-time minimum unit load for each academic level, such as undergraduate or graduate, where students are admitted to credit bearing programs or enroll in credit bearing courses.
Oracle Student Admissions enables users to enter, track, and process the submission of the admissions applications.
Billing Address Restrictions for Admissions Application Form
A billing address can no longer be removed when filling out an admissions application form. If an applicant attempts to remove a billing address, they get a clear message that this action isn't allowed.
Additional Academic History Fields on the Admissions Online Application Form
Add new fields within the online admissions application form. Applicants can then provide additional academic history information such as GPA weighting and student ID.
Automatic Task Status Update on Admission Application Cancel, Withdraw, or Revert
Automatically pause tasks that are not completed for an admissions application when the application is canceled or withdrawn. Automatically mark tasks that were paused as incomplete when a previously canceled or withdrawn admission application is reverted out of those states.
