Please note that if a system/interface is not available, reasonable but limited attempts will be made to fix the problem. There will be no HR or Financial Services staff available to help resolve problems for administrators.

Re: Student System Application Support During 2020 Holiday Closure
Hi everyone,
We will be maintaining the same levels of application support for Student Systems over the December break as we have in other years. ACORN and other student information services will be available over the holidays and will be checked periodically to ensure they are running. We will respond to Enterprise Service Centre tickets when we return at the beginning of January.
Please note that online payments will be recorded as “pending” in students’ ACORN accounts from December 23, 2020 to 3-5 business days after January 4, 2021. Bank payments will be updated on January 4, 2021.
See a detailed description of support.
Happy holidays and we’ll see you in the New Year!

Dear ROSI users,
We will be updating the ACORN Launchpad on Tuesday, December 15 for an hour from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. During this time, users may experience difficulties reaching the site.
Please note: this is not the ACORN application itself – students and staff will still be able to login to ACORN and associated student information systems during this time.
Following is a list of student facing applications that can be reached directly:
- ACORN
- Course Finder
- Timetable Builder
- Degree Explorer
- GPA Calculator
- Financial Planning Calculator
- Award Explorer
- Career & Co-Curricular Learning Network (CLNx)
- StarRez
- Transfer Explorer
- Course Evaluation
A notice will be posted on the ACORN launchpad so that students are aware of the outage, and we will post on our social media channels.
Thank you for your patience as we make these improvements.
