Student Information Systems Website Refresh
The Student Information Systems (SIS) team is working to replace its current SIS for Staff website with a more secure, modern, and up to date SharePoint site. It’s a development that will provide users with an improved user experience thanks to its new design, accessible interface, extended search results and accessibility features.
Users will be able to gain access to additional, secure information since SharePoint requires UTORid authentication. In addition to this added security, the SIS team has also worked on enhancing content accuracy, and website structure and design.
The new SIS SharePoint site is scheduled to launch later this fall.
SharePoint online is supported on several commonly used web browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Microsoft Edge.
