Re: Updates to the SIS Website: Enhancements for Improved User Experience

 

Dear SIS Users,

We are delighted to share some exciting news regarding recent enhancements to the Student Information Systems (SIS) website. These changes were implemented to improve usability, enhance information search capabilities, and ensure the confidentiality of sensitive data.

1. Policies Menu: We’ve added two new pages under the “Policies” drop-down menu:
  • Managing Confidential Information: This page has been updated to provide clear guidelines on handling sensitive data.
  • Sharing Data Safely: A new page dedicated to ensuring the safety of student, staff, and faculty data when submitting ESC tickets or delivering presentations.
2. Help & Support: The Help & Support page has been redesigned for better navigation. Key improvements include:
  • Clear sections and categories to quickly find relevant information.
  • Expanded system documentation.
  • Introduction to the new ESC Service Commitment, i.e., our operational standards.
  • Direct access to submit tickets via the Enterprise Service Centre Support Links page.
3. SIS Learning Centre: We’ve introduced a new drop-down menu called “SIS Learning Centre” in the top menu bar. Here’s what it includes:
  • Onboarding: A dedicated page for new SIS users.
  • SIS eLearning: Redesigned for easier access to essential information.
  • ROSI Guides and Manuals: All the guides have been recently updated, and they are now conveniently relocated to a distinct standalone section.
  • Perform Downloads in ROSI: A quick guide for performing downloads in ROSI.
  • Customize ROSI Appearance: Instructions on how to personalize your ROSI on-screen experience.
Lastly, to align with other University of Toronto websites, we’ve added a direct link to the “U of T Home” website in our menu.

Please explore these updates and feel free to provide feedback. We’re committed to continuously improving the SIS website to better serve our community.

Thank you for your attention, and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Sincerely,
Student Information Systems
