Phase I – Student Center

Fluid Navigation allows students to more easily access information across multiple platforms. Fluid allows pages to render correctly on any size screen.

WHAT CHANGED

Students will a student homepage and tiles to navigate to pages. Tiles are a way of accessing a group of pages, a single page or a hyperlink.

Students currently see four tiles on their homepage: TasksProfileStudent Center, and Enrollment Information.

Tasks

The Tasks Tile is used to communicate information about your account. Financial Aid and other offices use it to inform students of actions or tasks they need to complete. In addition, registration holds are displayed here, such as an Advising or Terms and Conditions. The Task tile always displays on your Homepage even if you do not have tasks to do, but the menu items (To Do List, Holds, Completed Agreements), ONLY display if you have a Task or a Hold assigned to you.

Profile

The Profile Tile will take you to personal information about you, the student. This is where you can update your preferred name, home email address, phone number, home/mail address.

Student Center Classic

The Student Center Tile will take you to the Student Center used in previous versions of PeopleSoft/SOLAR. Student Center includes most student functions but it is not mobile-responsive (it does not size to your device).

WHAT IS NOT CHANGING

The pages and functionality behind the system are not changing. This is a change to the look and feel of the navigation. 

HOMEPAGE SELECTOR

Some students have an additional role on campus (Work Study Student, staff, or faculty member). Each role has a different Homepage with tiles and navigation specific to the functions of that role. To navigate between Homepages, use the center drop-down menu on the banner, called the Homepage Selector.
