Our office developed a new VA Education Benefits website to better serve our students and help them to understand the services provided by our VA and Military Benefits team

Professional Student Graduation Application Load

Our office partnered with UIT to update the Appworx job (SHR1790) that loads new graduation candidates into the graduation pool. It was updated to also load PharmD students’ as graduation candidates so that the loading of this population would no longer involve manual data entry.

SSB Diploma Name Entry - PharmD Students

Our office partnered with UIT to update the diploma name entry in Self-Service to allow PharmD students to submit their diploma names online.

Ad Hoc Lite 2.0

As part of the planned transition away from BI Query, our office partnered with IAR to develop CORE ad hoc lite reports to meet more users' data needs as many users will be using CORE in lieu of BI Query in the future. Three reports were developed and focus on transcript, degree, and registration data.

Veteran Education Intake Survey

Our office developed a communication tool designed to target newly admitted students who will use VA education benefits or military tuition assistance at OSU.  The intake tool guides students through the steps to begin using their benefits at OSU, directs them to tuition programs for which they may qualify, and creates a secure and user-friendly way to submit critical information and documentation to the VA and Military Certifying Team.

PDF Diplomas

In spring 2020, our office began offering PDF diplomas to graduates via our diploma vendor. In addition to offering the Adobe’s blue-ribbon certification to communicate authenticity, the service allows a recipient of the PDF to click on a link to verify the authenticity of the diploma in real time.

Commencement Appworx Jobs

The transition to Institutional Awarding involved the updating of several commencement-related jobs including this one, which pulls names and addresses for the annual commencement postcard mailing. The job was updated to include not only those students who were graduates and candidates for graduation for the past year, but also the students graduating in future terms who had RSVP’d to the commencement ceremony.

DISP Name Type in Preferred Name Field - HR Implementation

Our office partnered with HR to create a nightly process where the preferred name field, which HR uses for employees, is populated with the DISP name type data from the student employee’s student record.

Change of Grading Basis Workflow

In order to help better serve students and advisors during the Spring 2020 remote term and beyond, the Office of the Registrar launched a Change of Grading Basis form in Online Services. This eliminated the need for the submission of paper forms.
