Project Summary: 

Purpose

In Spring 2020, OSU will implement Schedule of Classes: PATH. OSU purchased a suite of tools from LeepFrog Technologies which integrate with Banner, and each other, to provide a modern, long-term solution to the student registration experience.  The integration of PATH within the Schedule of Classes (SoC) will allow OSU to enhance the student experience for course search and registration processes with specific emphasis on:

  • Modern and mobile technology
  • Integrated suite of tools
  • Personalized search features

Background to the Project

PATH is phase two of the SoC implementation.  Phase one was completed last year with the introduction of the SoC system alongside the Academic Catalog.

The PATH update will allow students to manipulate the SoC to deliver a personalized experience that draws from student profile information and academic history, adding increased functionality to filter and identify courses based on individual academic progression.

Objectives

  • Enhance student registration experience by providing a SoC tool that is adaptive and personalized based on student profile information
  • Integration with student profile information to enhance student awareness of courses
  • A functional registration cart that provides course schedule options
  • Increase advising effectiveness through registration and student profile integration

Project Scope

  • Enhance personalization of SoC based on student profile while maintaining the quality of anonymous search capabilities
  • Present course options based on student profile and degree requirements in MyDegrees
  • Functional registration cart integrated with Banner Self-Service (MyOSU) 
  • Enhance and expand search filters

Scope Exclusions and Limits

  • Will not provide for registration directly through the SoC
  • Will not provide detailed advising for student
  • Limited by complexities of student profile data in Banner and availability of degree plan in MyDegrees

Trainings

  • Campus-wide training primarily for the advising community will be scheduled prior to release
  • Training documentation will be made available online and distributed to students
