The student dashboard acts as a “front door” for students, providing them with easy access to valuable features “in one place”. The content presented is specific to the student. The dashboard has been designed to provide a consistent modern look and feel that is both responsive (mobile friendly) and accessible to those with disabilities.
Academics
Course Schedule
The course schedule feature provides students with a mobile friendly view of their course schedule in either a calendar or card view. Special attention is given to asynchronous courses with no set time. Clicking on a course opens a summary of the course details with links to external systems. Students can also link this content into the calendar of their choice.
My Grades
The My Grades feature is located on the student dashboard under the “Academics” tab. This feature is a more accessible summary of the grades that are currently available in SIS > My Grades. Students with more than one instance will have the option to toggle between each and to select the subsequent term. “My GPA” is the equivalent of the latest cumulative GPA in SIS>My Grades.

- Immediate Access: If you’re on a waitlist for any class, you will now see those courses highlighted on your dashboard, ensuring you won’t overlook crucial registration opportunities.
- Easy Registration: A user-friendly “Register Now” button is now available, making it simpler than ever to take action on your waitlisted classes using the same registration logic you’re familiar with across SIS.
- Mobile-Friendly: This feature has been optimized for display on mobile devices, so you can stay updated even when you’re on the go!
- Course Details at Your Fingertips: By clicking on the course title, you will be able to access all relevant details, offering you the insights you need to make informed decisions.
Reminder: While this feature enhances the student experience directly from the dashboard, students can still access “My Pending Enrollment Requests” for any additional actions they wish to take regarding waitlisted courses.
Research Opportunities
The dashboard now connects to ForagerOne, a platform enabling students to learn about research opportunities and engage with faculty members on their projects, with the support of HOUR. The feature encourages students to create a profile in ForagerOne.
