Upgrades to PeopleSoft enhance user experience聽

51社区 is implementing several yearly upgrades to PeopleSoft, its primary student information system, which will be live for all users starting July 21, 2024.

PeopleSoft supports critical functions across the University, including admissions, financial aid, student financials, student records and transfer credit. These upgrades primarily focus on backend enhancements to improve functionality while also introducing updates to the user interface. Users should use these before using the upgraded system.

Landing page update

Users logging into PeopleSoft from July 21 onward may notice a redesigned landing page that differs from the current version.

Current Version:

To access the older version of the landing page after the upgrade, use the page tabs on the main screen to find and select the 鈥淐lassic Home鈥 tile.

Note: If a user holds a student and administrator account in PeopleSoft, you can toggle between a student and administrator view.

New student experience:

Students may also see an update to their experience when logging into their MyOHIO Student Center. Instead of directly logging in to the Student Center home page, they will be directed to a new landing page, and they will need to select the 鈥淢yOHIO Student Center鈥 tile to access their Student Center.

Enhanced search functionality

There have been several enhancements and changes added to the search functionality within PeopleSoft:

  1. Add New Value: The "Add a New Value" function, previously a tab, is now a selectable button. 
  2. Recent Searches: Users can now easily repeat searches using previously entered values.
  3. Saved Searches: Capability to save frequently used search criteria for quick access. 
  4. Search Results: The default number of search results per page has been adjusted from 100 to 10 in the updated version and is formatted differently from the current version.
