The most important goal of this project has been to improve service to students at the University. At the same time, this has fostered communication between the administrative offices and the schools. The success of the implementation can be attributed to strong representation from the four central offices and their willingness to give 100 percent to adapt the system to Emory's needs. One of PSAS's identifying features is that it is an integrated system. This means that the information flows freely from area to area within the system.
Administrators have immediate access to changes in real time.
Below are some specific examples of what an integrated system offers. The Web interface enables students to register through their personal accounts directly over the Internet. This eliminates the need for bubble sheets. Even students studying abroad could complete registration, as long as they had access to the Web and an Internet browser. On or off campus, this new system gives students more access to their Emory academic and financial history.
