The most important process added to the web was allowing all students to register via the web. The visual registration process is considered a great improvement over the existing voice response system. It allows students to search for open classes by time or subject, and is a much easier process to find open courses or those with short waitlists. Other enhancements allow students to select or waive their health insurance for the year. This is proving to be a great help to students and staff, allowing first bills to be more accurate.
Students can check the status of their aid application and see what information is missing.
Account balance pages were improved, giving students more detail about their balance and real time balances, rather than waiting for overnight processing of transactions. PLUS graphics were changed to allow the university to provide students with information and reminders that are important at a certain time of the year. For example, at the beginning of the semester students are encouraged to check their waitlist status daily and later in the semester, they are reminded of the new Fall Break. Web registration now includes book lists for each class that a student registers for, and a link to the CU Bookstore, allowing student to actually purchase books for their classes. A schedule planner helps students think about their courses for the next semester, and helps them make better choices once they have a registration time assignment.
