From Our Partners in OIIT – Changes to Faculty Self-Service, Grading and Student Information

OIIT wanted to make you aware of changes that have recently impacted accessing the Faculty Self-Service pages for Grading, Student Information among other links through an old look and feel. As of April 24th that old interface has been disabled. Since 2019 Faculty Self-Service was upgraded to a new look and feel, with the old version left in place for those who preferred it. However, the vendor is not supporting the old version causing it to not be available. Training materials are available here to help with this transition.
