Howdy users now able to subscribe to tabs

University purchases Enrollment Management software

The University has purchased the SunGard Higher Education (HE) Enrollment Management software, which will assist the university in its recruitment efforts.  This product is integrated with the Compass system and will be implemented over the next year.  More information on the enrollment management product is available on the SunGard HE website.

Online pilot program for Introductory Compass Navigation available

In an effort to streamline the Compass training process, EIS is currently offering a partial online version of the Introductory Compass Navigation class.  The advantage of this class is that after taking the online portion of the class, classroom training is reduced from three hours to one. 

After the online training is completed, you will need to register for the one-hour classroom training at the Division of Finance employee training site in order to complete the process.  The next pilot class is scheduled for December 7 from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m.  The results of pilot program will determine if the online version is offered in the future.

Additional faculty-focused Howdy Demonstrations scheduled

Demonstrations of the Howdy portal geared toward the faculty utilizing the Class Roster including grading will be held on Friday, November 20 at 10:30 – 11:30 a.m., and Thursday, December 10 at 9 – 10 a.m.  Both sessions will be held in Assembly Room A of the General Services Complex, located at 750 Agronomy Road. The demonstration is free; however, registration is required.  No administrative fee will be assessed for cancelation.  Visit the Employee & Organizational Development web site for online registration and additional information at https://training.tamu.edu/schedule.php#HWDDEMO.  Or, call 979.845.8430 or send an email to talk-training@tamu.edu.
