Online Part-Time Student
Tracking & Payment
In coordination with the Secretory General
division and Student Services, the UITS has
developed in-house an online Part-Time
Student Timesheet and Payment System that
automates the process of submitting,
reviewing, tracking, approving student
timesheet and automating student payment
process. The system provides a method to
access all related information about the
student timesheet including the status and
encumbrance, invoice and JV information.
The new online system is fully integrated with
the University’s enterprise systems.
Starting from spring 2012, University General Requirements Unit (UGRU) will be
integrated with Student Information System in Banner. UITS in collaboration with
Admission and Registration, and UGRU Departments have undertaken several
initiatives to improve and streamline how UGRU data is handled. This included
the following:
UGRU registration and schedule: UGRU students participated in the spring
2012 registration along with the rest of UAEU students. Similarly, their
schedule was also created and handled the same way as the rest of the
schedules.
Absence reporting and managing excuses
Inserting challenge and placement exam results
Simplifying transcripts with respect to meeting requirement for foundation
courses.
Friendly and easy to use screen to manage changes to the foundation
courses and cohorts
According to guidelines from Ministry
Of Finance (MOFI) it was required
that all governmental institutions to
share present the i r f inanc i a l
information in an automated way to
ease the integration and centralization
of this information. UITS successfully
built a secured web service that made
it possible to present financial data to
MOFI application in a secure way and
according to MOFI standards and
requirements.
