Everything is changing…time to get on board!
IT Systems is working on and releasing important updates designed to benefit you and other members of the Lee community. Be in the know about what’s going on!
University website upgrades
Completed website projects:
-
User-friendly Search bar – Our search bar is now powered by Google, eliminating frustrating jargon you might have encountered in previous searches.
-
Upgraded RSS feeds – You don’t have to visit the website to get news updates! Access Lee news and Lee Athletics updates on any device with an RSS reader.
Projects currently in the works:
-
Correct design, correct device – Each device (smartphone, tablet, desktop computer, etc.) through which you access the website will have its own user-friendly content layout designed to make viewing easier.
-
iCal feeds – The University Calendar will be available on your smartphone and through the mobile app. You will be able to add university events from the calendar to your personal calendar, which will be updated if times, dates, etc. change.
What else is on the horizon for the website?
-
An enhanced calendar with more detail and actual calendar views (daily view, weekly view, and a monthly view).
-
Links to a new online directory with enabled searching.
-
A new drop down menu
Other important updates
-
Mobile apps – The New Student Orientation mobile app released orientation weekend was a huge success; now try the Lee mobile app and the GO Flames mobile app for Lee athletics. Download both for free at http://mobile.leeuniversity.edu.
- Switch from PowerFAIDS to Colleague – Financial aid transmittals are now done in Colleague rather than PowerFAIDS, allowing us to take advantage of Colleague services such as a new Student Finance view and 1098-T’s. It will also prepare us for an upgraded web experience coming soon to Portico and Webadvisor that will give them a new look and feel. The management pieces of Financial Aid will still be handled in PowerFAIDS.
- Student recruitment – Lee will offer an online admissions application through Target X, a new recruitment software. Target X will also import data from ACT, SAT, and MAT and match it with the appropriate online applications, reducing data entry error and eliminating unnecessary duplicate info.
-
Student retention – Be on the lookout for new initiatives to keep Lee students here all the way through graduation.
