List 3. Does Nexus replace Student Administration?
Nexus in no way replaces the Peoplesoft Student Administration system. The Peoplesoft Student Administration system is the official system for academic records, degree audit, enrollment, and other key functions. Nexus stores its own unique data that is not found in other systems. Nexus is intended to supplement the Student Administration system, not duplicate it in any way.
4. Is this application for both undergraduate and graduate programs?
Both undergraduate and graduate programs are using Nexus. Some of the system's data analytics apply exclusively to the undergraduate population, while other are inclusive of the graduate student population. The majority of Nexus tools are applicable to all departments, students, staff, and faculty.
5. Why can't I see what my colleague sees?
What you see is a function of your personal preferences, your data access, and your user network preferences. If you want to see what you do and do not have access to, go to Settings in the top navigation bar and look for the link on the page that says My Data Access. Click that link and you can view exactly what you access does and does not include.
