Student Information Service (SIS) Portal Training Events
Our events will cover the full scope of our Student Information Service (SIS), whilst also exploring the links between SIS and the other Portal Services. We will highlight best practice, when and how to take specific actions in SIS, and explore scenarios that ensure you are compliant with Service Standards. We will also demonstrate how SIS data is used to prompt student applications, manage course changes and to measure right first-time accuracy.
The events are scheduled to take place in November 2024 and are aimed at newly recruited staff at Higher Education Providers (HEPs) or within a now role, along with existing staff who require refresher training.
The training has been designed to include a mixture of presentations and interactive exercises. Each session will provide a focus on compliance and monitoring along with highlighting impacts on other SLC systems such as Courses Management Service (CMS). There will be an opportunity for Q&A throughout the session and we will end with an “HE Account Manager Surgery” for individual queries.
