Agenda
Postgraduate Automated Admissions Processing
Track: Student Information System (SIS)
Session Number: 9580
Date: Wed, Mar 1st, 2023
Time: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Description:
Rules Engine and Evaluation Management setup pages have been used at the institution to setup and configure rules for Postgraduate Admissions, based on School criteria, to accept, reject or waitlist students. Rules are configured in Rules Engine through the front end to satisfy the requirements of schools. PSQuery is used to then select the cohort of students to apply these rules to the applicants and the process evaluates each student. The decisions can be mapped to the Program Action in the Student Admissions stack and saved back as well. This functionality avoids the need for programming development in App Designer but does require some logical skill to setup.

Tell us about you!: I graduated with a 4yr Science degree majoring in Computer Science at Wits University in South Africa. I started working as an Application Developer at Wits and have been in the industry for 27 years. The Student, Finance and HR systems were all Natural Adabas but to keep up with changing technology, moved over to Oracle after 2000. We initially implemented Oracle Student System but then changed to PeopleSoft Campus Solutions in 2011. I have been a developer on PeopleSoft Student system for the last 10+ years. While we try to use as much of the delivered functionality as possible, our institution prefers automation of processes to assist faculty staff. To this end we have had many projects to develop automated process in various modules like Admissions, Records and Residence. Our Student system also interfaces with various other 3rd party systems which we also support.
