The implementation of our new Student Management System (SMS) is quickly approaching, and it is important for staff to be prepared for the system to go live on Wednesday 6 October.

The road to Go-Live

The new SMS is a significant business transformation project for the University, and you must be aware of the changes, what is being packed away, what’s new, and how it will impact your work. Hopefully, by now, you have completed your mandatory training and are prepared for the system to go live on Wednesday 6 October.
