PeopleTools 8.55 and PeopleSoft Campus Solutions 9.2 upgrade

The University has started to plan for the upgrades to both PeopleTools 8.55 in April 2017, and PeopleSoft Campus Solutions (PS CS) 9.2 in 2018.

PeopleTools 8.55 is a prerequisite of PS CS 9.2, and will provide facelifts to the user interface, such as a more contemporary look to different menus and functions. Released in December 2015, PS CS 9.2 delivers new visual guides to help casual users better navigate the system and execute activities more easily. ASR has begun the initial stages of planning for this project. Carrie Otto has agreed to lead the PS CS 9.2 upgrade project.

A rough timeline has been developed by the Administrative Computing Steering Committee (ACSC) and the Operation Advisory Steering Committee (OASC). Visit The Record blog to see the timeline »
