Guidelines

A Cheatsheet for Implementing Student Services Online

It is helpful to know the entire progression of implementing student services online (as contrasted to just online student services). This progression is shown below and is summarized as follows:

  1. Form a vision team and develop your campus’ vision for student services online.
  2. Determine initial student service focus and assemble a project design and development team.
  3. Create a glossary of terms for student services and define the scope, budget and timeline.
  4. Write scenarios and record ARIs (assumptions, requirements and issues).
  5. Identify affected policies and takes steps to address them.
  6. Buy, build, or partner in the development of a technology solution to support plans for new service(s).
  7. Test the new service with a pilot group of students.
  8. Form an implementation team and develop an implementation plan.
  9. Deploy your new service(s), gaining a yield of integrated IT systems, simple procedures, and online services.
  10. Keep your institution happy with well-served students, faculty, staff and others by upgrading the service(s) on an ongoing basis to maintain state-of-the-art services.
