Student Systems Upgrade Project
The Student Systems Upgrade Project is a key strategic initiative to upgrade and consolidate the University’s two student administration systems:
- Mercury: contains the course / student data for short courses, professional certificate programs (non award) and joint offerings with partner institutions including Open Universities Australia (OUA), South Australian Institute of Business and Technology (SAIBT) and the Centre for English Language in the University of South Australia (CELUSA).
- Medici version 7.6: contains the course, program and student data for UniSA award and non-award students.
These two systems will be consolidated into a single student administration system operating on Medici version 9.0.
The project is necessary in order to ensure the sustainability of the student administration systems, after support for the existing version of the software is withdrawn by Oracle in August 2008. It is also an opportunity to merge all student records into one student administration system, ensuring reduced maintenance costs, sustainable management and better position the University to undertake future upgrades of our student administration system.
