We’re currently investigating the quality of the data we get from our current systems.
Sits in particular could potentially hold a great deal of useful data on the students current channels of contact; like university email, personal email and mobile telephone number. This could speed up the registration process and remove any “I’ve already given them this once” feelings the students might have.
Also, hopefully, we’ll be able to extract which modules the student is currently on and send them the correct time table changes / module updates from sits.
We’re also currently meeting with other university staff members with knowledge on our room allocation system – Celcat. Less is known within the team about Celcat at this stage.
Regarding your meeting with Celcat, do let us know how it goes/went… It’s just this meeting of different parts of ‘the institution’ that we’re interested in for IRET. How do they view your project? Can you integrate with their stystems etc.

We managed to get all the data we needed from Celcat, including the rooms, times, and staff attending each event. So We’ve managed to get a complete view of student time tables and the changes that take place. John
