Enhancements to My SJSU (Campus Solutions)

We are implementing enhancements to the MySJSU students interface, rolling out an enhanced user experience which will significantly improve the look and feel of the MySJSU webpages for both mobile and desktop experiences. These changes are being implemented thanks to the feedback we have received from our campus community regarding the accessibility and functionality of MySJSU, particularly on mobile devices.

The changes to the enhanced use experience include:

2. Clear access to Messages, Holds, To-Dos, and Other Indicators: There are 4 buttons at the top of the student center which provide navigation to any Messages, Holds, To-Dos and Other Indicators. The messages, holds and to-dos are also accessible to the students from any page in MySJSU using the top links in the left hand navigation menu.
3. Left Menu with direct links to most requested student functionality: Students will have easy access to most used functionality from any page in MySJSU. The functionality on the left hand shortcut menu is grouped in folders for:
   • Academic Enrollment: Enrollment related functionality - (Class Search, Enrollment Dates, MyScheduler, Enrollment Shopping Cart, Add Classes, Drop Classes, Edit a Class, Swap Classes, My Class Schedule, Browse Course Catalog)

4. Center Sections layered for Student Lifecycle: The center informational well of the student center is organized into sections that present the Student LifeCycle details:
