Electronic Course Scheduling (ECS) Training

This version of ECS is accessed directly through the PeopleSoft database and will allow course scheduling information to be available immediately for students, without an upload process.

All users are required to attend training for the new system. Click on the "Register for Classes" link on the left side of this page to see available sessions, under the "ECS in PS" class title.

To obtain access to the ECS system, please be aware of two items:

#1: All ECS users:
All users of the new ECS system will need to apply for access by completing the Access Request Form Requester's Demographic Information and the Electronic Course Scheduling (ECS) attachment. Forms are available at the Data Security link at the left on this page, under Resources. Duluth Campus: access request forms need to be sent to Judy Hinnenkamp, 139 DAdB, for processing.

#2:
For current PeopleSoft users:
If you currently have access to view and or update student records in the PeopleSoft system, it will only be necessary to enroll in an ECS training session and apply for access through OIT Data Security (see #1).

For lapsed PeopleSoft users:
If you had access to view and or update student records in PeopleSoft and have lost this access due to a job change or non-use, you will need to reapply for access through OIT Data Security (see #1) and attend an ECS training session.

For new PeopleSoft users:
For staff without access to PeopleSoft there is a prerequisite for the ECS training, which is SR 1480/Student Data Inquiry/SDI. The SDI class is an introduction to PeopleSoft navigation, terminology, course and student data. You must attend SDI PRIOR to attending the ECS class to receive access to ECS. You will also need to apply for access to ECS through OIT Data Security (see #1).
