One-Stop Advising System (OSAS) Training

Last year, we announced the transition from Civitas to the One-Stop Advising System (OSAS) —  an in-house program on the PeopleSoft platform. Since April 2024, more than 100 enhancements have been made based on feedback from faculty and staff, including improved interface navigation, enhanced reporting features, and better integration with other university systems.

To streamline the advising process, NJCU plans to discontinue the Civitas predictive analytics and Inspire modules when the contract ends in April 2025. We are currently negotiating to retain the scheduler module.

The University Advisement Center and IT staff will conduct training sessions for faculty and staff for the new OSAS advising system beginning on February 20, 2025, and continue thereafter. Demonstrations will be held in person in the Congressman Frank J. Guarini Library second floor computer lab on the following dates and times:

If you are unable to attend one of the session above, additional dates will be announced in the near future. Sessions will focus on training and gathering feedback for improvements.

Please RSVP for one of the sessions by clicking on the registration button in this email.

The Division of Academic Affairs will continue to provide updates on any changes through email and campus announcements.

For questions, please contact Dr. Jonelle Knox at jknox1@njcu.edu or the Office of the Provost at provost@njcu.edu.
