John Hanna, application manager, University Information Systems, gave a live demonstration of the app to UCCS faculty, staff and students.<\/p>\n

According to Hanna, UCCS2GO will address the needs of the campus and give students what they want.<\/p>\n

“Students want mobile capability,\u201d Hanna said. \u201c[They] will be one tap away from accessing their student data.”<\/p>\n

UCCS2GO allows students to search for and enroll in classes, monitor\u00a0their finances and view their current schedule.<\/p>\n

According to Hanna, all information being accessed is considered sensitive data and will be protected by requiring students to login to access their information.<\/p>\n

“[It] happens every single time a student goes to access the app and is a secure mechanism for delivering this content,\u201d Hanna said.<\/p>\n

The app was developed by Oracle Corporation, in conjunction with University Information Systems, UCCS Information Technology and the Office of the Registrar.<\/p>\n
