Chico State is launching a new user experience, course scheduling and degree planning suite of tools for its students and staff.

Through a partnership with HighPoint Technology Solutions, more than 17,000 students at Chico State will have access to HighPoint Campus Experience, HighPoint Schedule Builder and HighPoint Degree Planner. These real-time tools will allow students to search, register and plan for courses in a human-centric way that is comparable to consumer-facing applications.

Andy Miller, Associate CIO at Chico State, says, “We were quickly approaching the end-of-life for our first-generation mobile application and our homegrown public-facing campus class schedule. Likewise, the user experience of the PeopleSoft Student Center wasn’t providing the modern interface/user experience that our students have come to expect in other applications. The HighPoint Campus Experience application provided a single solution to all three problems. We also invested in HighPoint Schedule Builder and HighPoint Degree Planner for additional features and integration. We anticipate that implementing these tools will greatly enhance the user experience and contribute toward student success.”
