The Information Technology Department of the South Orange County Community College District is committed to providing the very best eServices to the students, faculty and staff within our district. The following applications comprise the MySite eServices suite:

 
MySite

MySite is the award-winning web portal that provides a wide range of information and services to students, faculty and staff. Students use it to add/drop classes, view class listings, order books, email instructors, review appointments, read college announcements, access college email, view their grades/transcripts, and more! Faculty use MySite for many of the same services as students, but they can also download rosters, email their classes and submit their grades.
 
LIS

The Leadership Information System provides instructional management with a wide range of information that allows them to make informed decisions regarding the class offerings. LIS is only available to authorized staff via MySite.
 
SmartSchedule

The online class schedules are accessible from the college home pages and provide students an intuitive way to make intelligent decisions regarding class selection. It has an integrated search engine, instructor email links, updated enrollment and class status data, detailed curriculum information and even links to maps with specific directions to the class location. A shopping cart was added in Fall 2004 that allows students to maintain a list of desired classes. When their appointment time arrives, they can enroll in all of the classes in their cart with one click of a button. The current status of the classes in the cart can be tracked through a daily email report, or a personalized RSS feed. You can read more about the shopping cart here.

There is also an "Important Dates" page listing key dates and deadlines for each semester with a handy reminder feature. Students can set a reminder for any of the dates listed, and they will receive an email on the date specified.
 
MySite Agent
Available since
October 2003
MySite Agent is a new and innovative approach to providing information to students. It responds to questions phrased in normal conversational language through a number of different devices and technologies. MySite Agent can respond to queries through the web, Instant Messaging (IM), and WAP/xHTML Mobile devices (such as cell phones). The IM capability opens this service to a wide range of devices since IM software is freely available for all computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and most new cell phones.
