PowerCampus Self Service, OWU Mobile, and Cell Phone Discounts

Last week we launched our PowerCampus Self Service application for OWU users.  We are continuing to roll out new features for the campus community as modules are ready for production.  Currently, student class schedules and course catalog are available for students and faculty to review.  Soon, transcripts and other details will be available as well.

Separate but related to the launch, we have put a single-sign on process in place for all OWU account holders.  See your email for more details on how that functions.  Please see the Self Help pages on our website if you have questions or problems.  Some mac wireless users and windows domain users may need to make some configuration changes.

OWU Mobile is exteremly close to being available for the OWU community.  We are working on a couple of finishing touches before we announce availability.  We hope to send out more information prior to the end of the Spring semester.

Finally, as a reminder, we have put in place discounts for OWU account holders to some of the most common cell phone providers.  This can save users money on their personal cell phone bill - as much as $240 a year for those who qualify.  Please see our tcomm website for more information on these discounts.
