Callista is a functionally and graphically rich student management system designed to meet the needs of tertiary institutions operating in the global education environment. The system has been developed from the most sophisticated and detailed set of functional requirements ever compiled.

Flexible & Adaptable

Callista is a powerful enterprise wide application for Further and Higher Education that allows institutions to respond quickly and easily to change. This is achieved by allowing each institution complete control over the definition of courses and units of study, assessment requirements and fee structures and over the periods of time that students study. Coupled with the use of extensive institution-defined terminology and operating rules, Callista is a system that incorporates best practice principles and supports the delivery of excellent customer service.

Comprehensive Functionality

Callista has been developed in conjunction with education professionals to satisfy the present and future information needs of today's Further and Higher educational institutions. Callista functionality incorporates course structure and planning, admissions, enrolments and research studies, advanced standing and academic assessments, course progression and graduation, student finance and government reporting, international student functionality, student self service, time tabling integration and finance system integration, a suite of standard reports and correspondence items together with a meta-data layer to support end user reporting.

Devolution of Responsibility & Self Service

Callista is designed to allow institutions to devolve a significant number of tasks to academic and administrative staff in faculties and divisions, while at the same time guaranteeing control and process integrity. Callista Connect is a powerful Internet tool designed to enable institutions to offer students and members of the wider community a flexible 'portal' into the institution via the Internet while maintaining management of key elements of the interface.

The Callista Student Management System will provide your institution with all the powerful tools that you need to manage students in today's competitive education environment.

Connect

Callista Connect is a web based portal for Student Self-Service. Callista Connect student applications allow each student remote access to their own information in real-time. Through Connect, the student is able to self-manage important aspects of their education, such as updating their own enrolment related details and viewing assessment results.

Prospective students will be able to lodge electronic requests for course information, as well as make admission applications. Callista Connect student users can also see other important information published by the institution, via institution defined links.

Amongst its functionality, Callista Connect allows students to:

• Enrol/re-enrol in courses and units
• Complete government statistics and HECS Payment Option forms on-line
• Inspect their fees, their outstanding balance, and query the finance system for receipts and transaction details
• Maintain their addresses and personal profile
• Maintain their exam location and request a change of exam location
• View their assessment, results and results history
• View their exam timetable

Connect is fully web-based and runs with all version 4 browsers (or better) with support for Javascript. The Connect portal is secure and runs in real-time against the Callista database. Institutions can customise Connect in a number of ways to best suit their requirements, including:

• Controlling access to Connect using access rules applied to all students
• Customising the look and feel of the portal to suit the institution
• Defining application level security for Connect User Applications
• Integrating with a number of security and authentication systems
