What's New?

Paper is so last century! Yet the path to college is still littered with it. This spring, however, GC is taking a major step towards eliminating a lot of the paper work for incoming freshmen.  What started as an online document tracking system developed into a full-fledged migration of paper forms to the web.  Using Caravel's powerful form builder and e-commerce tools, ITS's Theo Budiardja was able to convert most of GC's forms for new students into electronic form in record time. The wins are obvious--less paper, less postage, less hassle for students and staff.  Students can take care of most of their required steps in a single setting. Staff can see at a glance who still needs to finish what.  We hope it makes coming to GC an even easier choice.

This fall Goshen College began offering web services to its alumni.  The initial services are a secure online alumni directory, the ability to update your personal/family information, and NewsNotes from other alumni.  The new services are available on the alumni website (http://www.goshen.edu/alumni/).  To use the services, alumni will need to sign up for an alumni account.  To get a password, you'll need to provide two of the following three items:

• Your birthdate
• Your GC student ID number
• The last four numbers of your Social Security Number (SSN)
