The PeopleSoft Campus Portal turns an institution's Web site into a virtual campus delivering targeted content to all campus constituencies including students, staff, faculty, alumni, suppliers, employees, visitors, and prospects. Users have access to information specifically targeted toward their individual interests and needs such as admissions information, financial aid data, fundraising management, library services and distributed learning courses. All of this information can be seamlessly integrated into and delivered through the PeopleSoft Campus Portal, enhancing collaboration and providing timely access to information.

WLA

Web-based Learning Assistant

Once you are logged into EASIS+ V5 and have accessed a page you can select the Help link on the upper right corner of the page.  The Help link will take you to the delivered PeopleBooks and/or Maricopa’s Web-based Learning Assistant.  The WLA provides field by field descriptions of the page, as well as Maricopa-specific information (note: some of the WLA is still in draft form, in which case you will see PeopleSoft screen shots/field descriptions in the materials.)
