The Housing Director FAQ

What database does The Housing Director use?
Oracle 9i, 10g, and 11g, and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and 2008

Do you offer a student web interace for online room selection?
We offer 3 web interfaces for housing. The MyHousing Student Web Suite is comprised of:

• ApplyOnline - An online system to allow your new and returning students to apply for housing online.
• MyHousing for Students - The main web application of the suite, includes the room selection/re-selection process, plus student editing of their own personal and living preferences, maintenance request entry, dining plan selection, and more!
• DeskStaff - The DeskStaff web application is for your desk staff workers to check students in and out.

The web interfaces are written in ColdFusion (CFML), and will run under Microsoft IIS or Apache web servers.

What Campus Information Systems are Supported?

• SunGard Banner UDC
  
• SunGard PowerCAMPUS UDC
  
• Oracle PeopleSoft
  
• Datatel Colleague
  
• SAP
  
• Jenzabar
  
• Most home-grown systems
  

What if our school already uses (or will soon implement) SunGard Banner, Oracle PeopleSoft or another enterprise system?

Our Data Interface Module can automatically transfer data back and forth between our housing/judicial/health packages and virtually any campus-wide student database system. We initially developed the interface with Gettysburg College, and it now can interface directly with any ODBC-compliant database, or with an extra step to interface with a mainframe system. There is no reason to be stuck with an inadequate housing module just because other departments are using that system.

Now we also have a true real-time interface for exporting billing transactions, student data, and dining data. And you can import a student on-demand from within The Housing Director.
