With the need to process applications and programs more efficiently and effectively for students, this session will begin with highlighting the integrated in-house systems created at York University that manage their awards selection, SAG, BRS recording and Work/Study program online. The systems that will be discussed are:

• Work/Study Employment Module (WSE) - online hiring system for the York community that shows the eligibility of a student, if they have been hired, a downloadable summary of approved positions, and a call for hours submission section for the end of year transfer.
• Awards Management System (AWM) - online management system for our endowed, annual, and operational awards, scholarships and bursaries. Also manages and codes awards for BRS recording.
• Student Financial Profile (SFP) - a multipurpose online application for awards, bursaries, scholarships and campus employment. This one application is a student's direct portal into everything financial at York University.

The session will then turn into a round-table discussion on what other institutions are doing to manage their workload. We will discuss the pros and cons of external products and in-house systems.
