Whenever someone brings up the R3 Project, you’ve probably heard the term, Business Process, mentioned many times. But what is a Business Process, exactly? How does it work? How does it play a role in the R3 Project? And… what does it mean for you, personally?
These are all great questions, and so we’re going to start from the beginning with the goal to make you know exactly what we’re talking about when we say we’re redesigning Business Processes in the R3 Project.
If you hear the words, R3 Project, you may think about how it means we’re bringing in a new Student Information System. Well… you’re not wrong. But it’s also not entirely the full story.
The R3 Project is an ambitious undertaking, so it needs a firm set of objectives to guide the College throughout the Project’s duration. By establishing these objectives, we will stay connected to the “Why” behind the Project.
Want to learn about the basics of the R3 Project? Then let’s talk July Showcase Topics.
Our July 19 Showcase Event will be an opportunity for employees to get an R3 Project refresher, which will also act as a great introductory lesson for new staff members. During the Showcase, we will provide an overview of the R3 Project – including its objectives and project phases – as well as host a guided tour of the new SIS, Thesis SM.
There are many elements tied to the R3 Project, and—we get it—it can be a lot of information to digest when learning about it. To try to best explain the College’s Transformation Project, we’re going to head to the car lot, and pull out a good, old-fashioned analogy.
So, jump in and buckle up. Let’s break (brake? Sorry, we couldn’t resist) this project down in an easy-to-understand way that will help tie all the elements together.
The May 17 R3 Showcase welcomed more than 200 participants to its virtual gathering, where participants learned about the timeline update, two key Implementation Committee decisions, and the steps involved in Business Processes.
The April 5 R3 Showcase welcomed more than 200 participants to its virtual gathering, where participants learned about the project updates, saw a demo of the new Student Information System, and had the opportunity to ask questions.
The website refresh came after the R3 Project Communications, Change Management and Training (CCMT) team consulted with stakeholders, including representatives from across 25 departments and faculties.

In an effort to provide a one-stop-shop for all things related to the R3 Project, the R3 Project team is excited to launch its refreshed website – and it all came together thanks to two AC co-op students.
Behind the website’s design and development are Algonquin College co-op students, Adrián Gracia and Mozhdeh Mehrafarin.
With a promise to get a first view of Algonquin College’s new Student Information System, nearly 300 Algonquin College staff attended the R3 Showcase Event on Feb. 2, 2022.
R3 Project Sponsor and Vice-President of Student Services, Laura Stanbra, hosted the Showcase Event virtually, where she introduced a range of speakers.
