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.
The R3 Project has welcomed an amazing group of Algonquin College employees making up the Change Champion Network!
The Change Champion Network (CCN) is a group of employees who are early adopters and support their department or faculty through the R3 transformation project. This network is an opportunity to engage and support Algonquin College employees. They were officially introduced at the R3 Project Year in Review event on Dec. 7.
The R3 Project is establishing a group of Change Champions to support General Users in their understanding and adoption of Thesis SM, our new Student Information System. General Users are those who primarily use the student information system to look up information and may, on occasion, perform specific tasks.
The R3 Project has launched ‘New Term Tuesday,’ a campaign to share important new terms related to the introduction of the Student Information System (SIS) with the College community. Each Tuesday, we will post a new term on myAC and the project SharePoint site to gradually increase the College community’s knowledge of the new terms that we will use within our new SIS, Thesis Student Management (Thesis SM).
Almost 350 members of the College community gathered virtually on Monday, Feb. 8, 2021, to officially launch the SIS Project. The event followed the November 2020 announcement of Unit4 as the College’s new Student Information System and implementation partner.
Those gathered were also the first to learn the project has been rebranded, as R3, which stands for “rethink, redesign, reimagine.”
President Claude Brulé expanded on its meaning in his keynote address.
