What the Data team hopes to accomplish with the R3 Project
Posted on Thursday, February 2nd, 2023
The R3 Project Data team is responsible for moving the information housed in GeneSIS over to the new Student Information System (SIS), Thesis Student Management (Thesis SM).
Throughout this process, the Data team will ensure the information that’s migrated over to the new SIS is accurate, reliable and secure. These efforts will also enhance the student and employee experience when it comes to accessing customized information and running reports and analytics.
Of course, this is all easier said than done. We’re going to be breaking down what the Data team does on a regular basis in order to accomplish their tasks.

How do I share my insight? Common questions about the getting involved with the R3 Project
Posted on Thursday, January 26th, 2023
The R3 Project is a business transformation initiative that will retire the current Student Information System (GeneSIS) and the related portal (ACSIS). These will be replaced by a new Student Information System (SIS) as well as an updated learner portal respectively.
The other main purpose of the Project is to rethink and redesign Algonquin College’s Business Processes. We’ve also pulled in our College’s own Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to provide feedback and guidance throughout this review.
As we implement a new SIS, we now have the opportunity to rethink how we work, redesign our processes, and reimagine how we serve and interact with our learners.
Today, we’ve compiled five commonly asked questions about the R3 Project that we hope will bring you clarity on how you can get involved: Read more >

An introduction to some Thesis SM language
Posted on Thursday, January 12th, 2023
One of the things that the R3 Project is doing is introducing a new Student Information System (SIS), Thesis Student Management (Thesis SM).
With the introduction of a new, cloud-based system comes new terms that were adopted by Thesis SM. As we begin transitioning from our current SIS, GeneSIS, to Thesis SM, we’ve had to look at the terms that we currently use and compare them to the ones Thesis SM has given us.
During this process, we’re continuously thinking about the Algonquin College community to ensure that the new Thesis language aligns with our goals and five main objectives.
With that, we will focus on three new terms that we’re going to be using with Thesis SM: Division, Academic Program and Program Curriculum.

To configure the Thesis SM software means adding to or changing current details within the SIS software to tailor it to Algonquin College needs.
Sounds complicated, right?! Let’s break it down using an analogy.
