Important Fall Updates
Triton Student System:
The transition into the new Triton Student System (TSS) was officially announced on July 10, 2026 by official Campus Notice: Triton Student System (TSS) Access for Faculty and Staff - 07-10-2026
Since this is a new Student Information System (SIS), everything is being rebuilt and tested on a comprehensive project plan led by ITS and Academic Affairs. Please note that ITS has been working around the clock on a number of processes, reports, etc. to ensure we all are able to run our standard business and operating procedures.
We encourage you to review the TSS website for available resources and training materials for Faculty and Staff.
If you have any question regarding access, roles, and utilizing the system, you may visit the Getting Support for TSS tab on the TSS webpage.
