Technology Update: Scheduling events in EMS

Events Management System (EMS) is currently used for scheduling events throughout UVI. The class schedule, once finalized, is sent from Banner to EMS after which time events are entered in the system. All classes and events are then available for view through Virtual EMS http://schedule.uvi.edu.

By March 1,2011 , virtual EMS will be used for scheduling events as well. Instead of calling or emailing someone, persons can request rooms online. UVI scheduling staff will review the requests and inform the requestor if his/her request is approved.

Plus, EMS will be available through the portal. Once a user logs in there, the application will be one click away without the need to enter user credentials via EMS direct link.

If you have any questions please contact the helpdesk at helpdesk@uvi.edu with your inquires!
