MyKU

MyKU is excellent! The new software has made my life so much easier and I can't even remember what Online Student Services was like. The modernized look of MYKU has also enhanced my view about this type of software. I have had no problems using MyKU and I am often shocked when I hear that my fellow students do not know how to properly use it.

Kutztown University offered very important, non-mandatory, informative sessions that taught students how to use the software. I attended those sessions, unlike most of my peers, and found them to be very useful. While at those sessions, I noticed that I was one of the only students to attend. So, it does not surprise me that there are so many students at Kutztown who have no idea what their doing when trying to accomplish tasks on MyKU.

Online Student Services, the old program used at Kutztown, was dated and I'm glad to be rid of it. This whole thing reminds me of the constant changes to Facebook. Everyone bitches about the changes and how they don't know know to do things. But, everyone gets over it and eventually figures everything out.

However, the switch from Online Student Services to MyKU has one major difference. There were informative sessions advertised numerous times through email that most students chose to ignore. If you don't like the new system or don't understand it, the only person you can blame is yourself.

I'm so over all of the emails that give baby steps to those who, "had better things to do." I'm sure the people sending those emails are even more frustrated than I am. Each student only had to take 50 minutes out of their day to go to a session and learn about the new system that the university would be implementing.
