University of Nottingham > Blogs > Project Transform > UK Admissions > The Fundamentals training course – Louisa Buonocore August 29, 2017, by Jessica Watson


I received a basic introduction to MyNottingham (the name of the Campus Solutions portal) in my previous role, over a year ago, in the School of Pharmacy.

We had been asked at the time to take some Moodle-based training relating to logging and answering enquiries. I was then left to deal with enquiries using the new system in my School-based role.

I received only an impersonal, automated introduction to the system. This disclosed very little about how the system would work when it rolled out beyond being used just for enquiries.

The training now

Training in a post-restructure, admissions-related setting has been so far considerably different. We have had a chance to create our own sample applications. We will be able to follow these through the full application and decision making process during our training. Alongside this, we have recently received a detailed session covering the main tools used in the new system.

What we’ll be able to do on the system

In this training session, we were given a clear overview of what to expect of the new system. This included what we will have available and how we will be able to take advantage of the new resources.

Overall, the new system looks like it is going to save a lot of time for both staff and students. I am looking forward to seeing in further detail how MyNottingham will work, specifically for me in my role.
