alright fools, listen up: something is HAPPENING on june 22nd. something BIG. something BESIDES you skipping work “because it’s a monday and what is even the point of it all?”
our beloved ROSI is being phased out and replaced by a newer, better system! *blows party blower*
how does it feel, huh, ROSI? to be the old, abandoned gal? how does it feel that you’re leaving and half of us still don’t know how to pronounce your name properly? how does it feel knowing that your limited capabilities won’t be missed?
sorry, ROSI. i didn’t mean to make you cry. tuck your head into my lapel. there, there.
so who’s ROSI going to be replaced by? well, it’s the new, the shiny, the everyone-is-going-crazy-about-her ACORN! ACORN is more functional (and easier to pronounce). she’s the hottest babe?in town.
you’ll be able to login to ACORN on june 22nd – and we urge you to take her for a spin – but it’ll still be a little while since ROSI is phased out completely, so not to worry. you’ll still have time to say your goodbyes.
and try not to be too torn up about it – at its core, the system will remain the same SWS (student web service) that it was before. ACORN will be like the new casing for the same old stuff. in other words, it’ll still?do all the same things – show you your fees, let you enrol in courses, etc. – but it’ll just let you do it better.
if you’d like to know MORE about ACORN, you can take a look here, and keep an eye on FAStanswers for more information.
