New Look Of Infinite Campus

The New Look’ of Infinite Campus is here!

Infinite Campus is replacing their existing UI and navigational structure. This new Infinite Campus experience is the same look and feel that is available in the Parent and Student portals.  It contains all of the same tools as the current Infinite Campus and includes several improvements. Although the ‘Classic Look' of Infinite Campus will be available for the 24/25 school year, all documentation on the Dashboard will be updated with screenshots and directions for the ‘New Look’. All training will be in the ‘New Look' of Infinite Campus only.

QUICK TIP: The easiest way to find a tool or report in the ‘New Look’ is to use the tool search. Once you find what you are looking for, make it a Favorite. Want more information? Click the section Finding/Favoriting Commonly Used Tools.

Why is Infinite Campus Making This Change?

Infinite Campus wants users to have a positive experience when using their product. When first logging in, it should be easy to find the tools and data you need to complete your job.  Infinite Campus believes these new changes will help to improve your experience and make your job easier. 

As a living software system, Infinite Campus doesn't update to a new version quite like other programs do. Most of you may not know this, but Infinite Campus releases new features and software changes every 4 weeks. The IC team here at Central Enrollment checks and tests all these new changes and then rolls them out to our District users.  The New Look is a much bigger change than a standard update as it touches all areas of the product and has been years in the making. They are making changes to their product to keep their student information system viable into the future.

Keep in mind Infinite Campus still functions the same.  However, the location of many of the tools that you commonly use are now in a different space. This change is for the ‘Look and Feel’, but IC works the same way.  Therefore, this is NOT ABOUT LEARNING A NEW STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM; it is just learning to navigate the ‘New Look’. Infinite Campus the product still functions the same.


What is the Current Timeline for the New Look of Infinite Campus?

Although the ‘Classic’ Look of Infinite Campus will be available for the 24/25 school year, all documentation and training will be in the 'New Look” of Infinite Campus only.

 We are actively pointing all users to the ‘New Look'. It would be beneficial for users to get started now, so they can become used to the change.

 Simplified Navigation Structure

Navigation is greatly simplified in the new look of Infinite Campus. Gone are the days of row after row of tabs, tools buried below multiple other tools in the Campus outline, and the frustration of not knowing where to look for a particular set of tools.

With the new Infinite Campus interface, all tools within a menu item (i.e., Instruction, Student Information, Behavior) are displayed on a single screen, organized by category. You can quickly and easily see all tools available and understand tool relationships based on their category.

The new Infinite Campus also remembers the last tool you selected, meaning navigating back to the last tool you were working in is as easy as hitting the back button on your browser. Infinite Campus will even retain the student you are currently working on.
