What is Expected of Each College

Personnel who will need to be involved:

Dedicated Professional Development Lead (24-30 hours) – Learn the Cornerstone platform, set it up and communicate with faculty/staff, leading the change management process on campus. This person will also be the one to maintain and continue building Cornerstone at the college after implementation.
Human Resources Lead – Involved mainly at the beginning to help establish user access through single sign-on (SSO) and establish user information and data through the campus Human Resources Information System (HRIS) system. The time commitment varies depending on the state of the data at the start of the project.
Information Technology Lead (26-38 hours)
- Inbound Data Feed Project (20-30 hours): Primarily will need to have HRIS data pulled and added to the template the Implementation Team provides.
- Single Sign-On (6-8 hours): Set up IDP (Identity Provider) to configure SSO integration
District Lead (if applicable) - Multi-college districts will need to integrate together because of the centralized data. In those situations, the colleges and district must initiate integration together.

Participation in the pre-integration 2-day admin training.
Participation in weekly calls and implementation work with integration team.
Responsiveness throughout integration process to ensure timely completion.

Ready to get started?

Complete and submit the Readiness Survey as soon as you can. Based on the survey responses, the integration team will determine if your college/district is ready to be placed in a cohort, or if there are any prep items that need to be addressed first. No matter which cohort you are placed in, we can begin the technical project work as soon as we receive the Readiness Survey, so please submit that as soon as possible!

Note for multi-college districts: Each college in your district should submit a Readiness Survey, and the district should submit a Readiness Survey as well. We must receive all surveys before we can proceed with a kick off meeting for your district.

Once your college/district is ready to be placed in a cohort you will then submit an MOU to officially enter into the process.
