Unlike a destination Web site, the Campus Pipeline platform is an official campus intranet that connects students with their campus community, academic resources and administrative services. Customized for each university and personalized for each individual, the Campus Pipeline system allows students to save time and frustration by giving them access to their entire campus from anywhere at any time. By integrating with existing campus information systems, students use the Campus Pipeline platform to accomplish "must-do" tasks such as register for classes, pay tuition and view grades as well as "want-to-do" tasks such as access email, chat with friends and stay current on community and campus events.
