Callista

Callista is the University's Student Information Management System. Most academic staff will use Callista, as will professional staff in roles which involve student administration. More information and additional reference and training material is available here

Requesting access

All academic staff automatically have a Callista account created for them. You only need to complete an Application for a Callista Account if you require more than basic inquiry access.

Professional staff are required to complete an application for a Callista Account via the Digital & Campus Services Kiosk.

  • Click on 'Self Serve'
  • Click on 'Modify Application Access' under 'Popular Items'
  • For 'Which Application can we help you with?', select 'Callista'
  • For 'What type of request would you like to make?', select 'I'd like to have access'

Provide the name of a staff member whose access you'd prefer replicated by first selecting 'Yes' to 'Is there a user whose access you'd like to match?' and providing their name in 'Please select the user whose access you'd like to match'. Complete the rest of the form and submit. Please be advised, the application access request must be approved by your line manager.

Accessing the system

You can access the Callista and Callista Connect application by navigating to the Staff Portal and then clicking on either the Callista or Callista Connect application link in the "Easy Logins" menu on the left-hand side of the Staff Portal.

What is the difference between Callista Forms and Callista Connect?

Callista Forms is designed for inputting and changing information such as admission and enrolment etc. Callista SMS is also used for running specialised reports and executing specialised jobs.

Callista Connect is designed for viewing individual information and running reports. Callista Connect runs in an SOE web browser without a plug-in. In general, staff use Callista Connect to view and gather information and Callista SMS to input and change information.
