How is the information on Planet used?

Planet data is used by OU units and systems to support module activities in two essential ways.

Approval purposes

CAUs: to get early stage-gate approvals from external OU units (e.g. A6 approval from the Curriculum & Qualifications Office)
Module Teams: to get other stage-gate approvals from external OU units (e.g. REP11 approval from Student Services)
CAU deaneries: to get approval for Qualifications, that are subsequently transferred to CIRCE so students can link their modules to qualifications.

Prospectuses & Study at the OU require Planet module, presentation, subject and qualification data.
CIRCE: student registrations and qualification transcripts require Planet module, presentation, qualification and specification data.
Student mailings and contents checklists: the Warehouse requires Planet module, presentation and mailing data.
Student number forecasts: the Forecasting Team require Planet module, presentation and initial CAU forecast data.
The Library: requires Planet module, presentation and materials data to check stock.
