Academic project · ServiceNow school lab

A ServiceNow portal that makes registrar information easier to find.

For an NJIT school project, I built a searchable portal with 42 registrar articles organized into 12 categories. I also revised the registration guide so the steps, common errors, and contact information are easier to follow.

The need

Make routine registrar information easier to find and use.

Registration, transcripts, graduation, privacy, and academic policies all have different steps and deadlines. Students needed one place to search for the right article or browse by topic.

I used clear category names, consistent article layouts, visible contact information, and ServiceNow version history to keep current guidance separate from older articles.

Portal home page

Search for an answer or browse by topic.

The home page includes search, popular topics, category links, office hours, and registrar contact details. Students can start with a question or select the type of task they need help with.

Example revision

Turn a dense registration guide into steps students can follow.

I revised the registration article through version 3.0. The current version starts with a short overview, separates preparation from the registration steps, explains common errors, and uses tables for holds and deadlines.

  • Short overview before detailed instructions
  • Numbered registration steps in task order
  • Separate explanations for common Banner errors
  • Scannable tables for holds and deadlines
  • Clear escalation and contact information
