Creating a Selection Process
The Student Experience
Extracting Data From SSO
Features That Make The Job A Breeze
Hundreds of schools have already automated their subject selection process using SSO’s features!
Juggle like a Pro
Get so much more out of SSO than just subject selections. Use SSO for school voting, extra-curricular bookings, teacher class preferences, surveys and any other time you need to securely collect data at your school.
Extract More
Tailor your own extracts to meet your needs; whether it’s selection data for your timetabling software or a spreadsheet focusing on the areas of interest. Whatever data you’re extracting, you know that it has already been put through your selection criteria requirements!
Waitlist Management
No need for queuing outside your office door. If there’s limited positions available, choose whether to block out courses once they’ve reached the limit, or let SSO manage the waitlist for you. SSO keeps the waitlists in order, so if a space opens up, SSO will allocate it to the first in line.
Access from Anywhere
Being cloud-based has its perks. SSO can be accessed on any device as long as you have access to the internet. Each selection process can have its own access dates, set up easily with just a few clicks!
Schedule Appointments
If students need some guidance, or maybe want to review their choices, a student can book an appointment with the appropriate person at your school to get the best help available.
It's Personal
SSO is like one big form, built just for each student. The page is configured to only show them their chosen pathway. Students are guided through selections with clear indicators to show what they need to do to meet selection requirements, what they’re eligible to choose, and what your team recommends for them.
Super Checker
Save time by letting SSO do all the validity checks for each selection in real-time, checking the prerequisites, recommendations, capacity limits, min/max requirements, permitted combinations and any other requirements you need to set up.
Advanced Reporting
You can track how one student is progressing, see what percentage of a cohort have completed all requirements, or even see if the same course is more popular on Line 3 or Line 5!
Use advanced reporting to see how students are tracking in their selections process and other trends
Look and Feel
Make your SSO look and feel like it’s a part of your school. You can display your school’s very own logo and picture on the login page. Whether it’s the words, the images, links to more details, or specialist pathways, SSO is your blank canvas with a solid frame.
Include Files and Images
Planning on printing all 6 million pages or your selection handbook for each student again? Forget it! Add a link to the document into SSO so everyone can access it online. Simple!
Multi-Level Rules
Control what can or can’t be done by students on individual selections, whole instructions or entire sections!
It Takes a Village
SSO has access for co-ordinators, decision makers, course counsellors and home teachers too! Your team can access the right areas of SSO to help students or respond to requests, without them having to wait in line.
Parent PINs
Allow parents to wield the PIN of Authorisation, providing them with the power to confirm that the students’ choices are for the greater good (or at least for the students’ future!)
Manage Override Requests
Want to give students the option to request an override for selections they aren’t eligible for? Choose whether you want students to make a request, and SSO can get the request to the right decision maker in your team.
Mutiple Events at Once
Have multiple years running subject selections at a time? Or want to run your Extra Curricular Selections while Student Pathways are on? No problem! Run as many events as you need! And hey, you can even run the same process several times throughout the year.
Payment Gateway
If you’re having a few hassles collecting payments, make it available as part of the selection process. Your school chooses whether a fixed amount or a percentage of the total selections is the minimum required. Accept payments, even after the selection process is closed!
System Agnostic
Don’t be trapped in an unhealthy relationship with your student management system or timetabling software. Whether you’re putting data in or taking data out, SSO lets you choose where the data is coming from, and going to.

SSO Is Making A Difference In Schools Across Australia
“The newest College onboard with our School Information Systems used SSO for the first time with Junior subject selections. They are delighted to be transitioning to paperless process, which removes the work intensity of collecting forms and translating choices into Excel spreadsheets. Being able to transfer student subject selection data directly from SSO to the Timetabling software is seen as a great enhancement to their processes. They are looking forward to extending their usage of the product next year.”
“Bringing SSO into Ocean Reef was a tremendous relief. It saved us time, reduced stress of staff and helped make the entire subject selection process smooth and efficient. I can’t speak highly enough of SSO.”
