Matriculation Online and Back Office -- Princeton Admissions used to mail each matriculated student a packet of forms to be completed and returned to various offices.  The Web-Based Matriculation Online System allows us to capture matriculated student’s data from the web rather than from multiple paper forms.  By using web-based forms we can streamline the process by creating one front-end for freshmen to use when providing data to various university offices. In addition, new students will benefit from “one-stop shopping” when providing data to Princeton University since the Matriculation Forms will be accessible from the main freshman website.
The data collected from this website will be fed back into PeopleSoft (Campus Community, and Student Records) as well as distributed to the central offices systems.
