Datatel Colleague

There are two versions of the User Interface, or UI: client and web. Datatel users in the Administration Building, Bowman Hall, University Services, and General Services can request the client version by contacting the ASK5000 Helpdesk. Users in other buildings on campus can get web UI below (web UI requires Java be loaded on your computer, the correct version can also be downloaded and installed below). Off campus users will have to use web UI and can get it below.
