Correction to previous message:
Please note that SOLAR and PeopleSoft (CS and HCM only) will be unavailable from Friday, September 26th at noon until Monday, September 29th while this update is being performed.
Effective Monday, September 29th, the SOLAR homepage is getting a long-awaited facelift! At that time, when you log in, you’ll see a more modern tile-based look. All functionality will remain the same. View a preview of the new homepage on the DoIT website.
Here's What You Can Expect
- Easier Navigation: A cleaner, more modern interface featuring display tiles will help you find what you need faster.
- My Tasks Tile: Holds, to-do items, and SOLAR messages are now grouped under the “My Tasks” tile, making it easier to access key information all in one place.
- Improved Accessibility: This update is a key step in our preparation for upcoming Title II accessibility guidelines, ensuring the new homepage is fully accessible for all users.
Wait, There’s More
This is just the beginning! Subsequent phases of the SOLAR update will modernize the interior pages of the platform. We anticipate the second phase will occur in 2026 and will share more information as it becomes available.
