Mobile USOS PANS Krosno: Your All-in-One University App

The Mobile USOS PANS Krosno application is an essential tool designed specifically for students and employees of the State University of Applied Sciences in Krosno. This mobile app is a localized version of the broader Mobile USOS platform, which is the official mobile application developed by the USOS programming team. USOS, short for the University Study System, is widely used across numerous universities in Poland, each having its unique version tailored to the specific needs of their academic community.

Version 1.11 of Mobile USOS PANS Krosno introduces a robust suite of features aimed at enhancing communication, organization, and access to critical resources for both students and staff. One of the primary functions is the class schedule, which defaults to showing the current day’s timetable but offers additional options such as "Tomorrow," "All Week," "Next Week," and "Any Week." This flexibility ensures that users can plan their schedules effectively, whether they're preparing for the day ahead or reviewing long-term commitments.

Another key feature is the academic calendar, allowing students to stay informed about significant academic year events like registration periods, holidays, and exam sessions. The app also includes a class groups module, providing detailed information about courses, including lecturer details, participant lists, and the ability to view class locations on Google Maps. Dates can easily be synced with the calendar on your mobile device, ensuring seamless integration into personal schedules.

For faculty members, the attendance lists module facilitates the creation, filling, and tracking of attendance records for courses. Meanwhile, the grades/exam reports module enables students to view all their grades while allowing staff to input final marks and generate comprehensive reports. Notifications regarding new grades are sent regularly to keep everyone updated promptly.

The tests module is another standout feature, where students can monitor their test scores and final assignments, and staff have the capability to add points, grades, comments, and adjust test visibility. Similar to grades, notifications about new test results are sent out systematically to ensure timely acknowledgment.

Additional tools include surveys, allowing students to participate in various polls, while staff can track participation rates. The course registrations function empowers students to sign up for or drop courses and check their enrollment status. Other notable modules include USOSmail, enabling communication within class groups; mLegitymacja, offering an electronic student ID card; and payments, displaying both settled and pending financial transactions.

Further enhancing functionality, the app integrates a QR scanner, making it easy to navigate between different sections using QR codes. There’s also a useful information section highlighting vital data such as contact details for the dean’s office and student government. Regular updates via the news feed deliver important announcements from authorized personnel, while the search engine simplifies finding specific students, employees, or courses.

While the app continues to evolve, with more features planned for future releases, the USOS programming team remains committed to incorporating user feedback. To fully utilize the app, users must have a valid account on the PANS Krosno website, often referred to as a CAS account. Additionally, Mobile USOS PANS Krosno supports both Polish and English languages, catering to a diverse user base.

This innovative application is made possible through collaboration between the University of Warsaw and the Inter-University Informatization Center, under the auspices of the "e-UW - Development of e-Services of the University of Warsaw Related to Education" project. Funded partially by the Regional Operational Program Masovia Voivodeship for 2014-2020, this initiative aims to modernize educational services and improve accessibility for all stakeholders involved.

In summary, Mobile USOS PANS Krosno stands as a comprehensive solution for managing academic life efficiently. Its diverse array of features caters to both academic and administrative needs, fostering better communication and organization within the university community. As development progresses, expect even more enhancements that promise to streamline processes further and provide greater convenience for its users.
