Why colleges and universities are replacing PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, the modern cloud options to consider, and how the underlying student, HR and finance data actually moves.
Move finance, HR and payroll to Oracle Fusion Cloud and pair it with a modern student system — a natural path for PeopleSoft shops staying in the Oracle ecosystem.
A cloud-native SIS + finance/HR suite chosen by many institutions replacing legacy campus ERP.
Banner/Colleague institutions and some PeopleSoft shops evaluate Ellucian’s cloud SIS as a higher-ed-specific option.
Some campuses combine a cloud ERP for finance/HR with a separate SIS — which makes clean data migration and reconciliation across systems essential.

Choosing the new platform is the easy decision; getting decades of PeopleSoft Campus Solutions data into it — students, transcripts, financial aid, GL, HR — cleanly and provably is the hard part. That’s where migrations slip.
Pull student, financial-aid, finance and HR data from PeopleSoft — including effective-dated records and history.
Source-to-target mapping to the cloud ERP/SIS data model and load formats (FBDI/HDL for Oracle Fusion).
Load via the target’s supported interfaces, then reconcile record counts source-to-target so nothing is lost.
Keep records you don’t carry forward in a read-only archive for FERPA/Title IV retention.

Common choices are Oracle Fusion Cloud (paired with a student system), Workday Student, and Ellucian’s cloud SIS — selected on fit, cost, roadmap and how cleanly your Campus Solutions data can migrate.
On-prem cost, heavy customization debt, an uncertain roadmap, integration difficulty, and demand for modern cloud experiences for students and staff.
Extract students, transcripts, financial aid, finance and HR from Campus Solutions, map to the new platform’s model, load via its interfaces, reconcile record counts, and archive whatever isn’t migrated for retention.
Tell us your source systems — PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, Ellucian Banner or Colleague, Jenzabar — and whether you’re migrating to cloud or archiving for FERPA/Title IV. We’ll scope it.
