iKozminski

iKozminski is an application designed especially for the community of Kozminski University - applicants for admission to the university, students, graduates, and employees.

It is a source of a lot of useful information. The information includes news, events, job offers, and much more. However, its greatest advantage is the possibility to use it to manage the course of study as it provides access to the most important information for the student: the schedule of classes, grades, and course materials.

iKozminski is also a useful tool for KU’s faculty members, administrative staff, and guests.  The application features maps which make it possible to find the room you may be looking for on KU’s premises.

The application is modifiable. It means that its home screen can be customised to your needs. Most features of iKozminski can be added to the home screen, where they will appear in the form of widgets. This is very useful because some sections offer then additional features. In this case, the schedule of classes will display the schedule for the current day, and the library section will display the number of books currently borrowed. This will let you to adjust the application to what you may need at the moment.

Moreover, the application has a notification function, which will inform you about new announcements published in the Virtual University system, grades added, and changes in the status of any pending decisions.

Frequently asked questions:

1.    I can’t log in to the application. What should I do?
o    Make sure if the login details are correct - check both the login and the password. Check if you can log in to the Virtual University system on a desktop computer.
o    If it turns out that all data is correct and you are logging in on your computer without any problems, please contact the IT Department - room A115
2.    I have the impression that some data reaches the application with some delay. I have to wait some time before the information from the Virtual University system in the computer version appears in the mobile application.
o    Certain information can be displayed with a delay – this is because of the structure of the system, where information entered in our office computer system is transferred to the mobile application with a delay of several minutes. The delay results from the need to cache data before it is sent to mobile applications. This way, we have a chance to catch incorrect information before it is sent. The longest normal delay that can occur is 30 minutes.
3.    I have a tablet with Windows 8. Can I install iKozminski on it?
o    Unfortunately, at the moment, the application is not available for computers with Windows operating systems. The application is only available on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone operating systems.
