Datatel's Colleague and Colleague Advancement Systems
AU's administrative computing systems comprise two integrated applications developed by Datatel, Inc. Colleague consists of integrated modules to manage student academic records, financial information, and human resources records. Colleague Advancement supports the development and alumni support initiatives at the university. Please note: This system uses your synchronized my.american.edu password.
For a new Datatel account or to modify your assigned security classes, go to the specialized account request form to submit your request for approval.
To work with Datatel, your computer will need the UI Client. Instructions for downloading the client will be provided to you after your Datatel account is created.
