WGU Work Areas

Slide 3 of 10

Notes:

The proposed work areas are comprised of 9 different areas: Work Areas are categorized under Business; General Administration, Public Relations, Internal Operations, External Operations, and Academics; Education Providers Management, Academic Services, Courses, Credentials, Clearinghouse Management, Student Support, and Catalog/Adviser. The Business office will have a central work area currently planned to be Utah. The Academic Office will have a central work area currently planned in Colorado. The Education Providers will initially be from the participating states, and the Student Services will be centrally distributed through the Smart Catalog/Adviser to Full and Access Local Centers, throughout the participating states.

The chart above depicts the boundaries of the work areas as Business and Academic work areas. The Business area carries all of the Intranet functions and activities for the WGU staff, while the Academic area carries all of the Extranet functions and activities for WGU clients, vendors, and students. The Internet World Wide Website describes, promotes, and simulates both areas to the general public.
