Want to test your R3 Project knowledge? Take our Course Enrolment terminology quiz!
Posted on Monday, February 24th, 2025
We’re back with our second installment of the R3 Project Terminology Quiz series! Our first topic was Admissions, so feel free to check the first quiz in case you missed it.
Our topics are based on the R3 terms we’ve defined and released so far, which you can find on our website’s Glossary page. It’s also a great glimpse into the language we’ll be using with our new Student Information System (SIS), Thesis Student Management (Thesis SM). With these interactive quizzes, we hope that you can either refresh your memory or learn something new—all while having fun!

Want to test your R3 Project knowledge? Take our Admissions terminology quiz!
Posted on Tuesday, February 11th, 2025
If you’ve ever perused our R3 Project website, you may have stumbled upon the Glossary page, which includes all the R3 terms we’ve defined so far. As we prepare for the launch of the new Student Information System (SIS), Thesis Student Management (or Thesis SM for short), it’s important that our users understand the new and unique terminology that comes with it.
You may have also come across these new terms via New Term Tuesday or at our R3 Showcase events, so hopefully the terminology is somewhat familiar. And if you have been reading up on R3 lingo, now is your chance to test your skills!

The R3 Project officially started back in 2019, and since then, a lot has changed. As the largest project Algonquin College has ever seen, there’s no surprise that the project has evolved over the years based on what we’ve learned and accomplished.
To put things into perspective, let’s take some time to review the R3 Project Phases—we’ve also incorporated a simple construction analogy! Plus, we’ll highlight what’s been accomplished, what’s ahead, and why each phase matters.
