University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies expands its
student support system with the launch of a new online portal, CDS
Central, featuring consolidated resources for doctoral students on
academic pathways, dissertation requirements, and general program
guidance with written and video resources and support.
“We have a vibrant community of busy, working adult scholars,
and we are always seeking opportunities to support and enhance
their learning experience,” shares Hinrich Eylers, Ph.D., P.E.,
vice provost, College of Doctoral Studies. “This new online portal
supplements our system of support with 24-7 access to resources
that help our practitioner scholars locate the right information in
the moment.”
The CDS Central online portal is publicly available and
accessible through the College of Doctoral Studies’ Research Hub
home page menu or as a direct link. As part of the College’s
broader learning culture, the Research Hub provides doctoral
student support resources and showcases scholarly articles and
research news focused on providing value-driven, real-world
solutions.
The online portal is designed for anyone in the College of
Doctoral Studies academic community. While created with the primary
intent of providing a one-stop platform for doctoral students to
have immediate, comprehensive access to information related to the
dissertation and academic journey, CDS Central is also used as a
resource for faculty and alumni to view current program materials
and requirements.
As the objective of the doctoral journey is the successful
completion of a primary research dissertation, CDS Central features
many of the necessary support items focused on advancing students’
research including a dissertation handbook, library resources, and
academic writing guides. “The resources are treated as living
documents and frequently updated, so students can be sure the
information they are viewing is current,” shares John Ramirez, MBA,
MS/AJS-GHS, USA CSM (ret) and dean of operations for the
College.
CDS Central joins the College’s Doctoral Education Ecosystem® of
support and commitment to academic excellence and research
innovation along with the Research Hub launched in 2023 and the
recent growth of its Alumni Mentor Program.
Doctoral students also have access to the same 24/7 support
channels as students across colleges and programs by University of
Phoenix. The University's chatbot, Phoebe®, along with the Life
Resource Center and the Virtual Student Union, offers always-on
assistance, resources, and engagement opportunities that cater to
students' diverse needs and schedules.
CDS Central is publicly available here.
