Infinite Campus has a new look and feel! All Infinite Campus customers can now toggle a switch to replace their existing Infinite Campus with a new UI and navigational structure. This new Infinite Campus experience contains all of the same tools as the current Infinite Campus but includes several improvements.
As of Campus.2323, the New Look of Infinite Campus is now available in State Editions of our product! See this section for more information.
Some Premium Product functionality may not yet be available within the new UI.
Simplified Navigation
Navigation is greatly simplified in the new look of Infinite Campus. Gone are the days of row after row of tabs, tools buried below multiple other tools in the Campus outline, and the frustration of not knowing where to look for a particular set of tools. With the new Infinite Campus interface, all tools within a menu item (i.e., Instruction, Student Information, Behavior) are displayed on a single screen, organized by category. You can quickly and easily see all tools available and understand tool relationships based on their category.
The new Infinite Campus also remembers the last tool you selected, meaning navigating back to the last tool you were working in is as easy as hitting the back button on your browser. Infinite Campus will even retain the student you are currently working on.
For users who access a small number of tools or who prefer a navigation style similar to Classic Campus, you can toggle the Main Menu to display and list tools in a flat, organized list of tools per menu item by clicking the 
icon. You can then return to the new navigation style at anytime by clicking the 
button.
Responsive UI Design
The New Look of Infinite Campus is designed with a responsive UI. This means no matter the size of the screen or device, you will still have access to the same functionality and tooling.
As the screen gets smaller, the banner shrinks along with it until it becomes a series of icons. For usability on smaller screens such as a phone, the Main Menu becomes a flat list of tools. Related Tools are not available on small screens. On smaller screens, flags are visible by selecting the  icon (see image below). |  New Look of Infinite Campus - iPhone 12 |
User-Created Menu of Favorite Tools
You can now mark tools as favorites and have these tools populate a separate menu. This allows for easy access to those tools which you find most important and use on a day-to-day basis. To add a tool to your favorites menu, select the 
next to the tool name. To edit the order of this menu, click the Edit button.
Quick Access to Recently Used Tools
You can also quickly access a menu of recently visited tools by clicking the 
icon. This speeds up the process of jumping back and forth between different tools when working through various workflows.
Intuitive Related Tools Toolbar
Many tools throughout the New Look of Infinite Campus provide a Related Tools toolbar on the right-hand side of the screen. This toolbar functions much like how tabs worked in Classic Campus, allowing you to visually see what tools are related to each other and easily navigate to these tools to fill out related data.
Another useful aspect of the toolbar is its ability to remember the context of what you are working on. For example, if you are filling out a student's enrollment record, navigating to Demographics automatically goes into that student's Demographics record without the need to search for and select the student again.
Navigable Breadcrumbs
Navigable breadcrumbs are provided on the right-hand side of the screen when working within a tool. Clicking an item in the breadcrumb will send you to the category or menu item selected.
Robust In-Tool Person Search
When selecting a tool which requires a person be selected, a robust person search prompt is provided, allowing you to search for the person using a variety of options.
Unified Search Menu
The search menu allows you to quickly and easily search a multitude of data within Infinite Campus. Simply click the magnifying glass icon 
,select the type of data you wish to search (i.e., Student, Household, Tool, etc), and enter your search criteria. Results will appear below the search box.
Selecting a search result will send you to the appropriate tool for that piece information.
The search menu also remembers your last search results, allowing you to quickly toggle back and forth between the list of tools within the Main Menu and search results without losing your place in either screen. Search results also remain visible within the left-hand panel while you interact within a tool you got to by selecting a search result.
For a visual demonstration of how this search works, watch the video below.
Advanced Search
Advanced search functionality in the New Look of Infinite Campus functions the same as it does in Classic Campus. To do an advanced search, click the magnifying glass icon, select the search context, and click the Advanced button (see image below).
For more information about this feature, see the Searching in Campus article.
Note: Some search contexts do not have advanced search functionality.
We would love to hear any feedback you might have! You can do so by clicking the Feedback icon near the top of the search tool (see image below).
Person Information Card
Tools focused on a specific person now contain a useful information card which when selected, details important person information as well a summary of their enrollment record(s) in the active school year. This is especially useful for reviewing enrollment information without the need to navigate away from the tool you are currently working in.
The card is also useful for viewing information no longer shown in the banner because you are using a device with a small screen (such as a phone or tablet).
New Look Now Available in State Edition
As of Campus.2323, the New Look of Infinite Campus is now available in State Editions of our product! See the video below for more information.
Why is Infinite Campus Making this Change?
We want our users to have a positive experience when using our product. When first logging in, it should be easy to find the tools and data you need to complete your job. We believe these new changes will help to improve your experience and make your job easier.
As a living software system, Infinite Campus doesn't update to a new version quite like other programs do. We release new features and software changes every 4 weeks with our continuous release cycle. This UI change is much bigger than a standard update as it touches all areas of the product and has been years in the making. We're doing a lot of front end changes for our users, as well as behind the scenes changes to bring our product to a new technological platform that keeps our student information system viable into the future.
The new navigation provides a way to modernize our tech stack and show old and new tools side-by-side while supplying a modern platform for new tools in the future. This change allows us to continue to protect our investment in legacy tools while providing the latest features.
How Do I Turn it On?
To turn on the new look of Infinite Campus:
- Select the User Menu icon (the person icon
in the upper right-hand corner of the screen). - Click the Try New Look toggle from OFF to ON (see image below).
in the upper right-hand corner of the screen).
If the Try New Look button does not appear for you, your District Administrator may have turned off this feature.
For District Administrators, a system preference exists that allows you to control who can access the Try New Look toggle or enforce the use of New Look for all users in a district. This preference can be accessed by searching for District Preferences and locating the User Access to the New Look of Campus preference (see image below).
Starting in Campus.2415, the User Access to New Look of Campus (Try New Look) preference was updated to include a 'Use New Look Only' option. When selected, all users in the district are automatically put into the New Look of Infinite Campus and cannot toggle back to Classic Campus.
Where Did My Campus Instruction Tools Go?
All Campus Instruction tools are available by selecting the Instruction menu item (see image below). The new look and feel of Infinite Campus rejoins Campus Instruction with the rest of the Campus tools and removes the need to use two separate spaces of Infinite Campus to do your work.
This change modifies how you navigate to Campus Instruction tools but DOES NOT impact their functionality.
Help! I Can't Find a Tool
We understand one of the most challenging aspects of the new navigation is finding where tools are now located. To ease this burden, we highly suggest you take advantage of the Tool search located within the unified search found by selecting the magnifying glass icon 
.
Click here to access a list of where tools are now located in the New Look of Campus.
You can also find tools quickly and easily by creating your own list of favorites. See the User-Created Menu of Favorite Tools section for more information about this process.
If I Change My Mind, Can I Turn This Off?
If at any time you change your mind and decide you would like to return to the classic view of Infinite Campus, select the person icon
in the upper right-hand corner of the screen and click the Try New Look toggle to OFF. The screen will refresh and you will return to the classic view of Infinite Campus.

in the upper right-hand corner of the screen and click the Try New Look toggle to OFF (see image above). The screen will refresh and you will return to the classic view of Infinite Campus.
Can I Control Where My Custom Tools/Reports Appear?
Yes! Using Custom Tool Setup, you can customize where in the New Look and Feel of Campus navigation UI your custom tools/reports will live. You can either place custom tools/reports within existing menu items and categories or customize and create your own menu items and categories.
What is the Current Timeline for the New Look of Campus?
The New Look of Infinite Campus will permanently replace Classic Campus in the 2025-2026 school year. Administrators who want to enforce the New Look now can set the User access to the new look of Campus (Try New Look) system preference to 'Use New Look Only'. This setting forces all users to use the New Look and prevents them from toggling back to Classic Campus.
We appreciate the multitude of positive and constructive feedback you have all provided us via our forums, in-product feedback, and various user group/training engagements. We will continue to listen to this feedback and work hard to provide the best experience and functionality possible.
Give Us Feedback!

Search Framework Changes and What it Means for You
As of the Campus.2251 Release Pack, the underlying technology used for performing searches within the New Look of Infinite Campus has been changed. This change was needed to provide users with a consistent and reliable experience and ensure search functionality will remain available and stable.
Expand the section below for more information on how these changes impact search behavior:
Search results are now sorted alphanumerically instead of best match
| Before Change | After Change |
|---|---|
In the example below, searching for Anderson produces results based on best match, not alphabetical. | In this example, search results for Anderson are displayed alphabetically. |
Person-related searches use strict name matching instead of synonyms
| Before Change | After Change |
|---|---|
In the example below, a search for Jimmy displays students named Jimmy, Jaime, and James. | In this example, searching for ,Jimmy produces results for only students with the first name Jimmy. Note: Updated search behavior searches on Last Name, First Name.  |
Users can no longer do open-ended/no criteria Person, Household, Address, and Course Master searching
| Before Change | After Change |
|---|---|
In the example below, household search results appear without defining any search criteria. | In this example, the user is unable to produce search results until search criteria is entered. |
The number of search results are now limited based on a district-defined system preference
| Before Change | After Change |
|---|---|
In the example below, search results were not limited to a certain number of results (user received 45,246 results). | The number of search results is limited to the Search Limit system preference set. In this example, the Search Limit system preference is set to 500, so only 500 results are produced.  Below is an image of the Search Limit system preference. Click to see image |
