Registrar

  • Conversion - converted DEM (demographics) for current students into live last night. STU, EXT and STC are in progress.
  • Used Excel to download the schedule from Colleague - it's at the printer now.
  • Datatel is working on transcript program.
  • Effort now is in getting ready for registration on April 17.
  • A lot of rules and checks have been entered - want to check them at pre-registration rather than waiting for arena registration.
  • Doing a lot of data entry on the legacy system now too. Will have to double enter demographics on legacy and Colleague now.

Financial Aid

  • Entering data into live. Hope to import some data from Excel also.
  • Working with Denise on coding.
  • Tested financial aid with billing and it worked.

Residence Life

  • Tested billing of rooms and it worked OK.

Admission

  • Met with Darrell to discuss deposits.
  • Had Safari training with Rich last week; will have communication management consulting next Wednesday.
  • Communications management is going OK. Need more virtual fields. Have some problems with errors - working with solution center to resolve.
  • Concerned about slowness of data entry on student search replies. Takes twice as long as before. Will be hiring more temp help. Working on specs for a custom screen - currently need to go to 5 or 6 screens (3 minutes) to enter each person.

Tech

  • Plan to acquire the forms design software (FormPort).
  • Ben and Kevin working on Web Advisor. Trying to get the search for classes working for pre-reg. We have acquired the beta version.

Jim Ply

  • Dawnelle has quit so we need to hire another temp.
  • Priorities for next week are conversion and registration preparation.
  • April 18-20 - register all other students.
