The Enterprise System Upgrade Program (ESUP) had its official kick-off on October 16 and immediately began the "Plan & Discover" phase of the upgrade. This phase reaffirmed and built upon the preliminary fit/gap analyses and planning and set the scope and schedule for ESUP going forward. The core activity of the second phase, which started in February, is called Interactive Design and Prototyping (IDP). To learn what IDP is and why it's needed as part of the upgrade process, see the recent post on the ESUP blog.
In order to find the best possible solutions for the gaps it identifies between the modifications we have made to our current system and the newest version of PeopleSoft, the Student Records team is establishing regular "town hall" meetings to engage with the students, staff, and faculty involved with affected business processes. These meetings will be held on the second and fourth Friday of each month. Meeting information--including time and location, agenda, and any supporting documents--will be posted to the ESUP Student Records web page.
The next meeting, which will focus on course/class issues, will be Friday, March 8, 8:30-10 a.m. in Fraser B20. Topics will include section status report, reserve capacities, waitlist capacities, and waitlist auto-enroll.
