LET retirement set for spring 2015

With the upgrade to PeopleSoft 9.0, one of the first changes that will occur is the retirement of the LET ("Lecture Workaround") course component. PeopleSoft 9.0 has a more flexible approach for classes that typically meet as a multi-component class but sometimes are offered as a single component class. The LEC component will work for the classes formerly using LET.

Effective for classes offered spring 2015 (1153), the LET course component will no longer be necessary. To assist with data preparation, we will immediately begin converting all classes currently listed as LET scheduled for spring 2015 (1153) to LEC (1143, 1145, and 1149 will all continue to use LET). You will notice this change in ECS for spring 2015 very soon. All classes for future terms with a LET component will be batch updated in the Schedule of Classes to a LEC prior to the upgrade. No extra effort on your part required.

The retirement of the LET removes a confusing workaround--a win for ESUP!
