A redesigned Office of Classroom Management (OCM) website will launch Tuesday, October 3, 2017. Its simplified design offers easy access to classroom technology instructions, scheduling applications, and information about Classroom Technical Services (CTS), including audio/visual equipment design and installation.
The new site utilizes the Drupal 8 content management system, which enhances mobile delivery. The website address will remain the same; however, URLs for internal links will change. Redirects will be set up for commonly-accessed pages.

Supplemental Class Search is being retired
The Supplemental Class Search will no longer be available as of September 23, 2017. The supplemental class search was built as a temporary solution for advisors and staff following the PeopleSoft upgrade in 2015.
Since then, new class search functionality has been added to Schedule Builder to replace this temporary solution. You may also continue to use the MyU/PeopleSoft delivered Class Search or other tools developed by colleges.
Feel free to provide feedback on the Schedule Builder Class Search via the comment form. Thank you.

Campus Solutions 9.2 Technical Upgrade Go-Live Information
A period of system downtime is necessary to complete the first phase of the PeopleSoft Campus Solutions 9.2 Upgrade. PeopleSoft Campus Solutions (Student Records) and related systems will be unavailable starting at 9 a.m. (previously reported as 7 a.m.) on Saturday, September 23. Work is anticipated to be complete and systems available again at noon on Sunday, September 24. See full details on system availability during the planned outage.
Academic schedulers should not do any work in Astra Schedule Sept. 23-24 during the upgrade, or their work will be lost. Scheduled events and event requests will work as normal. The academic term data will be refreshed before 7 a.m. on Monday morning.
When systems are restored Sunday afternoon, users will notice minimal changes in PeopleSoft (restricted to look and feel). Preview these changes.
Those who use PeopleSoft frequently may need to clear their browser cache and cookies when logging in for the first time after the upgrade is complete.

Canvas update
Over the next two years, Canvas will replace Moodle as the University's centrally-supported Learning Management System. About 5% of instructors will be using Canvas this fall. More are expected to use it in spring 2018. See the Canvas Transition website for more information and a timeline.
With the new Canvas process, all classes that are setup in PeopleSoft will have an unpublished class site automatically generated before the start of each semester. The unpublished Canvas courses will be displayed to instructors if they are assigned as a primary instructor in PeopleSoft.
Currently, many courses in PeopleSoft do not have a primary instructor assigned. Schedulers should assign primary instructors, teaching assistants, and other instructor roles to support this process as well as for class rosters and grade entry.
