Updates

• Over 3,000 students registered in 7,341 seats in the first 3 days of returning student registration.

• Staff who use Macs are getting a security message when they enter the system.  Computer Services may want to provide more information about what this message means.
• Registration activity on September 5 was more than double the previous high activity date, June 2.  The system performed very well, and any slowdowns were in an acceptable range.  SCT is still working on a systemic solution to slowdown problems on peak days.

Module Updates as Needed

• Student:  There were only a few student concerns related to fall registration.  The major impact of registration on Enrollment Services has been getting updated information from returning students and sorting out the different registration times for new and continuing/returning students.  Two students reported being unable to see the ExpressLane logo.  This is a result of “ad blocker” software that these students are running on their computers.  One student erroneously thought that her lack of a DSL connection prevented her from accessing the system early in the morning.
• FA: This team has had difficulty getting letters to print that worked previously.  The programmer and functional staff continue to work on this.

• LIMT noted that there might still be an issue about COCO access ending on September 12.
• LIMT needs to discuss 2004 Summit attendance at a future meeting.
