SEE IT (ISSUE):
OWN IT (ASSIGN):
Ticket 2581/Students who dropped after census but did not receive any
penalty. 34 students were identified to be dropped with a W. All students dropped
via self-service.13 classes were affected; all were dynamically dated online
classes. Amany stated that PeopleSoft does not round up when calculating census Gopaal Chandrasekar
Amany ElMasry
1 and attendance verification dates on dynamically dated classes. Adding census
dates to dynamically dated online classes is included in the new customization.
2 A request has been made to customize the withdrawal process from Quick Enroll and
to add 501 courses to the withdrawal process logic.


No progress was made last week. Gopaal will meet with Amany tomorrow so
this issue can be resolved.
Ticket 2582 /2965-Term Withdrawal for F14. Based upon the query results, it has
been determined that the students that are not going through term withdrawal are
either still enrolled in an ungraded, no unit course or they have been dropped by A&R
using Quick Enroll.

3 he is able to finish the CIP codes update (see Item# 5) before Monday.

Dominique will begin transitioning submission of enrollment reporting to A&R.
Ticket 2770. It has been determined that we need to continue to use Correct
History manually as required to update majors during the term. Frank is still
testing how the survey and pop-up window will feed into the program/plan when
submitted through Quick Enroll.
The updated majors are being reported correctly but based on the effective date,
sometimes are not feeding over to the FA module so the student’s major mismatch
checklist item does not get updated.

Amany worked with Gopaal to
create a custom process to correctly
calculate the census date for
dynamically dated classes. Amany
reported that the process is 90%
complete but on hold while Gopaal
works on another project.
Ticket will remain open until the
custom process is put into
production.
Coding in TST environment got lost
when environment was refreshed.
Kyu will move to UAT again for
end-user testing.
Silvia will test in the coming week.
Team still testing new configuration.

Other discussions/ issues:
Amany looked at the grading setup for 501 classes. All active 501 courses are setup as NOG (Non Credit/Not Graded), but the Ungraded value was added as of 2008. Dominique
suggested that Amany could check with JoAnn Phillips as to why this change was made. Silvia will review the Grading Scheme Table and the course setups to make sure all set up is
consistent.
This group has a deadline of June 30, 2015 to complete all the outstanding Audit Finding issues. Tom Wong suggested changing the frequency of these meetings and changing the name
of the group after the deadline. Campus Solutions Work Team was suggested for the name of the group. Tom Wong was asked to report back to Dr. Gravenberg that each member of the
group needs at least 4 hours of release time per week, in addition to the two hour weekly meeting, to work on the outstanding issues in order to get them resolved before the deadline. It
is becoming increasingly difficult to spend the required amount of time to test the fixes and work with the smaller teams on top of daily work. Support from all direct managers is needed
in order to get this work completed. Also, managers need to be aware that attendance to these weekly meeting is mandatory. At least until June 30, this meeting should be a priority with
all members in attendance.
Karen or Tom will remind Dr. Gravenberg to meet with Ranell Holmes regarding access to the NSC Report site. Multiple users should be able to access the site at the same time. This
will help to meet our report submittal deadlines. All administrator and user access needs to be evaluated and updated so errors can be resolved in a timely manner.
The meeting next week will begin at 11 am. Tom invited the team to lunch immediately following the meeting.
Parking Lot
Silvia reported on the discontinuation process. It her understanding that process is only supposed to be run once per academic year. Any student who has not attended Fall 14 and Spring
15 will be discontinued. Students lose their catalog rights if discontinued.
If was noted that if criteria has changed then written policy needs to be reflected. More clarification regarding the criteria will be researched by A&R.
Silvia will open a ticket to provide IT with the criteria needed in order to accept CCCApply applications for a previous term that will correctly term-activate a student, as well as add a
row to the program/plan (e.g. Student applies for Summer 2015, but decides he/she would like to enroll in a Spring Intersession class. At this time, the student can submit an application
for the new term, but he/she does not get term-activated for Spring because they’ve been term-activated for Summer/Fall 2015). There are outstanding questions about residency.

Ticket 2365. The request was to update all the invalid majors.
OWN IT (ASSIGN):
Roderick Fajarda
Ticket 2264/2547. 64 records had co-requisites issues when attempting to drop
one of the co-requisites. There were overrides that are part of the drop process that
Kyu Lee
were not applied during the cleaned up process.
Karen Croley
A new ticket (2547) was created to add the override requirement to the fix for
ticket 2264. The override fix was successful.
Ticket 1916. Teresa looked at this and it was turned into ticket 2365. The original
request was to clean up all invalid student plans. At a prior meeting, it was stated
Charlotte Smith
that Ranell had ticket 2365 closed because an alternative solution was proposed.
Dominique Benavides
Dom noted that since it had been determined that a mass clean up could not occur,
changes on the academic plan side would continue to resolve NSC errors.
Ticket 794. FABATCH process. Rosters are available to faculty from census and
attendance verification day and for seven days after. There is a nightly drop
Joyce Brown- Willis
process that drops students each night. The process backdates the drops to the date
Karen Croley
before the deadline. This causes drop date errors which in turn cause incorrect
Kyu Lee
grades and fees to be applied to student records.
Ticket 1442- Roster Availability. Need to talk to Adela and decided that 2 weeks
or less for a class, the roster will be available 2 days prior. Otherwise, roster to be
available 7 days prior.
