ACTION ITEMS/OPEN ISSUES: THE FOLLOWING ACTION ITEMS AND ASSIGNMENTS WERE DISCUSSED ON TUESDAY, June 9, 2015 SEE IT (ISSUE): # Ticket 3185/NSC Report. All errors have been addressed and the final spring 2015 reports have been submitted for all four colleges. 1 Student who have withdrawn from the term are still showing up with an enrolled status. Teresa is running three tests with Oracle and will work with Silvia to resolve the issue. Ticket 2770. It has been determined that we need to continue to use Correct History manually as required to update majors during the term. If a survey is submitted through Passport or Quick Enroll after the term begins the effective date will be the current date. 2 3 4 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. Silvia still testing. OpenCCC applications for prior term. When students submit an application for a term prior to their current active term, the application goes to the suspend file. Currently, correct history is needed to get account activated for the prior term. OWN IT (ASSIGN): SOLVE IT (STRATEGY): Dominique Benavides Silvia Cortez Frank Chez Silvia Cortez Dominique Sylvia Cortez Frank Chez Teresa fixed the error and Silvia will check to see if the ticket has been closed. Teresa will close the ticket. Charlotte will send the list of issues to Teresa. DO IT (TIMELINE): Update on 6/16/2015 OUTCOME: In Progress Update on 6/16/2015 In Progress A pop-up screen will appear in promt when students have a bad academic plan and are adding classes at the A&R offices. Frank moved the project to UAT for testing. Silvia will retest. Sylvia will open a ticket. Update on 6/16/2015 In Progress Kyu will look at drops from the attendance roster. Dom and Silvia will test. Update on 6/16/2015 In Progress There are outstanding questions about residency for the prior term. W grade but no attempted units – Dom identified that some student records showed no attempted units for students who were dropped with a W grade. No progress and still needs testing. No cause or group of students has been identified Silvia Cortez to determine a fix. Dom, Charlotte, Teresa No update this week. Other discussions/ issues: There was a discussion about the need for communication when classes are canceled. If a student is enrolled in a class that gets canceled and financial aid is not notified, the student will be overpaid. It was noted that each college handles canceled classes differently and it was agreed by this group that there should be a cut-off date for canceling classes. A recommendation would come from this group and then go through the process to reach the VP/Deans meeting. 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. Amany stated that NOG Ungraded should be used in all cases. Silvia will review the Grading Scheme Table and the course setups to make sure all set up is consistent and that 501 courses will populate NG for the grade. There needs to be a discussion about the possibility of faculty assigning the NG on the 501 grade rosters. It has been determined that the issue of 501 classes not being graded is user error, not a system error. All NOG classes have only NG for the grade value option. Silvia will open a ticket to have the NG grade default to all NOG classes. Roderick sent Silvia a list of 30 students who did not get the NG value when he ran the enrollment requests. Silvia will test. This group has a deadline of June 30, 2015 to complete all the outstanding Audit Finding issues. Tom Wong submitted a recommendation memo to Dr. Gravenberg suggesting that this group become a permanent working team that will address Campus Solutions issues as they come up. The memo also requested that each member of the group be given management approval to work at least 4 hours 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. Dr. Gravenberg sent an email to all managers with staff on this team requesting that they allow four hours a week for work team follow up and testing. Dominique will talk to Adela about 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. Silvia now has access to all colleges and the list of users. She will clean up the list and give it to Dave and Adela. 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 follow up with Roderick about discontinuation criteria. Parking Lot There is a ticket open regarding tax ID numbers. We are waiting for the OpenCCC fix. Peralta Student Email: All communication to students from financial aid must be sent to their Peralta student email account. Students should not be allowed to delete their Peralta email account. Sylvia will submit a ticket with screenshots. IT needs to update the student email instructions on the website. # CLOSED IT (ISSUE): 1 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 were Kyu Lee 2 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 3 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 process Joyce Brown- Willis Karen Croley 4 that drops students each night. The process backdates the drops to the date before the deadline. This causes drop date errors which in turn cause incorrect grades and Kyu Lee fees to be applied to student records. SOLVE IT (STRATEGY): DO IT (TIMELINE): OUTCOME: There was a mass update to fix all invalid majors. CLOSED Default overrides for roster drops in production were applied to the fix. CLOSED Errors will continue to be addressed with Amany’s help on the Academic Plan table. CLOSED Ticket 1442 made rosters available prior to the submission deadlines. This ticket stopped the nightly drop process and now drops are posted in real time. CLOSED Ticket 1442- Roster Availability.

Joyce Brown-Willis Karen Croley Silvia Cortez Amany ElMasry Karen Croley Charlotte Smith Silvia Cortez Joyce Brown-Willis Kyu Lee Joyce Brown-Willis Karen Croley Kyu Lee Drop dates have been a major issue with incorrect student records. Making rosters available prior to census and attendance verification instead of 7 days after will help with this issue.

Effective Date logic in Survey Customization 11 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 and Gopaal Chandrasekar attendance verification dates on dynamically dated classes. Adding census dates to Amany ElMasry dynamically dated online classes is included in the new customization. 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. Amany sent an email to Gopaal to request that the customization be moved to production. She hasn’t heard back but thinks Gopaal is waiting on Ranell’s approval. 12 Ticket 2879.
