Flat panel monitors would lessen eye strain and discomfort . Computer time will only increase with further upgrades to PeopleSoft. Key File is used by multiple departments on the campus. Funds are needed to maintain the system. The PeopleSoft implementation will extend into the next several years as we implement prerequisite checking, degree audit, etc. Funds are needed to support the implementation of these complex processes. Extensive data entry will be required by the classified staff and the funds will be utilized to hire temporary and student staff to service students during peak periods and to backfill. R & A staffs three separate areas during registration. The office hires temporary and student help to staff these areas. Key Performance Indictors for Admissions and Records Department 1. Continuing students have adapted well to the online registration system. We have seen a decrease in the number of students who utilize in-person registration. Students and staff have commented positively about the online service. 2. The new online application has received only positive comments from students. It has greatly increased speed and accessibility to online services.
