SHRTRTC - Transcripts

We have one mod on this program that fixes the header information so that the name and address line up in the envelope (it does 8 skiplines). The registrar decided not to add a mod to truncate the name if the name is too long. This may be a problem if we have a long name in Banner but we'll deal with it if it occurs.

SZRFACR

I added some new code to SZRFACR (financial aid's credit hour load) so that it picks up students that drop all classes during pre-registration.
Note: This program should be run with the "NOPRINT" printer option and not to "DATABASE". It's a very large fixed format file that will fill up the table if you run it to database.

Race/Ethnicity Survey

There's a new race/ethnicity survey in Banner 8. It pops up the survey after the person logs into self service. Two dates need to be set in GTVSDAX (start date and end date). The Banner team has documentation on how to set this up. The package is BWGKOMRE.

Banner Upgrade and Letter Generation mod

Admissions told me it was ok to remove the letter generation mod for Banner 8. This will save me a ton of time and 4 mods I don't need to do before next week. This mod added a special underline code (so that words could be underlined when they printed). There's ways to work around it by doing a mail merge in Word.

Scarf - First time freshman

Scarf uses a student's admit code and admit term to determine if a student is a first time freshman. The only exception is students with an A4 admit code. The time between high school graduation and admit term needs to be less than 3 months for them to be considered first time freshman.

Charts

These are the charts that I think would be useful for our banner reports (web based ones).

TZPECHK - cleanup

We had a few transactions that never updated the tzrechk table due to errors so I ran those through this week to clean up the table. We have two transactions that we never received a remittance file for so I'll have to contact the bank to get those.

Scarf changes

I updated the scarf script this week. The name fields are now set to 60 characters in preparation for Banner 8. I added a new field called living_arrangement to the FA record, we will get this data from financial aid. I also added annual_accept_amt to the FC record.
