Min/Max registration hours - continued

I was unable to get a copy of the min/max registration mod from OSU because they are no longer supporting it. We will use the baseline min/max registration hours and try to work around the problems. I'll be working on it next week and hopefully have it in production by the end of the week.

New Cron - SZPFTPU

I created a new cron today to ftp our incoming EDI file to OUS for testing. As soon as we go in production with the new EDI system with OUS, I'll remove this cron since it will no longer be needed.

TSRCBIL not printing correctly - blank pages

If TSRCBIL (student bills) stops printing correctly such as printing blank pages, check the printer setting "append CR to LF" and make sure it is set to YES. This is usually found under the printing menu and PCL submenu.

New outgoing EDI

With the help of OUS staff, we are now officially switched over to the new EDI process for outgoing transcripts. The transcripts are set over to OUS's server where they are processed and then uploaded to Texas.

Baseline Minimum/Maximum Credit Hours

I tested the baseline minimum/maximum credit hours feature in banner and it doesn't seem like it will work for us without modifications. It doesn't allow overrides (which we really need) and it doesn't support min/max hours by citizenship code which we need for the international students. There is workarounds we could use to get around these problems but they are cumbersome. I'm trying to get a copy of the OSU min/max registration mod to see how that works for us.

Race/Ethnicity Survey

The Race/Ethnicity survey is controlled by two entries in GTVSDAX:

Powerfaids update, Ethnicity update

I installed two Powerfaids updates this week for Financial Aid in preparation for their SQL server 2008 upgrade next week.

We now have the Ethnicity survey running on our test server. With the help of the Banner team, we now have all the errors fixed for the conversion script.

Web Registration Changes

I met with the Registrar today about web registration problems from Fall term (we exceeded the number of available time slots). I made some changes to the web registration process so that we have more available time slots. The registration time now starts at 8am (it used to be 8:30) and Graduate students are grouped into the first 8 time slots. That will give us an additional 21 slots to use for Undergraduates.
