Information Technology (IT) updates (September 2017)

Supplemental Class Search tool is retiring
The Supplemental Class Search will no longer be available as of September 23, 2017. The supplemental class search was built as a temporary solution for advisors and staff following the PeopleSoft upgrade in 2015.

Since then, new class search functionality has been added to Schedule Builder to replace the temporary solution. You may also continue to use the MyU/PeopleSoft delivered Class Search or other tools developed by colleges.

Feel free to provide feedback on the Schedule Builder Class Search via the comment form.

Student course enrollment data in UM Analytics—New!
Course enrollment data is available in the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) and is accessible via UM Analytics. Enterprise reports are now available to review enrollment trends and statistics.

In addition, users can write ad-hoc course enrollment analyses. More than 30 users have been identified and have access to the course enrollment data for a “soft launch” period, which will occur during fall 2017. During this time these lead users will use the delivered reports and data then provide feedback on whether they think it is ready for their campus, college, or administrative unit to use. These leader users will also help identify the other people who should have access in their area and what type of access they should have (report consumer or report author).

Custom Solutions
The Custom Solutions team is working with the Destiny One and SalesForce teams to build a data pipeline that will immediately display Destiny One activity in SalesForce. Destiny One clients such as Academic Health, Continuing Education, and others will use this for better interactions with their students. The team has just completed a proof-of-concept for project prioritization.

Destiny One
The Destiny One team has kicked off the integration effort with the Canvas team. The present deliverable includes a fit gap analysis of the web services available through Destiny and Canvas to deliver the capability to provision/add a student in canvas, enroll into a class, drop (as applicable), and return grades.
