Information Technology updates (November 2018)

ASR-IT BAs
Student financial business analysts are working on spring 2019 tuition setup. Each campus has set the dates for doing their setup verification and starting the calculations.

All BAs who support Campus Solutions tested the latest Critical Patch update (November 11 production date). This was regression testing to ensure that the security patches didnot negatively impact our production system.

PeopleSoft Campus Solutions Image 11 has been released and BAs will be testing this over the next month with a migration to production on December 16, 2018. This release contains Financial Aid Regulatory Release 2 and 1098-T updates.

Destiny One Registration System
The latest version of Destiny One software, v5.7, was delivered to the Test instance on 11/7/2018. Pending successful validation of fixes and new functionality, the software will be delivered to the Production instance late November. New functionality in this release, related to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), includes the ability to forget an individual and new consent features.

Functional testing of the Destiny One-Salesforce integration is almost complete, with plans to go live in Production by late November.

Custom Solutions
The Custom Solutions team has begun testing the integration between TADA and student degree progress applications. Work continues on the new version of the student athlete certification tool for UMNTC student athletes.

Student Data and Analytics
Students' program and plan data by term as well as their class enrollment status by term are being designed to be built into UM Analytics for all system campuses. This will allow users to easily count and look at trends of students and their associated program/plans by term.

Retention risk code and models are being tested against additional system campus data. Data workflows are being updated to get closer to being able to run this analysis in one term predicting if students will return for the next term.
