Business analysts who support Campus Solutions are currently testing for the PeopleTools 8.56 project that will go live in spring 2019. The date is yet to be finalized.
Address Cleaner
The Campus Community/Shared Data team is working with HR to move an upgraded version of the Address Cleaner to production at the end of January. The parent/guest access team is also working with OIT to identify users who will need to be notified of the new password rules that staff and students received starting in November. No date has been set for the notices but we are asking that this notice waits until first three spring due dates are passed for each campus.
1098-T
Student Financials are working on 1098-T processing for the 2018 tax year. For most students and their parent/guest, the electronic form will be available after all of the steps for processing are completed (estimated to be around 1/25/19 but must be done by 1/31/19). The paper forms are scheduled for printing late in the week of 1/21/19 so they will be received the week of 1/28/19.

DORS v5.7
The latest version of Destiny One Registration System software v5.7 was delivered to the production instance on 12/2/2018, after successful validation of fixes and new functionality. New functionality in this release related to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) includes the ability to forget an individual and new consent features.
TADA and student athletes
The Custom Solutions team began 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. They successfully integrated the Student Degree Progress and Student Athlete Certification applications with TADA.
Program/plan and class enrollment data
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
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.
U of M Day of Data recap
The U of M Day of Data 2019 was held on Friday, January 11. The event was all about learning and sharing new data skills and connecting with data enthusiasts across the University. The event was attended by 47 students, 83 instructors and staff, and 30 online participants. The schedule featured 15 different sessions, on topics ranging from Tableau and Qualtrics tips, acting out an artificial neural network, making online maps with geographic data, and exploring data management and decision-making in various contexts around the University community. The event was made possible by the efforts of over 30 volunteer session leaders and facilitators. Special thanks go out to several colleagues from Rochester and Duluth who presented sessions at the Day of Data. For more information, visit z.umn.edu/dayofdata.
