All ten MCCCD colleges are required to identify any typical or expected college activities and dates as they pertain to SIS usage during October 2007.   Janet Langley will compile this data, from all the colleges, to be reviewed at an October 3rd, 2006 District CIT meeting.   This data will be used to determine an exact range of dates for which "Go Live" can fall into.  We are expecting a down time of at least 5 business days during "Go Live".   Your input is very important, as it will be used to determine the best possible dates that would lesson the impact of SIS down time on students, staff, faculty, and outside constituency.

Transcript Processing
Admissions and Records
9/27/2006
Student Impact
Students need transcripts sent in a timely manner.  The receipt of transcripts may determine a student's entry into a college or university, or a program at another institution.  This may affect a student's ability to get hired by an employer.  Downtime affects our ability to meet the student requests.

Graduation
Admissions and Records

Student Impact
We post degrees and certificates all the time not just at the end of a semester.  If we don't have access, we can't complete posting.  This could impact students who need to have transcripts sent or employment or other purposes.

High - but no preference
Delay in student grading - any one week would not be much of a preference over any other week.

Pay for instructors
Enrollments for online courses are checked to pay instructors.  It would be best if SIS were down the off week of the payroll audit.

10/1/2007

Severe
We need the daily and hourly enrollment data from the SIS to govern opening new sections for students to enroll in for Flex II.  We need to be able to open and staff faculty into these sections daily as we approach the 10/15 start date of Flex II.

Automated Emails going to students related to accessing RioLearn
SES
10/1/2007
10/31/2007
Student Impact
Programming will need to update information in the welcome letter/registration letters prior to 'go live' for PeopleSoft.  Currently, we list access information (which may change) and course modality etc...  These fields need updated to accommodate the new system.
 
In addition, these can not be sent to students when PeopleSoft is down...so we need to send prior to. 
 
Is it possible to have three weeks in-between starts during this timeframe?

Everything we do in Course Production & Support involves the SQL View data for students and faculty.  This information being unavailable will mean that we have delays for customers if they don't register early.

Data in RioLearn will not be updated
Course Support
10/1/2007
10/31/2007
All

Because no current information will be available during the down-time, RioLearn will not be updated within 24 hour window.

  • Grades importing
  • Address changes
  • Faculty won't know new students in class unless students register early.

45th Day Reporting for Dual Enrollment
Academic Programs
10/1/2007
External - Organizational
45th Day reporting is vital not only for Dual Enrollment, but for all of our credit programs.  This drives the state funding formula.  Although the critical SIS date is 10/1/2007, the week following 45th Day allows for corrections, so access to SIS would be vital.

We need access to SIS to close classes and to adjust faculty load.  Not having access would impact the next payroll.

10/31/2007
Internal - Organizational
Student agreements are sent to IBM and students daily.  Students use student agreement to select courses for enrollment.  Student agreements not submitted in a timely manner will cause student's GoArmyEd/eArmyU accounts to be placed on hold and affect Rio enrollment.

SIS data entry is vital for an accurate payroll audit.  Hundreds of adjunct faculty will be counting on receiving pay for their classes that begin on 10/15.

Flexible start date
Academic Programs
10/29/2007
10/31/2007
Internal - Organizational
This will not be as large a faculty audit as the 10/16 start date, since many sections will require revised contracts, rather than payroll audit.  The impact would be much worse on 10/15-10/17.
