Module | Category | Case | Description | Documentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Academic | Enhancement | DEV-2078 | SAP Update: New Filter options for Cumulative and Single Semester “earned/completion percentages” have been added. New data fields have also been added. Previously and institution would need to pull the SAP Base report or calculate with an excel formula to return the SAP completion percentage. This has now been added into the student finder so institutions can more easily apply SAP Holds/Statuses to students without the need of pulling multiple reports. | |
Academic | Enhancements | DEV-1803 | When navigating to the GPA History Listing page the GPA Processor will now run in the background for that specific student automatically, so users do not have to wait for the GPA Processor to run fully for all students when needing to make an individual adjustment to a student’s grade. | |
Academic | Enhancements | DEV-2174 | Added Major Code to Session Data Records (HOHIST). This allows for historical record of what the active major was for a particular term/session. The Group Billing process will also now look at this field first for a term if the billing rules are set up to bill by Major. If the major field is blank, then the billing rules will revert back to using the “Current” degree record for billing purposes. | |
Academic | Change | DEV-1936 | Relabeled “Reg. Control” to “Reg. System Control” and “Registration Control” to “Registration Semester Control” for clarity of their functionality. The link will also respond accordingly to Custom Control LABEL_SEMESTER to relabel “Semester”. | |

Academic | Bug | DEV-2132 | New custom control FA950AC 5-1 “FULL TIME COURSE - CLEARINGHOUSE LOGIC. USE PARAMS 1-10”. This control allows an institution to input specific Course Numbers of enrolled students who will automatically mark the student as “Full Time” if they enroll in any defined courses. This is for graduate and doctorate programs that enroll in externships or ongoing research/thesis courses that cover multiple terms, and they need to be marked as full time even though the enrolled course credit hours for the term do not match the full-time threshold. | |

Accounts Payable | Enhancement | DEV-1934 | Added function to update a student’s linked Vendor mailing address (for check payments) when the address is changed for the student. In order to turn this functionality on a new Custom Control/MSPARM AP_ADDRESS_STU_VEND 1-1 needs to be filled out with either HOM, LOC, or BIL address type. HOM - Will update the address when the Home Address is updated for the student. LOC - Updates when Local Address is updated for the student. BIL - Updates when the Billing address is updated for the student. blank - if the Control is left blank, no automatic syncing of addresses will be completed. | |
Admissions | Change | DEV-1781 | Changed how the additional options for SSN being marked as a required field or not based on if a student chooses U.S. Citizenship or International student to work with custom naming descriptions for that field. Before it was hard coded to the exact description of the SBUSCD STPARM; but it is now coded to the Parameter values: A (for Non-Resident/Alien), R (Resident), Y (US Citizen). You can now change these descriptions without affecting the functionality on the applications. | |

The individual student Counseling/MPN page still allows for manually creating those records. | |
Financial Aid | Enhancement | DEV-2102 | New FTI data fields from the ISIR have been added to the F/A Packaging data grid. Since the student’s ability to self-report income, exemptions, and dependents is optional on the FAFSA; we have now added the IRS’s FTI fields since many of these fields are now left blank by the student. The fields added: Student FTI AGI Student FTI Exemptions Student FTI Dependents Parent FTI AGI Parent FTI Exemptions Parent FTI Dependents | |

This process will now calculate each term individually if the student is enrolled in the terms listed in the rule. This is mainly an issue for institutions with a summer header term that is part time, while the student is also enrolled full time for the fall term. | |
