...
Module | Category | Case | Description | Documentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Academic | Enhancement | DEV-1940 | Increased character limit of Course Number field to 12 characters, and increased section field to 5 characters. This will allow significant flexibility on how to define, filter, and list courses. We do however strongly recommend using the “Course Instruction Method” fields for mode of instruction instead of custom sections and there is LMS integration functionality that can be associated with the course instruction method field. | |
Academic | Enhancement | DEV-2138 | Added “Alternative Degree Level” to Enrollment History Detail page for a course, allowing the course to be counted towards two different levels/programs at once. (e.g. Graduate level programs that use cross-listed undergraduate courses to fulfill requirements) Inputting an alternative degree level allows the course to populate on both the Assigned Degree Level transcript and the Alternative Degree Level transcript. The course grade will also calculate into the GPA for both Degree Level Transcripts. It will also calculate into the GPA History Listing page as well for both degree levels. | |
Academic | Enhancement | DEV-1466 | Added Sub-Semester to Enrollment History column options and detail page for clarity. | |
Academic | Enhancement | DEV-1896 | Added new field on Term Status Codes to hide the status from being shown on the transcript if there is no enrollment in the term. | |

Admissions | Enhancement | DEV-2241 | Added IW, YW, AW, PW to available option for Batch Progress Code Update Process. Prospects will not be able to be updated to AW or PW without a valid accept or deposit date. Please Note: Updating progress codes through this manner should be done with care to avoid data corruption. Campus Cafe recommends only using YW, AW, or PW for students that have requested their application to be revoked/withdrawn. Students who are applied, accepted, deposited should in theory remain at those statuses for proper yield reporting (e.g. Inquiry to applicant, applicant to accepted, accepted to deposited). | |
Financial Aid | Enhancement | DEV-2212 DEV-2097 | Updated F/A Transaction Listing page now allows for splitting a manually added award into multiple disbursements upon creation, cutting down creation time for manual packaging. This also allows a user to also to define different academic years upon creation as well. | |

Student Financials | Change | DEV-1884 | Validation around Process Type = T to only allow Per Credit or Per Course flag to be set and billed. A flat fee cannot be used for this Process Type.  User editing a type = T charge with a non-zero amount and no Per Credit or Per Course flag set will receive an update validation exception popup and block the save. | |

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. | |

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. | |
Academic | Bug | DEV-1417 | Fixed an issue on the Course Rosters where “Seats Used” data field was not respecting the Column Visibility selection. | |

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. | |
Admissions | Bug | DEV-2143 | Fixed a bug where users were unable to remove constraint fields for the admissions triggers in the form field configurations | |
Admissions | Bug | DEV-1423 | Prevented an issue where a student would double click the submission of an admissions form and it would trigger incorrect SSO provisioning. | |

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 | |
Financial Aid | Change | DEV-2141 | Alphabetized the dropdown selections for Custom Named Term and Cost of Attendance Rules on the F/A Packaging page | |

Financial Aid | Change | DEV-2044 | Updated Financial Aid packaging page UI look and feel and made grid more user friendly when scrolling. | |
Financial Aid | Bug | DEV-1910 | Pell Enrollment Intensity Packaging has been adjusted to properly look at enrollments in subsequent enrolled terms. Prior, the packaging was looking at only the first enrolled term for the packaged Term Rules and copied the intensity calculation for all other terms in the Rule. 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. | |
Financial Aid | Bug | DEV-2149 | Fixed an issue where sometimes Prior ISIR’s comment codes that were resolved/removed from a subsequent ISIR were still showing up on the new subsequent ISIR. | |

Financial Aid | Bug | DEV-2092 | Fixed an issue where after bringing in a list of students to the F/A Packaging page from the Student Finder, after making an edit or running a process, the packaging page would pull in all students and all packaging records instead of filtering just to the students filtered from the student finder. | |
