Module | Category | Case | Description | Documentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Academic | Enhancement | DEV-2276 | Added Batch Updating of Class Levels to student finder actions with Permission #1281. For institutions not using the automatic GPA Line Code/Class Level update function, academic administrators can now update Student Codes Class Level (current level), Student Codes Assumed Class Level in a batch. Administrators can also update the historical “Session Data” record Class Level and Assumed Class level fields for a specific Session Data Term/Semester within the same process. | |
Academic | Enhancement | DEV-2266 | Added course schedule list view to the calendar class schedule page to now show the asynchronous/online style courses that do not have scheduled days/time/location. To show this list, Custom Control “SCHEDSTYLE” Sequence 1, Parameter 1 must be set to CAL and Sequence 1, Parameter 2 must be set to Y. | |
Academic | Enhancement | DEV-2192 | FVT/GE Program level related fields for CTP, Prison Education, Qualified Graduate, Accreditation, and Campus Licensing Prep fields have been added to the Major/Program Maintenance detail page. FVT/GE Student level Licensure Exam Date and Licensure Exam Passed fields have been added to the Student Degree Record page. Reports including these fields will come soon. | |
Academic | Enhancement | DEV-2117 | To allow LDA/Last Participation date from either Canvas or CourseKey to be imported in for Asynchronous courses but leaving the manual attendance functionality active for synchronous courses, a newly created Custom Control LDA_INSTRUCTION_METHODS has been added to include certain course instruction methods to import LDA dates and exclude non-listed instruction methods from the import. An administrator may input multiple instruction method codes in a comma separated format that they wish for the LMS integration to import LDA for. Leaving the control blank will not import LDA dates by default. Also included in this update, there is an overnight process that will copy the LDA from the Student Attendance Data (ATSENT) to Student Enrollment Data (RGENRL.LAST_ATTEND_DATE) for the courses with the instruction methods defined in the Custom Control; which allows for the attendance being taken in either an asynchronous automatically or synchronous manner manually through the course roster to appear in the student finder and other reports. Importing of Canvas or CourseKey Participation/attendance grades must be turned on for this to take effect. Added Permission 1278 when set to NA to prevent a user from entering attendance for students after their enrollments' Last Date Attended. Removing NA will allow a user to enter/change attendance after and LDA is entered or automatically imported from an LMS integration. | |

Student Financials | Bug | DEV-2305 | Fixed an issue where if a user tries to save a degree page and receives and error due to an incorrect field value, the Billing Override Date field was auto filled without the users knowledge. If the user then saved the degree record for a student it could then cause the student to be billed incorrectly with certain configurations or reports to pull incorrectly when filtering on that field. | |
System/UI | Enhancement | DEV-2282 | On People Finders, when selecting a saved filter to query, the page will only show the filters that are being used in the saved filter, so it clarifies to the user which filter values are being used to query the students for that saved filter. | |
System/UI | Enhancement | DEV-2224 | Added the “Apply Fields” functionality to save the shown filters to the “Submit” button on the Student and People finders to improve efficiency of workflow on the page.

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. | |

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.

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.

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.

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. | |

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. | |
