After the Upgrade: When do I register for classes?

When The Upgrade goes live in spring semester, one of the first process changes students will notice is how they find out their registration time (a.k.a. registration queue time). Currently, students go to the One Stop website and use an interactive tool that provides personal enrollment timing information based on their student record. After Go Live, it will simply be part of the Academics tab in MyU!

Student Degree Progress update

ASR continues to reach out to colleges in its final push to find students eligible to graduate in our efforts to help the institution reach its 4-, 5-, and 6-year graduation rate goals. The snap of the graduation rates will happen Thursday, October 30.

Registration queue time emails

Spring 2015 registration queue time emails will be sent to students the week of October 27. The spring 2015 registration time table can be found on the One Stop website.

As a reminder, spring 2015 registration begins Tuesday, November 11 for students admitted to degree and certificate programs. Open registration begins Friday, December 5.

Note: Due to the PeopleSoft upgrade, starting with fall 2015 registration, students will receive this information differently. More information can be found on The Upgrade blog.

What rights do students have under FERPA?

Currently enrolled or formerly enrolled students have the following rights under FERPA:

• the right to inspect and review information about them maintained by the institution (there are two exceptions to this: parents financial records and letters of recommendation the student has waived the rights to see);


• the right to request an amendment to the record that the student believes is inaccurate or misleading (this does not provide them the right to request an amendment to a grade or an institutional judgement that they disagree with);


• the right to file a complaint with the Family Policy Compliance office within the Department of Education if they believe that the institution has provided information to third parties without consent or denied them access to their own information.

Office of Classroom Management receives recognition from Disability Resources

The Disability Resource Center will be honoring OCM with a 2014 Access Achievement Award. The award celebrates OCM staff who go above and beyond to make the University accessible to students, faculty and staff.

Upgrade Training Preview Sessions wrap up

The Training Team's Upgrade Training Preview Sessions, held at all five campuses, will wrap up at the end of October. The sessions were well attended and we appreciate the great turnout, questions, and feedback. In November we will post an online Upgrade Training Preview Session recap for those who were unable to attend in person. We are compiling the questions that came out of the sessions and will post frequently asked questions, with answers, as well. Details on where to find the recap and the FAQs will be communicated once posted.

ImageNow upgrade

On November 7-9, Collaboration & Web Content Services will upgrade ImageNow to version 6.7. While changes to the user experience will be minimal, it is necessary to upgrade in order to maintain technical support from the vendor. In addition, based on vendor recommendations, the ImageNow infrastructure will be enhanced to conform more closely with industry standards.

The upgrade activities will require down time for the tool. To minimize disruption to University business, the majority of the work will occur over the weekend of Nov 7-9:

Status updates will be provided during the upgrade via IT Service Status. Additional details about the upgrade will be sent to ImageNow users in the near future.

If you have questions about the upgrade or ImageNow, send a message to imagenow-support@umn.edu.
