PeopleTools 8.56 update
PeopleTools, the PeopleSoft development platform, will be updated June 1-2, 2019. During the update, PeopleSoft and MyU will be down. The update includes new homepages and navigation options. All PeopleSoft users will start receiving messages in May with more information on what to expect, including an overview video and detailed guides on the new features.
June deadline to apply to graduate - graduate and professional students
The June 1 deadline for graduate and professional students to apply to graduate has been extended to Monday, June 3, 2019 due to the planned MyU and PeopleSoft outage between June 1-2. Please note that this change only applies to the month of June, and the following deadlines will continue to be on the first of the month. The change has been made on the One Stop website.
Two new electronic forms for graduate students
A cross-functional project team transitioned several PDF forms used by graduate students to electronic forms using WorkflowGen. They are the Reviewers’ Report and Final Exam forms, replacing the paper versions of the master’s and doctoral Reviewers’ Report forms and the Final Exam form for master’s (Plan A/B) and doctoral students. We have shared this information with graduate program coordinators, college coordinators, and directors of graduate study. New process guides related to the forms are available on the Grad School website under “Examination Procedures.”
As with many electronic forms, there are benefits for students, instructors, and staff. The electronic forms are easier to use and result in faster processing times. For questions about the Reviewers’ Report of Final Exam forms, contact gssp@umn.edu.

FERPA Q&A
Q: Your college wants to post event photos on its website. Is posting these photos permissible under FERPA?
A: Depending on the photos, the college may be able to post them. At the University of Minnesota, photos are not directory information, so students need to grant permission for them to be publicly displayed if they can be identified in the photos. If the photo is a large group photo where faces cannot readily be identified, it may be posted on the website. Otherwise, student permission is required.
