The project team is currently completing Quality Assurance (QA) testing for configuration and data integrations into the Coursedog curriculum and catalog products. While their QA testing is almost complete, the team encountered more issues than initially expected. As a result, they’ll need more time to resolve the issues, and the go-live date will need to be adjusted. Coursedog will now go live at the end of August 2023 (originally June 2023).
The team’s primary goal is to ensure that the Coursedog product is of the highest possible quality for University staff at go-live. The additional 8 weeks of time will allow the team to deliver a best-quality product for users participating in User Acceptance Testing in May 2023. This will result in a better product at launch in August. Over the next week, communications regarding this change will be sent to current ECAS & PCAS users and additional stakeholders.

Updated Enrollment Appointments course released
Work continues on refreshing the Student Data Update Add-on training courses. An updated version of the Enrollment Appointments course was released mid-February. Only new users who need to add or update enrollment appointments are required to take this course.
FERPA Q&A
Q: Will there be any training regarding the best way to contact students who have been suspended or on leave of absence and their U of M email is canceled? We can't use their personal email to share personal information. This could be challenging when we are trying to assist suspended or leave of absence students with coming back to school.
A: The first group of students impacted by the discontinuation of ‘email for life’ will be students earning a degree in spring 2023. Currently, there are no changes planned for suspended students or those that are on a leave of absence. As of now, you can still contact them through their U of M email address. As we learn more about the upcoming technology changes regarding ‘email for life,’ we will provide information on how to best communicate with students in a FERPA-compliant manner.
