uAchieve upgrade project

A project to move the University’s on-premises uAchieve (aka APAS) installation to the cloud was kicked off. This project will also include an upgrade to the newest version of uAchieve. The project is still in early stages and a timeline hasn’t been finalized yet, but launch is expected to be in spring 2026. Updates will be shared in the APAS User Group, in the Record, and at Registrar’s Advisory Committee meetings. 

FERPA Q&A

Q: Is it a FERPA violation to have an open office door while meeting with a student who is asking questions about their academics? 

A: Individuals who are having sensitive conversations or discussing specifics of a student's record/academics/etc. should make every effort to ensure that the conversation is private to avoid unintentionally sharing personally identifiable information (PII) data with anyone other than the student.
