Class Schedule Project Update ACNS and Registrar’s Office staff

The Issue Application works extremely well with one exception… When using Safari Registration works the first time, subsequent submissions for registration log the user out Cookie management/access issue Firefox development roadmap includes same cookie management strategy; problem will get larger over time In April of 2014, 1/4 of logins into RAMweb come through Safari 4/21/2014 UTFAB Presentation

Options Going Forward #1 - Move forward with full release of application, including registration Could notify safari users upon login and warn them of the issue (new development effort) Could divert safari users to existing system (new development effort) Inconsistent experience for students Legacy class schedule will have to be kept in operation Navigation confusion with two systems in production (new development effort) ‘Return’ function from registration Releasing software with known defect and no fix Implementation costs Final deployment and testing Ongoing support (updates, bug fixes) Absorbed by ACNS/RO staff Target Sept 2014 for Spring 2015 registration in October 4/21/2014 UTFAB Presentation

Options (cont’) #2 - Launch as standalone ‘class planning’ service without registration functionality New class schedule search interface and wishlist (new development effort) Students will need to transfer course information into legacy registration system Works with all browsers Navigation confusion with two systems in production (new development effort) ‘Return’ function from registration Implementation costs and timing Similar to #1, but somewhat less because of no registration component #3 - Hit the ‘pause’ button in favor of Banner XE vendor-delivered application 12-18 months out Direct resources toward future as window of opportunity narrows Implementation costs None for now, weaved into later overall XE deployment 4/21/2014 UTFAB Presentation
