1. Class Schedule Project Update
ACNS and Registrar’s Office staff

2. 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

3. 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. 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
