PeopleSoft upgrade notice

The latest bundle upgrade for PeopleSoft v9 was applied to production this past weekend. These regular upgrades allow us to continuously enhance the PeopleSoft student administration system to provide users with the most current functionality available. There are hundreds of various updates made within each of these bundles. Listed below are some of the recent enhancements noticeable to users:

• Test Scores: PeopleSoft now provides the ability to use student test scores during the prerequisite checking for registration. Previously, this checking was available through a customization developed by IT. The bundle has allowed us to eliminate this customization and the necessary maintenance associated with it.

• Faculty Center Tabs: The tabs within the Faculty Center in ZipLine have been redesigned to streamline the way faculty obtain their information.

Faculty Center tabs before the enhancement:

Faculty Center tabs after the enhancement:

• View Names page: Users are now able to see the name type on the View Names page without having to click on the name history link.

If you have any questions regarding these enhancements or any other topics related to PeopleSoft, please feel free to contact the Office of the University Registrar at either ext. 8300 or Registrar@uakron.edu.
