Astra Schedule Events Training for Student Workers
The process regarding how student workers can be trained on Astra Schedule Event has changed to allow for supervisors to provide this training to student workers on the job. While we still welcome and encourage student workers to attend ASR's Astra training when possible, supervisors may provide Astra training to their student workers upon request.
Per the normal procedure, supervisors who choose to provide Astra training must have student workers complete the Astra Access Request form. The supervisor should then email ASR at ocmsoftwarehelp@umn.edu to request to provide supervisor-led training to the student worker. In turn, we will provide the supervisor with a training guide and record the supervisor's reported training of the student worker in our database. Current student workers with Astra Schedule access are not affected by this change.
As a related reminder, please notify ASR at ocmsoftwarehelp@umn.edu if a student worker with scheduling access in Astra leaves his or her position, so that we can deactivate their access to schedule departmental rooms.

Don't forget to clear your search
Use the Clear button on the search page in between looking at different records in PeopleSoft. The Clear button removes all of the search criteria, even the easy to miss things like a single digit (think career number in Program Plan). Not clearing all of the search criteria could inhibit your complete view of subsequent records.
Sneak Peek: Two Self-Service Centers in PeopleSoft 9.0
Two "sneak peek" videos on the new Faculty Center and Advisor Center are now available. The videos provide an overview on how these centers will benefit users. The ESUP Student Training Team will be developing more in-depth tutorials and documentation of this new functionality before ESUP goes live.
Batch process dates for summer and fall posted
Dates for the summer 2014 and fall 2014 processing of various batch jobs (e.g., term activation, permission numbers, and extract for student appointments) are now posted at the Academic Support Resources Training web page.
