Mid-term grade rosters are currently available in Faculty Center for spring 2018 regular session classes.
Twin Cities, Crookston, Morris, and Rochester instructors of 1xxx-level courses are required by the Providing In-progress Notifications on Academic Performance policy to provide mid-term notifications to students who, based on performance in the course thus far, appear to be in danger of receiving a grade of D, F, or N. This notice must be provided to students in time to allow them to improve their academic performance or to withdraw by the withdrawal deadline.
Instructors who have questions may be referred to the How to enter mid-term grades guide, the In-Progress Notifications FAQ, or may email the ASR Training & Support team at srhelp@umn.edu.

Duplicate ID tool and process enhancements
Part of the PeopleSoft Campus Solutions 9.2 upgrade, the Duplicate ID tool had enhancements added on January 28, 2018 that allow functional users to more easily manage cases, track case history, and provide transparency to University staff about duplicate ID case resolutions. For example, Person Comments on related records will now be added automatically when a case is complete. Additional work is still under development to further create efficiencies. Email communications that notify students and staff once a case is opened and when it is resolved are planned to roll out in March.
Preferred name - class permission numbers and waitlist management
A student’s preferred name (instead of legal/primary name) is now being used for class permission numbers and waitlist management. Students and staff may indicate a preferred name through the My Info tab of MyU. Indicating a preferred name is optional. This functionality was implemented as part of the University’s PeopleSoft 9.2 upgrade.

Registration training available online
We are excited to announce that SR310T Registration training for staff who register students is now available online! Employees can complete the new online registration course when it is convenient for their schedule instead of attending an in-person training class.
The SR310T Registration course can be accessed from the ASR training website, under Student Records Training. The course can also be accessed by searching for it in ULearn. The Access Request form and process remains the same as before.

Auto-enroll from waitlist reminders
Auto-enroll from waitlist stops running for each term/session on a date specified per campus. For the spring 2018 regular session, the last waitlist run for the Twin Cities campus was late evening, January 16, 2018. Staff from system campuses are encouraged to check with their Office of the Registrar to confirm campus-specific dates.
Following the last run, those classes which still have waitlists will typically have an Enrollment Status of “Closed”. A common question is, how do you fill any seats that may subsequently open due to enrolled students dropping the class? You have two options to consider, and each department can decide which option is best for their situation:
Option 1
Give students a permission number to override a closed class using the Closed Class checkbox on the Class Permissions page. This option allows you to give permission to waitlisted students, when appropriate. To assist in determining which students to provide permission, the waitlist will be available for your reference until the end of drop/add period.
Option 2
On the Enrollment Control tab, uncheck the Auto Enroll from Wait List checkbox, which changes the Enrollment Status to “Open” and allows any student to register for the remaining seat(s) up until instructor approval is required.

Permission number expiration reminder
Permission numbers expire and are deleted at the end of the term/session’s add and drop period. After this time, unused permission numbers will no longer permit students’ enrollment.
Earlier summer 2018 registration
For summer 2018 registration in the Twin Cities, degree-seeking students will be able to register on March 1, 2018. Open registration for non-degree and visiting students starts a week later on March 8. Staff from system campuses are encouraged to check with their Office of the Registrar to confirm campus-specific dates.
Earlier registration before spring break extends the regular registration period one and half months, which gives students more time to plan and spreads out appointment times for advisors. The change could help increase classroom utilization and enrollment during the summer term. In turn, a higher enrollment rate during summer may help students with timely degree progress.
