Registration times available
Depending on your campus, registration for summer 2017 and fall 2017 is underway or beginning soon. Students can find their specific registration time by logging into MyU and selecting the Academics tab, then the Registration sub-tab. Twin Cities students will see their registration times there starting March 24. The registration appointment time table is also available on the One Stop website.
Update classes before registration begins
Collaborative Class Scheduling (CCS) users should make sure classes offered for summer 2017 and fall 2017 have correct dates/times, grade basis, and credit values entered prior to registration beginning.
On the Twin Cities’ campus, registration for summer begins April 11. CCS is currently open for summer 2017 and available for schedulers to make updates. Registration for fall begins April 13. CCS will reopen for emergent changes on April 1. Other system campus staff may check with their Registrar’s office for details.

Updates regarding ARFs
The Provisioning and Access Request (PAR) group continues to work on new ServiceNow catalog request items to make the process of submitting Access Request Forms (ARFs) easier. The request items replace the need to attach a PDF to an ARF. Visit OIT’s Enterprise Access Requests self-help page to view the forms that are currently supported.
Recent forms to note are CS Student Systems and Data (CS PeopleSoft), which is used to request access following the completion of student data inquiry training, student data update training, etc., and Change of Employment (COES). COES is used to report when one of your employees has a change, such as termination of employment, which affects their access.

Delete unwanted ECAS proposals
ECAS currently has over 700 unsubmitted course proposals at the departmental level. This number suggests that editors may have created some proposals inadvertently, due to ECAS auto-save functionality, without having the intention to complete and submit them. (As a reminder, once an editor clicks Submit/Continue on the ECAS Course Set Up page, a proposal row is immediately created.)
To all ECAS editors, please review your department’s current list of ECAS proposals and delete any proposals that are not needed. You can find your list of proposals by clicking on the departmental link, under the approvals section in ECAS.

Changes to UM Manage Wait List Position
Effective January 29, 2017, the following improvements were made to the UM Manage Wait List Position page:
- Search results only display classes with students on the wait list.

- The UM Manage Wait List Positions page displays the enrollment capacity and enrollment total in the Class Info area.
Gain efficiency by setting up a blank filter in Astra
In the course of using Astra, sometimes as a scheduler you have to apply many filter criteria to your Events list or Academic Section list. It can take a lot of clicks to remove each criterion later, when they are no longer needed.
To gain efficiency, you can quickly remove your existing filter criteria by setting up and saving a “blank” filter. To set one up, simply delete all existing criteria, click search, and then click the save button. Next time you want to remove all existing criteria just select your “blank” filter and click search.
