Semester Conversion Office - Weekly Update
INFO
•
Facilitated by the Associate Deans, the Assistant Vice President and Registrar, Joe Loffredo will attend
individual meetings in the nine RIT Colleges, as well as CMS and Student Affairs during the first two
weeks of October. The GeneSIS project and the Semester Conversion project will reach a convergence
point as recently redesigned course records are loaded into the new Student Information System (SIS)
as part of the GeneSIS project Go Live 1. Although the legacy SIS system will still be in use by the
campus, academic scheduling officers have been working closely with the Registrar’s office to load in
excess of 3,000 semester and quarter based courses. To ensure appropriate transparency and
informative preparation for the changes to come, Joe’s meetings will offer administrators, faculty, staff
and advisors in the colleges the opportunity to learn more about course changes, code changes, the
Sem Con database project [created by Software Engineering students to ingest Semester Conversion
Course Outline Forms, SIS Academic Structure, the Fall 2012 course schedule and an initiative for
creating scheduling info for the Fall 2013 course schedule.
For others who are also interested in this information as well as for faculty and advisors who cannot
attend the special In College Communication meetings, there are also two Open Information Sessions
being offered to the campus community:
o

10:00 am - 11:00 am
