Semester Conversion Office - Weekly Update
INFO
•
The final Open Information Session with the Registrar, of interest to faculty, advisors and others who
want to know more about the look and feel of course information in the new SIS will be offered to the
campus community:
October 4, 2011
10:00 am – 11:00 am
Campus Center, Bamboo Room
•
Course catalog and the schedule of classes for fall 2012 scheduling are the first go-live features of the
new SIS project. Academic “Scheduling Officers” are the most important group of users for this go-live.
They each bring a critical wealth of knowledge about their own RIT colleges, and because of their
scope, many have also played a most important role coordinating their college’s program
documentation for Semester Conversion. For the new SIS, “Scheduling Officers” have participated in
over fifty-hours of training spread over the last four months and have been very involved with process
redesign and documentation. In addition, last week and this week, these pioneering users are key
participants in the new SIS user acceptance testing, the final phase to ensure launch readiness. These
remarkable “Scheduling Officers” are: Michele Allis, KGCOE; Linda Chamot, SCB; Dugan Davies,
Student Affairs; Heidi Davis, COLA; Karen Ester, KGCOE; Ann Gottorff, COS; Trish Herkimer, Office of
the Registrar; Linda L Kenville-Hill, COLA; Teresa A Merritt, CIAS; Joanne Roets, GCCIS; Rhonda Jo Sliker,
NTID; Michelle Weterrings, CAST; and Elizabeth White, CMS. The training and testing has been led by
Doug Hausner, Sr. Associate Registrar.
