Last Day for Fall Registration Drop/Add Production Change Freeze

Date: Friday, September 04, 2009

University students, faculty, and staff have high expectations of availability, response time, and stability when using the University's Integrated Administrative Systems. Any change to a system or process increases the risk that those expectations cannot be met. Therefore, we have adopted a "change freeze" policy that we will implement during critical periods for designated processes. The policy prevents the implementation of any change to a critical process and related services as well as implementation of new processes during a specific time frame.

The Fall Registration Drop/Add process is designated as a critical period. Administrative Information Services will not process changes to any production applications except for BSR, EIS, eSteward, and the Imaging systems nor will new applications be implemented. Please note that this includes firewall changes.

The "change freeze" period for Fall Registration Drop/Add is:

August 20, 2009 thru and including September 4, 2009

If a system failure dictates that you make an operational critical update to your system or application or need assistance in planning for the freeze, please contact Clyde LeFevre at 865-2302 or Steve Strickler at 863-3966.
