Audience - Who Should Attend?


Primary Audience
School Registrars & Staff w/ Scheduling Responsibilities
A major component of the Release 1 deployment involves Curriculum Manager (CM) Retrofit and CourseLeaf Section Scheduler (CLSS). As a result, we recommend the Spring 2021 Information Session to School Registrars and any school, division, or departmental staff responsible for scheduling classes.

 

Secondary Audience
Administrative Staff

We encourage administrative staff and those who are not directly impacted by Release 1 to attend the session to understand how Release 1 will be foundational for the success of Release 2.

Advisors, faculty, those with financial aid-related roles, and students will be impacted more by Release 2. A Release 2 Information Session will be available in Fall 2021. For more information on Release 2, please visit this page.
