with multiple ID’s
Anybody who has mutiple IDs (ie. an Employee ID and a Student ID) may have their personal infomation out of sync between
their two IDs. Currently self service is available from both the student and the HR components. It is not apparent that when an
individual updates their address under one ID, that they are not automatically updating the other ID. This has caused a
few issues where the employee has updated their personal information under their Student ID but not their Employee ID
resulting in critical communications being sent to the wrong address.
There is currently a linking mechanism using the alternate ID field within the Employee record. An investigation is required to
determine whether we can build a process to automatically syncronize the personal information based on an update
from either ID.

DataWarehouse.4594 Student Graduate Studies FGS_Prorate General Fees for Graduate
Students_Analysis
Currently, Graduate Students are assessed their General fees once a year on their registration anniversary. This causes a lot
of manual adjustments to prorate the students’ general fees when they go on a Leave of Absence, when they withdrawal from
the program or when they complete their program during the registration year4751 Student Graduate Studies Donor Data Integration_Analysis Due to this Business Process transition to another campus unit, it is imperative that a technical solution be provided within the
current Student Centre for students to easily and electronically create a personalized “Thank You” letter. 4756 Student Graduate Studies FGS_On-Line Submission of Annual Progress
Reports_Analysis
We would like to develop a secure system that would allow Annual Progress Reports to be completed on-line and submitted
electronically, rather then having to manually collect and scan 3000+ reports to the student's file in EDMS. Once submitted, the
system would automatically update the checklist in PS to show it has been received. Also, we would like to develop a report
that would identify the names of all the students who have received an unsatisfactory overall rating.

Identify Students Repeating Courses at
Registration_Analysis
Academic review: students who are repeating courses need to be identified early (at registration), rather than after grades are
submitted (i.e., after deferred exams). 4902 Student Financial Services FS_T2202A Modifications_Analysis Streamline the T2202A process and reduce redundant work. The current T2202A process does not meet all of the business
needs. It results in redundant work.4971 Student Enrolment Services Changes to the Undergrad Web Application
Process_Long-term Fix Analysis
1) Students apply for admission to undergraduate programs with a Fall intake by completing the on-line application for
admission by the deadline of April 1. They often pay the appropriate fee amount on-line. The data is uploaded to the Student
Administrative System creating the student file and appropriate processing is automatically initiated (e.g. email
correspondence, early admission consideration, requesting of appropriate letter/paper communication, payment processed
and recorded). Applications which need manual review are placed on alert list.
2) Change Default Document Deadline Dates on Student Centre
The deadline date feature in the new system has created additional manual work for staff.
The Student Centre does not reflect the approved document deadline dates: (a) April 15th for the Faculty of Education
applicants. Instead the deadline defaults to June 30th. (b) April 1 for off-shore international applicants. Instead the deadlines
of all applicants (including Canadian citizens and permanent residents) with international credentials defaults to April 1.

Issue ID IT Owner Team Client Title Description4648 WIS Replace MQSeries with ActiveMQ At present MQSeries is used in a couple of scenarios:
- RPC from IDCore to Peoplesoft
- Asynch messaging from Application for Admission to Peoplesoft
MQSeries is running on obsolete hardware and is poorly understood.
Apache ActiveMQ is an open source product that provides similar functionality to MQSeries. It runs everywhere and conforms
to modern standards (e.g. JMS, STOMP). It provides a base for other "Enterprise Service Bus" technologies such as
ServiceMix.4927 WIS Information Technologies (IT) ASC - Storage Management Utility There are currently 7 servers being used to provide windows shares and a variety of groups involved in provisioning these
services It is planned to replace these 7 systems with 2 new NAS filers providing CIFS. It is hoped that a utility can be written
to reduce the manual effort involved in provisioning.
