Implementation Update

At the Senate meeting on October 5, 2012, an announcement was made that the planned Phase II development and implementation of the Percentage Grading Project is planned to begin in 2014. This project will include the integration of university systems with other administrative systems to support necessary changes including reporting grades on the official transcript and academic record. The project will be the second most extensive system development that has been undertaken at the University; with the transition to Banner being the largest. Currently, an 18 month development plan has been estimated because the changes required will be extensive and will impact many systems and processes including curriculum, calendar, grading, tuition fee accounting, degree audit, transcript, reports and academic records. The decision to adjust the commencement of Phase II is based on the need to tackle a growing number of priority initiatives that have been scheduled and will provide immediate improvements to service and operational processes for the benefit of students and the campus.
