Attention - Changes to the Registrars Workshop


The order of the test cases for the Registrars Workshop scheduled for Monday and Tuesday of next week will be adjusted to accommodate technical problems discovered this week with two features in Anthology Student which heavily impact registration and degree audits.


  1. Registration Rules: This feature is used to create course requisites and registration relationships to configure registration/cross-registration rules. These rules are not functioning at this time, therefore registration cannot be completed on the portal to test cross-registration customizations.
  2. Elective Pools: This feature is used to create pools of elective courses for programs and areas of study. These pools are not populating based on configured rules. therefore degree progress audits cannot run correctly.


The Ellucian team is working on restoring the functionality of these two features, but currently they do not have a timeframe when we can expect a resolution.


To ensure we make the best use of testers time for the Registrars Workshop scheduled on Monday and Tuesday, October 19 and 20, the Ellucian team and Elizabeth Morgan are reorganizing test cases to postpone those that cannot be completed at this time to a later date. Please be aware that we may need to make additional adjustments to our plans as the workshop progresses if the status of functionality for necessary features changes.


We thank all the testers in advance for your flexibility in accommodating this unexpected change in our plans. We will provide an update on the resolution of these technical issues when we have more information.
