As of now students will continue enrollment the way they have through the STAR system, the touchtone system or in this office. |
The reason UM [University of Missouri] chose PeopleSoft is because we have a 35-year-old system. Over time technology has drastically changed. It has become harder to maintain, and in a couple of years, the old Legacy system will not be supported anymore. By this I mean that the original designers will not be providing any more updates, patches or fixes. |
The University of Kansas and the California State system have already gone to PeopleSoft. Universities across the country are going through this transition. |
This is not a situation where you can just flip on a switch. This is a very comprehensive process and takes a lot of set up to get everything running correctly. There have been no problems at this time. |
We will be going out to each academic unit to talk about implementation in order to keep them informed throughout the process. No one will be left in the dark. |
