• The following is a list of the gaps U of L had discovered in the PeopleSoft transcript processes:

1. Lacks the ability to select a population of students to receive a transcript.

2. Lacks the ability to track the address where the transcript was sent.

3. Lacks the ability to track payments for a transcript.

4. Lacks the ability to bill a student for a transcript.

5. Lacks the ability to produce mailing labels and easily associate the labels

with the proper transcript.

6. The transcript process prints a degree audit and transfer credit evaluation

• Transcript page numbering restarts by career giving no indications that a student may have multiple pages of a transcript.

• On the transcript, the attempted hours show, but not the attempted hours for the grade. (You would be unable to calculate GPA without this.)

• Test loads for Admissions does not have an option for creating prospects. Also, several data elements, such as phone, is not stored during this process. (ACT, SAT, etc)

• The directory for word/mail merge must be read/write to all users.

• Performance issues with online registration.

• Item types are very tedious to maintain in student financials.

• No cumulative GPA for admissions evaluation of transfer credit.

• The mission information letters Admissions credentials for transcripts does not specify the name of colleges.

• No PIN numbers for security on the WWW.

• Checklists are not automatically updated when tests are loaded.

• Transfer equivalency rules need to be applied by program rather than career.

• Cannot setup refund rule using % into the class meeting dates.

• Pro rata refund does not select Faid only.

• Birth date options to print on transcript does not conform to AACRAO recommendation

• The failure to include hrs attempted for grade on transcript, precludes the reader of the transcript to determine how the GPA was computed.

• PeopleSoft logo on all reports.

• Payment reversal and charge reversal processes are not specified on student account information and there is no item line for reversal. It only specifies a zero amt.

• The write off reversal does not show an itemized amount for the reversal on the summary panels.

• No adequate audit trail on application fee posting (system zeroes out previous posting.)

• Place institution effective date in context block on school_course_class panel.

• Mass change values do not incorporate PS row level security.

• NSLDS and Financial Aid aggregates. Current functionality uses F. aid aggregates rather than NSLDS aggregates. No known date when this will be available (not storing aggregates, but processing; ie, packaging needs to check NSLDS aggregates.) U of L stores and processes using NSLDS aggregates and we do not have historical aggregate info.

• Establishing transfer courses and equivalencies. (New courses/equivs on transcript)

• Necessary mass changes (at least 20) for Financial Aid are not delivered.

• PeopleSoft trainers stated that 7.5 was necessary to successfully implement F. Aid.

• No support for 2 Perkins loans and health profession loans promissory notes.
