ISSUE: The Degree Progress Card is Displaying Former Student Data
Original Post Date: March 27, 2017 - Revised 4/4/2017
Description: If you were a former student at UC Berkeley between 1995 and 2016 you will be able to view the Degree Progress Card and Committee Card under my "My Academics" in CalCentral. These cards will display your qualifying examination, and/or advancement to candidacy, and filing dates. This display is in error. This information will be removed in our next GoLive.
The original design for “My Academics” is to surface only information pertinent to faculty such as mid-point grading, teaching assignments and active service for the qualifying examination and dissertation. There will be a future design to capture your teaching and historical student information on a separate page in CalCentral.
People impacted: Faculty and Instructors
Systems impacted: CalCentral
Status: There is no ETA for this fix.
What to do: This is a Known Issue - there is no need to log a ticket. If you have identified another issue, please submit a SIS Production Support ticket by sending an email to sishelp@berkeley.edu.
