ISSUE: Campus Solutions - Enrollment Request - Waitlist is Okay Bug
Original Post Date: August 1, 2018
Description: There is currently a bug in Campus Solutions, Enrollment Request, which will inadvertently drop a student's class during a Swap transaction (without the student being enrolled in the requested class).
If a staff member uses Enrollment Request
Action = SWAP
Clicks the "Waitlist is Okay" checkbox
This can be prevented by allowing the student to swap themselves, with waitlist is okay checked on CalCentral.
Chooses their enrolled class A to be swapped with class B, chooses waitlist is okay, and if placed on the waitlist for class B, their class A will remain enrolled and their requested class B will be on the waitlist (this is correct).
People impacted: Students (their enrolled classes prior to being swapped to the intended class)
Enrollment Managers (can not use part of a delivered functionality to assist students)
Systems impacted: Campus Solutions
Status: In Review

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.
