CORE: 
Please see “Action Item” ID 2. Kelley reported the Team did not meet this week due to the Independence Day holiday. There are some departments that need to be added to the MCC Institutional Hierarchy which will be discussed at the next CORE Team meeting, Tuesday, 7/11/06
 
Patti D’Avignon who has been the keeper of the codes and has been responsible for recording them on (read only) spreadsheets on the shared drive inquired to Kelley if each individual module could be responsible to add their own codes. IOC members discussed this issue and determined that Patti remain as the keeper and only the codes that have been approved by the President’s Cabinet and have gone through IOC (for approval or information) get passed onto Patti to input. Sending the approved codes electronically is preferred and possibly using her template would aid Patti in inputting.
 
Kelley recommended each individual module to keep very detail records of things that are brought to the President’s Cabinet for approval.

Colleague Financial: 
Rosemary reported that things were opened up to users yesterday, Wednesday, 7/5/06 and there are requisitions, purchase orders and vouchers out there. There have only been a couple minor glitches which were correctly quickly. The first real check run will be done Friday, 7/7/06. Confirmation was received that the positive pay file sent was OK; however there has been no confirmation on the checks sent. The Team is still working on the cross walk for the general fund and the budget to go along with it. The cross walk for the other funds are done and Rosemary will get it out there.

Admissions:
Rosemary indicated that Admissions is the next module to go Live, October 2006, therefore Team Lead Brenda Mitcheltree has been invited to attend the IOC meetings until then. Brenda reported that the Team met yesterday, Wednesday 7/5/06 and are getting ready for training next week, 7/12,13&14/06. Rules are being written in English and the Team continues to address how to do secondary admissions for nursing. The Team redesigned the matriculation card which Phyllis and Pete Hoekema are working on printing them. The application form has been redesigned and reorganized and Brenda is currently gathering information to create an instruction sheet to go along with it. Brenda, Jean and Janie Brooks tighten up and rewrote the residency policy and how to prove residency. Jean presented the revised policy to the President’s Cabinet and they made suggestions. Brenda has made those changes and it will be brought back to the President’s Cabinet for approval and then onto the Board of Trustees for approval.            
 
Student Academic Management: 
Jean reported that the Team is working on program naming conventions. The Team discussed with Doug on creating inactive programs (Associate of Arts, Associates of Science, etc.) with a Z in front of them and placing them purposely at the bottom of the list. He approved. Jean informed that these inactive programs do not show up on the web however they do internally therefore it will lessen the chance for error by doing it this way. The Team continues to build student scenarios so they can be tested and are working on adding legacy grade schemes. The Team meets today.     
      
Accounts Receivable: No report.
 
Degree Audit: No report.

Technical:
Please see “Action Item” ID 1.
 
Kamlesh reported that now Financial is Live with Colleague Release 17 a Project Plan has been created to go from Release 17 to Release 18. Next week, Wednesday, 7/12/06 one of the test databases will be converted so Financial can test on Release 18. The Project Plan has been created for WebAdvisor as well. A timeline will be given on which module will go Live with WebAdvisor.   
 
“Colleague Password Policy” draft sheet was distributed for information. Patricia informed that when people log into Colleague it will force them to change their password and this sheet will give them guidelines to do such. Rosemary asked what to do if someone has a current password that doesn’t meet these guidelines. Patricia in 90 days users will be forced to change it so possibly change it to meet the guidelines then. Kamlesh and Perry will also check in to it. Rosemary indicated to make reviewing the “Colleague Password Policy” an “Action Item” ID 3 to be discussed at next weeks, Thursday, 7/13/06 IOC meeting.
 
“Colleague Access Control Policy and Procedure”, “Colleague Access Request” (pink paper), “Colleague Security Class Setup” (beige paper), and “Colleague Financial User Account Set-Up” (green paper) draft sheets were distributed for information. Many suggestions and changes were recommended. Patricia will complete the changes accordingly.
