A brief history:
2003
In 2003 the Student Services Transformation Project (SSTP) began laying the groundwork for implementation of a new academic computing system by reviewing hundreds of processes in all areas of student services administration throughout the University System and recommending improvements in how our universities provide services to students.
2004
In the spring of 2004 most of the SSTP Core Team, with a few changes in membership, became the Academic Structure Team, and worked on the basic framework for all subsequent student administration segments.
2005
The SSTP Core Team's documentation of current processes and improvement opportunities were reviewed in the spring of 2005 by the University of Maine System's THESIS Project, charged to "invent and recommend new processes for providing high quality, innovative and efficient services for students throughout the UMS." THESIS submitted its first reports in March and May, and its recommendations were endorsed by the presidents, the chancellor and the board of trustees.
2006
Based on these recommendations, and incorporating a year of work by the Admissions and Campus Community team, Campus Community (bio-demographic data across all student functions) and Admissions and Recruitment were successfully implemented System-wide on July 31, 2006.
2007 and beyond
Elements of Student Records and Student Financials are being implemented in a phased process, as tasks naturally arise during the course of the academic year, beginning with processing of application fees in September of 2007 and registering for Fall 2008 in the spring of 2008. Implementation of Academic Advisement (which we call Degree Audit) is a campus-based decision; the earliest implementation could take place in March 2008. Financial Aid will be implemented in early 2009.
