We have been working closely with the
Student Financials team as well as other modules to ensure a smooth
transition to HUB. Much of the work is
“behind the scenes” as we prepare the environments to
receive various types of financial aid data.
Currently, we have completed the process
of loading ISIRs into the production environment for the first
major Financial Aid “Go-live.” This sets the stage for
continuing work on aid year rollover, and amending configurations
in relation to the new aid year. We will soon be starting new
processes for 2011-12 aid year in HUB.
We have successfully staged data within
the training environment for Financial Aid and user training -
Janessa Givens-Daniels has facilitated all of the Financial Aid
end-user training to date.
Also, we are continuing to identify new
item types (e.g. institutional scholarships) and the team is
working closely with Student Financials to configure these item
types into the HUB. The next major milestone is
when award packaging begins for new students, followed by
continuing students – targeted for mid-to-late spring
2011.
