FAU and IRM will be very busy during the next two years installing the Student Information System and modifying the interfaces between the FAU systems and the State of Florida databases. IRM will need the support of the entire university in addressing these areas. Future newsletters will feature these areas of concern and ways to address the problems. In order to better serve all campuses, it is important to identify systems needing hardware upgrades. At this time, IRM supports releases up to ver 7.5.x only.
Caution is advised when purchasing new software.
FAU's Web site has received numerous awards for its policies, instructional resources, and quality of information. Admissions receives approximately 1,000 requests each month for information from the FAU Web site. Creativity blossoms and computer program exploration provides an interesting pastime. However, the most recent software download may hold within more than the latest program found as yet on the Internet. Update maintenance can avoid vulnerability to new viruses as they continue to be developed.
