During spring quarter, a survey will be forwarded to students to once again obtain their feedback on web registration, so the processes can continue to be refined. This system is very heavily used by nearly all faculty, staff and students. It's not uncommon to have 250 people simultaneously connected to Paul reading email and conducting campus business. Email, using the program Pine, is the heaviest use application on Paul. This is a good thing that we want to encourage.
Email is a tremendous tool for campus communication.
While we have been evaluating how to improve system performance we have noticed that more and more people stay logged in to email throughout the day even though they are only actively reviewing or sending messages for very short periods of time.
