During the Spring Term 2000, FAU used F.A.C.T.S.' transcript request procedure as a vehicle for students to obtain their grades online. This provided a cost savings to the Registrar's Office, easy access for the students and reduced walk-in and telephone traffic. FAU, along with USF, are the top users of the F.A.C.T.S. system. As of today, FAU has logged over 100,000 requests. Service Other forms, such as Network Installation Request and Lab problem reporting, will be added soon.
Wireless technology operates somewhat like a cell phone.
As with most projects, discrete steps will be identified. If both the plan and each step are successful, we will proceed to the next step. It seems hopeful that given the resources and the funds, this project will come to fruition and we will move forward. Arrangements have been made to Beta test this project in selected areas after receipt of the needed hardware equipment. The hardware has been ordered and is estimated to arrive about January, 2001.
