Interfaces for data to the mainframe student record system were developed and implemented. The intent of this project was to give students choices on how their aid is to be applied to various university charges. While some development activity occurred in the financial aid system, this project is on hold due to other priorities. A new system was implemented for the Spring 1996 semester which allowed students to pay their fees in installment payments. The rest of the project was placed on hold due to a lack of specifications from the Department of Education.
Students now pay tuition and fees based on the number of credit hours in which they enroll.
Financial aid modifications for school year 1996-1997 The Department of Education changed their service provider for processing financial aid applications. New file layouts were developed and new communication software was implemented which allowed for the processing of applications for both the University of Kansas campus and the Board of Regents' financial aid programs. The University of Kansas will be both an Alpha and a Beta test site. The system will use the Oracle database and run on UNIX boxes. The first machine is expected to be delivered during fall semester 1996.
