May 19 to May 23, 2025 Release Notes

Features & Improvements

Removed the Moolah link from our payment gateway stuff. They used to provide non-profit access to Authorize.net. Now they're pivoting to "modernizing payments for dental practices", and we just can't condone that kind of thing. Dentists are scary and have lots of ways to poke and stab and drill you right in the mouth, and we want no part of helping them get paid to do that.

Bugfixes

Remember that Clearinghouse “blank column” issue from a couple weeks ago? I kinda do. As it turns out, nothing was broken at all and “fixing” it started causing issues for other users… so we unfixed it.

'Twas a course evaluation bug that made student answers occasionally duplicate themselves. We unduplicated them.

This one was absurd and petty, but we still fixed it: if a staff member’s localization was set to something other than English and they accepted an application, the applicant’s linked Birthdate field would not get imported to their profile.

Another absurd one that illustrates the dangers of using computers: interacting with the Export Schedule dialog was creating oodles of default course schedule layouts.

A bug was preventing T2202 forms from being generated for all students who qualified for one. It only generated them for some qualifying students.

If an applicant responded to an application question email with just an attachment and no text, that was not getting attached to the question thread in Populi.

Videos and Focus Sessions

The heading may put them second, but Focus Sessions always put you first:

• Introduction to Degree Audit: Learn the ropes about degree requirements, course groups, course mapping, exceptions, transcripts and so on. This will be most useful to Academic Admin and Registrar users. It's scheduled for May 27th, 2025, 11:00 AM Pacific time.
• Introduction to Financial Aid: Get the skinny on financial aid settings, awards, packaging aid, disbursements, aid applications and so on. This will be most useful to Financial Aid and Financial Admin users. It's scheduled for May 29th, 2025, 11:00 AM Pacific time.
