August 3 to August 7, 2026 Release Notes

Features & Improvements

Made some improvements to the ABHE report, namely:

• The Historic entering class and completers area now tracks whether a degree was completed on time.
• There is now a "Total" row in the Annual Credit Hours Sold area (and the credit hours calculation was made to calculate credit hours better).
• There are now sections for Annual Unduplicated Headcount, Fall-to-Fall Retention, Annual Retention Rate, and Fall Undergraduate Admissions.

Also made some improvements to Lock Types, to-wit:

• Added a way to positively determine if a lock type is Financial (vs some other type of lock).
• Granted Account Admins edit powers for lock types.
• Started change-logging lock type edits.

You asked, we listened and made some improvements to the new interface, namely:

• Made the branding badge (your school's logo) a link to Home.
• Added My Profile to the Apps dropdown.
• Added a vertical app arrangement option in My Settings.
• Fixed focus styles which were "all over the place" according to the devs.
• Improved search accessibility.
• Fixed the header to the top on scroll.

To change the display of the App Dropdown, click your picture in the upper right of the screen, select My Settings and Messages, and find the App Nav Theme setting. (You can also enter "My Settings General" in search.) You can select Grid or Vertical. Make sure to click Save Settings before leaving this screen.

Added an "Undo Clone" button to the course offering settings page.

XML errors for COD submissions used to be generated by batch with no way of knowing which award is causing the error. Now, they will identify the specific student, award, or disbursement that caused each error.

You can now manage course schedules via API using the MeetingTime object.

Forms are now accessible and fillable in the mobile app.

In SSO setup, SAML configuration data can now be autofilled from the metadata to the Service Provider settings.

Added a Statistics view to library resource copy history that shows Date Created, Total Loans, and Last Inventoried.

Aid Award Type setup area got a facelift.

Bugfixes

Bulk-printing tons of Canadian Donation Receipts into a single PDF used to sometimes break the exporter. We beefed up the exporter so it can handle more exporting now.

If multiple people had the same primary email address, editing a scheduled email to one of them was causing the recipients list to duplicate.

If you tried to remove the Staff role from a Billing Contact user, a fake redbar error would stop you.

When using the API GET /courseofferings call, the books expand was broken for cross-listed courses.
