Enhancements
Countdown Timer for Students Waiting for Registration Period to Open

Students waiting for the registration period to open sometimes try too early to get to the Registration Checkout page. Now, on the student's course planning calendar, two indicators let them know precisely when the period opens. This can reduce stress for students and the system.

  • Before the registration period opens, the Registration checkout button is disabled, and it's relabeled Registration closed.

  • Five minutes before the period opens, a countdown timer appears, showing the minutes and seconds left until registration checkout is available.

  • At the moment the period opens, the button is relabeled Registration checkout, it becomes clickable, and it opens the Registration Checkout page.

Images on Browse Rooms Page

J1 Web now allows images to be updated for places, spaces, and suites. Location images updated in J1 Web for locations in Campus Portal are visible on the Browse Rooms page. See the J1 Web Standard Features help for more information.

Meeting Type Displayed for Students

Students can view a section's Meeting Type in the Student Registration feature. Meeting Type is displayed in the section's details available on the planning calendar and the Course Search.

Students can search for sections by Meeting Type, too. That helps them narrow their search to online sections, lectures, seminars, or labs, for example.

Setting Up Meeting Types

To make Meeting Types searchable, there's some setup in both J1 Desktop and J1 Web.

Define Meeting Types

Use the Maintain Table Values window in J1 Desktop to designate Meeting Types (section_master.crs_type).

Designate Meeting Types for Sections

You can do this in either J1 Desktop or J1 Web.

In Desktop, use the Courses (or Courses Non-Traditional) window, Course tab, Master 2 subtab.

In J1 Web, use the Manage Section Details page, Schedule tab.

Make Meeting Types Searchable

Use the Registration Settings page in J1 Web to make Meeting Type one of the search fields students can use to find sections.

When searching for courses using a Course Code (Add/Drop Courses feature), the results included only courses in the student’s current division when courses for all divisions should have appeared.

The Student Registration, Degree Audit Summary feature didn’t show the degree audit information.

RN20178

On the My Course Needs feature, Details page, when the student only had one aim defined, the Graduation Report PDF was generated instead of the the Advising Worksheet.

RN22743

On the Student Registration feature, schedule information did not display for courses that didn't have any days of the week selected in J1 Desktop.

RN23079

On the Student Registration feature, if the student was registered for a course in a different term than the one currently selected, the course displayed as available for registration instead of providing an indication that the student was already currently registered for the course in a different term. These courses now display with the message "Registered in another term".
