| Academic | Enhancement | 60278 | Students with an existing degree record who apply for a new program with a new application will now have the new degree record automatically created when the new application progress code is updated to the corresponding AD100 Custom Control setting. The new record will not be marked as the current degree automatically to prevent students from accidently getting off track if they apply for a new program while still completing their current program. Please note that to properly change a student to the new program the administrator must update the current program status to the appropriate status, and then update the new degree record to current and an active status so the student then will be enrolled under the new program. | Multiple Applications and Admissions |

SSRS 2019 - Custom Report Re-Deployment to New Server
In this months update, we are moving the SSRS Base Reports to SSRS 2019, which will be a fresh update to the look and feel of the base reports. With this change and last months adjustment to the deployment target URL. It is possible that your institution's custom reports may need to be re-deployed to link up to the new 2019 server. The deployment and the login URLs should not change.
SSRS Custom Report Deployment Update
As a continuation to keep the software and environments secure, institutions that deploy their own custom SSRS reports to the base reports will need to change their deployment target URL to https://reportpublishing.campuscafesoftware.com:1443/ReportServer . Using this link will leverage the https method for communication to the SSRS server as well as using a non-standard port to add security. The default port of 80 is shut down so all communication to the report server will be through encrypted means only.
Please note that COD Schema 5.0a has now been installed in the system. If you use Campus Cafe for Origination and Disbursement with the COD system, the government is now requiring a "Payment Period Ending Date" on all disbursements for Pell and Direct Loans for the 2022-2023 year. This new field can be found on the disbursement level detail page and can be set under the term disbursement rules.

| Academic | Enhancement | 55005/ 56652 | For students in clock hour programs who take a Leave of Absence their course dates need to be extended out to the 150% mark set in the student's degree program record. A new Custom Controls/MSParm (ATTEND_150) has been added to use 150% dates for courses: When Custom Control ATTEND_150 is set to "Y" then the following will take place: -When a course is created, either through the course copy function or just by adding a course (if MSPARM CRSDATECPY is Y) then the end date of the course will be the program length 150% date from the semester dates table instead of the set end date from the semester dates maintenance record. -When a degree row is created and MSPARM DEGREE_OVR = Y then the degree's 150% Date Override will be populated with the program length 150% date from the semester date maintenance record. This only is true for degrees whose majors are clock hour majors. -The Course Roster will look at the degree's 150% Date Override field (not the end date) when determining if attendance can be taken for that person for that date (no attendance can be taken after the degree has ended). -All Clock Hour Reports will use the degree's 150% Date Override as the end date if 150% override date is filled out. If the 150% override is blank it will still use the degree's end date. | Configure Attendance |
