Feb 16, 2016 – Feb 26, 2016
This cycle's goals are to launch the Apply portal for ECFS applications, provide a more flexible buy-out record in Courses, make some adjustments to Appreview to support Apply and the current application review process, and implement Person/User reporting that will help us manage system authorizations.

Person
- Centralized person update system that prioritizes input and logs changes
- New implementation of import person data from UW Enterprise Data warehouse for efficiency and consistency. All updates use the shared person update system for logging.
