ROSI Users,
Some users have been experiencing a “Restart ROSI” error message when attempting to scroll through financial invoices on the 7AGH and 7AGG screens. Due to a security update with the technical infrastructure that supports ROSI, we have made a minor permanent modification to the user interface on screens 7AGH and 7AGG to prevent this error from reoccurring.
The scrolling action buttons (e.g., Down) have been removed, and the “Print” button has been renamed to “Display”. The “Display” button will act the same as the current “Print” button, which opens invoices as a PDF in a new browser tab. Invoices in this tab will continue to be scrollable and are also now searchable (e.g., using Ctrl + F to bring up a keyword search window).
Note: You will need to have pop ups enabled in your browser for ROSI to display this invoice screen.
Should you have any further inquiries or require assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team.
Join us on the first Thursday of each month for an informative Connect+Learn session on SIS Training Resources & Support, tailored primarily for new ROSI users. The Student Information Systems (SIS) group manages enterprise student and curriculum applications, and processes for the University.
SIS provides reporting tools, enhancement and production request forms, and support for the SIS applications. In the session, we will discuss:

Dear divisional IT administrators:
As you may be aware, U of T will be transitioning from the currently unsupported SAP GUI 7.6 (Patch 6) to SAP GUI 8.0 (Patch 4). This update offers performance improvements, and enhanced stability and security.
Enterprise Applications & Solutions Integration (EASI) has been developing a deployment package and instructions for this upgrade. Initial pilot deployments with select users have highlighted opportunities for further refinement.
To ensure a smooth transition to the new version, we will be conducting additional testing and will refine the deployment package before announcing a broader rollout in early May. We will be encouraging all divisions to upgrade to SAP GUI 8.0 (Patch 4) by June 30, 2024.
Please note that this upgrade will minimally impact business processes and will be easy for users to adapt – once upgraded, users will see a simplified list of connection entries on the Logon Pad, and they will be able to connect to the AMS environment. There will be no changes to the theme.
We appreciate your patience and support as we continue to enhance our deployment process for the benefit of the University community.
*** This e-mail is sent on behalf of University Registrar’s Office – Student Accounts ***
Please do NOT process any batch or online Change of POSt (CHOP) on Thursday, April 11 and Friday, April 12.
If you process a CHOP for a student during this period, the student’s fees will be calculated incorrectly and in a manner that will be very difficult and time-consuming for Student Accounts to correct.
The student’s ACORN Financial Account may be blocked while the corrections are made.
If you must process a CHOP for a student during this period, then you must trigger fees assessment by viewing the student’s invoice and forward an email message to bonnie.vincze@utoronto.ca.
University Registrar’s Office – Student Accounts is testing the Summer 2024 session fees assessment process during this period, and if the testing is successful, fees assessment will be turned ‘ON’ at 5pm on Friday, April 12 and fees will be available to view on ROSI on Monday, April 15.
Your co-operation is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Student Information Systems
