Dear ROSI Users,

Enterprise Applications & Solutions Integration (EASI) is working on changes to the infrastructure that currently manages physical printing from ROSI and AMS systems. Several years ago, we implemented “ECOPRINT” to allow some ROSI users to create PDF files instead of printing to paper. In 2018, we made that option available to all users via the ECOPRINT folder in ROSI FILES. We are now completing that migration and we ask ROSI users to send all their print requests to ECOPRINT, as we will be defaulting to this option in early 2023.

As a reminder, to use ECOPRINT, enter ECOPRINT instead of a printer address when you print a report or correspondence from ROSI. To open, save, or print the output, navigate to ROSI Files and open the folder with your ROSI ID then open the ECOPRINT folder. For details, go to the Getting Started page on the Student Information Systems SharePoint site.

Join an upcoming Connect+Learn session to learn about what steps you would take to print a ROSI report to PDF and how to retrieve it in ROSI Files.

Documents in ROSI Files are automatically purged after 30 days. Files that need to be retained should be moved to a secure location (e.g., locked filing cabinet if printed, secure departmental server or SharePoint if retained in electronic form).

Please stay tuned for more details as we approach early 2023.

Sincerely,
Student Information Systems

To assist you in preparing for the November 1 count, please refer to the procedures below.

On the evening of the retrieval date, November 8^th, Planning & Budget will run the enrolment retrieval program to extract the records of all students with academic activities in the Fall session, with a Status Effective Date of November 1^st.

Key Dates

• Fall Count Date = Tuesday November 1^st
• Status Effective Date = Tuesday November 1^st
• Fall Count Retrieval Date = Tuesday November 8^th

The Fall Count Retrieval Date enables divisions extra time to make required updates in ROSI, backdated to the November 1^st  Registration Status Effective Date. On November 8^th, all academic activities that were approved on or before November 1^st will be picked up for each student. Academic activities that do not have a status set to APP (approved) on or before the November 1^st Status Effective Date will be excluded from the count. You can continue to process ROSI records between November 1^st and November 8^th and they will be included in the enrolment count if the Status Effective Date has been set to November 1^st.

Actions Required

Please perform the following actions prior to November 1^st:

1. Please run the Count-Date Preparation reports in ROSI (direct command 4 B B) as early as you can. These programs will assist you in identifying student records that may require adjustments. Examine the outputs and enter corrections/changes to the student’s record on or before the retrieval date.
2. Please run the Registrations Containing Anomalous Data report in ROSI (direct command 4 B B G). This report will assist you in identifying records that may require follow up with students.
3. Documents supporting the exempt status of international students who have been exempted from paying international fees must be on file with your division and available for reference. To identify international exempt students, please run the Registration Fee Category Overrides report in ROSI (direct command 4 B B D).
4. Ensure that students’ Legal Status, Country of Citizenship, Permanent Address, Date of Birth, and Mother Tongue is complete.
5. Please ensure that all Academic Activity Approval dates and Registration Status Effective Dates are set to November 1^st or earlier for students who are legitimately in a course but whose ROSI records were not updated until after November 1^st. This includes FINCA’d registrations that were later re-instated with a status of REG.

Please perform the following actions after November 8^th:

1. After the count retrieval, you will receive an email notification that your division’s report dataset has been created. Please review these reports. This is an additional check to ensure that no students have been missed.
2. Before November 14^th, please notify us if substantive changes need to be made to your division’s records.

If you have any questions or if you need clarification, please contact Planning & Analytics by email at planning.analytics@utoronto.ca.
