[pvstudentannc at thunderheart.pvc.maricopa.edu]

Maricopa Community Colleges Students:

Our new Student Information System will debut on Tuesday, February 19, 
2008 to support our colleges and provide students with new and improved 
self-service features. The conversion will take several days, starting 
February 12, 2008 at 5:00 p.m. through February 19, 2008 at 8:00 a.m. 
During this conversion time, our colleges will have limited access to 
student records and Maricopa Online (i.e. online registration) will be 
unavailable.

Implementation of the online system is part of our commitment to a 
strong teaching and learning environment. The excitement has been 
building for both students and employees. The new system will, for the 
first time, link all 10 of the Maricopa Community Colleges.

Students lives are about to become easier with the new online Student 
Center. They will be able to perform a variety of tasks and inquiries, 
such as apply for admission, search for and register for classes, check 
grades, make payments, and request transcripts all from the online 
Student Center. The system will allow student information to travel with 
the student from one college to another.

With the debut of the new system, years of front-end planning at the 
college and district levels, computer programming, testing and training 
will come to fruition. We anticipate a successful roll-out and we are 
prepared to respond quickly to any students who may need assistance 
during and after the conversion. A new 24-hour help line will also be 
available for students to call for immediate support beginning on Feb. 
19. Say good-bye to waiting in lines. We are looking forward to a new 
and improved way to serve our students!
