 SSN Remediation and the Alumni system (ADVANCE)

The first phase of the Social Security Number Remediation Project is scheduled for go-live on Monday, August 13th. This means that SSNs will be removed from the Alumni system (ADVANCE) and from the SSO system. All occurrences of SSNs within these systems will be replaced with an alternate ID, which is a randomly assigned nine digit number with no intrinsic value. The true SSNs will be stored in an electronic vault managed by the University's Division of Information Technology in Columbia.

We do not expect any disruption in the services provided by ADVANCE and the SSO system as a result of the go-live; however if local issues arise please call the UMKC IS Call Center at 816.235.2000, or visit us at 4825 Troost, Suite 102.

 Podcasting / Coursecasting Pilot

For the winter/spring semesters of 2008, UMKC will be continuing its pilot of two technology solutions with podcasting capabilities, Tegrity Campus 2.0 and Wimba Voice Tools. Both solutions will be fully integrated with Blackboard.

The sign-up date for the Tegrity Podcasting/Coursecasting Spring 2008 pilot has passed, however last-minute spots may still become available. If you are interested in being part of the pilot but haven't already submitted a pilot request form, please contact Vishal Kurup at kurupv@umkc.edu.
