A&R Corner

The August 21 GED Exam is now FULL. Reservations are currently being accepted for the September 18 GED Exam.

With the absence of local high school summer school programs, SCE has experienced an increase in the number of minor students wishing to enroll in both tuition and apportionment courses. Particularly popular are courses in computer graphics, foreign language, and photography. We have developed a special process for these students though all admissions must still be approved by a Dean. Despite considerable demand, we will not admit minor students to adult martial arts classes for liability reasons.  Separate martial arts classes for kids and teens have been established to meet this demand.

We are nearly half-way through the Summer 2010 term and Summer schedules are low or completely out.  Please inform students and other community members that the SCE Fall 2010 term schedule will be distributed the week of August 2, 2010.

Please post credit card sales in TSAAREV by entering the type of card and the last 4 digits of the credit card number in the Description field next to the 3CRC detail code. You can abbreviate Mastercard, mc. The last 4 digits of the card is helpful in the event research is needed to clarify accounting issues.

See example below.

Please enter the parking permit number as shown in the following example, in the Description field on the same line as the 3PRF detail code.. The word ‘permit’ is all lower case. Do not use the number symbol #. Posting the permit numbers in a standardized format helps when running reports for accounting purposes.

In order to accommodate our vendor, the date has been changed to migrate over to the new credit card process. The new date is Thursday July 8.  This means that Banner Self-Service (WebSTAR) and Banner will be unavailable from 6 am - 10 am on the morning of Thursday, July 8 to accommodate the cut-over.

A more detailed timeline of the implementation is provided below for your reference:

Tuesday, July 6 @ 5:00 pm - no more test transactions in the TEST database

Wednesday, July 7 - Official Payments convert from TEST to PRODUCTION.

Wednesday, July 7 @ Midnight - credit card transactions are batched and settled using our existing system. Credit card processing will remain disabled until the upgrade has been completed.

Thursday, July 8 @ 6:00 am - District IS runs scripts and configures Banner for the new payment process.  Banner and Banner Self-Service (WebSTAR) will be unavailable during this time.  Argos and myGateway will be unaffected.  Employees will be notified via e-mail as soon as Banner is available again.

Thursday, July 8 @ 10:00 - credit card transactions processed on-line through the new system

Friday, July 9 - Renie confirms (remotely) that transactions have settled properly and are posted with the bank.
