Abstract Text:This showcase will present how the University of Florida's Office of Academic Technology integrated Vista with a home-grown SIS for roster loading. UF's process not only populates courses but automatically updates rosters during drop-add and handles late adds, withdrawals, administrative drops, and mid-semester course creation. The UF process also accommodates the flexibility desired by faculty allowing the loading of multiple UF sections into a common Vista section or loading separate Vista sections for each UF section.
