Course Listings Fixed; Schedule Updates Being Emailed
Site Status September 1, 2009, 3:34 pmTags: BU Brain, fall 2009, missing courses, schedule updates, summer 2009
The two bugs in our database updater have finally been fixed. You should find that all Fall 2009 courses are appearing on BUSIPlus with updated enrollments. Please email us if this isn’t the case. Summer ’09 courses are currently being updated and should be fixed shortly.
Despite our hopes of doing this before the first day of classes, these bugs kept us from emailing users with changes to their schedules. Now that the errors are gone, we have started sending these immediately. You should receive any updates within a few hours. Hopefully they’ll be of some use to you guys. That said, this is a good time to remind users that BUSIPlus cannot be relied on for real-time updates. It may take us a day or two to detect a schedule change. As a precaution, always verify your schedule against Banner to make sure you don’t miss a class!

why does it take TWO days to get my password emailed back?

I’m sorry about the delay, Anna. In all honesty I couldn’t tell you. All other emails seem to be getting sent practically instantly (I just tested out the password reset utility). The only excuse (which I’ll admit is ridiculously lame) is that sometimes these delays occur to all emails, but it’s usually on the receiving end, in which case it’s out of our control.
My advice for next time – if you don’t get an email in a few minutes, submit the form again. If you don’t get it after the second response, email busiplus@gmail.com and we’ll take care of it for you ASAP.
