Spring 2010 Schedules Now Posted!

Site Status No Comments »

The Spring 2010 course roster is now up!  Please make sure to notify us by either using the feedback form or sending an email if you find any errors!

Also, we’ve noticed that the course descriptions are broken.  We are looking into the best way to bring those back, as BU Brain seems to lack consistency these days.  We’re also looking into what to do to restore the grading option (letter vs. pass/fail) information into BUSIPlus.  We’ll keep you updated once we figure out what to do for both of these issues.

Spring 2010 Schedules Coming This Weekend

Site Status No Comments »

Just a quick note that we are currently working on adding in the Spring 2010 schedules to BUSIPlus.  There have been a couple of small issues that need to be fixed (thanks, BU Brain…), but we should have it up and running by Monday.  Once we do, we’ll post an update on the blog, so make sure to check back here!

Course Listings Fixed; Schedule Updates Being Emailed

Site Status 2 Comments »

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!

Errors Resulting from Latest Updates

Update: August 31st

One of the two bugs has been solved, but unfortunately the major bug still remains.  Unexpected events have prevented us from working on this as intended, though the second bug will be addressed Monday. Once the bug is fixed, we will email schedule updates. Please bear with us and accept our sincere apologies for the delay.


Sorry for the inconvenience, but it appears that BU Brain has changed the underlying code for its schedule of classes somewhat, and that’s screwing up our database updater.  The following errors have been noted so far:

  • Courses from the following departments are missing: COLI, ENG, LACS
  • Gened information is missing
  • Some partial semester classes may not have durations listed

Please keep in mind that schedules you have already saved in your account are unaffected.
