Fall 2011 Schedules Available… No, Really!

Saugata — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 05:40:13 +0000

Well, as usual, I’ve been sucking lately at updating BUSIPlus. Rest assured, though – we haven’t given up! The Fall 2011 schedules are now available. Please let us know if you have any issues with them. Our humblest apologies for being so behind on this.

We have also fixed an issue with the course descriptions. They should now be available for most of courses. Nice to have links that work when you click them, huh?

Anyhow, good luck to you as the new semester starts!

Winter, Spring, Summer 2011 Schedules Finally Posted

Saugata — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 14:20:53 +0000

Many apologies that this has taken so long this semester, but we have finally updated the schedules on BUSIPlus to include Winter 2011, Spring 2011, and Summer 2011 classes. We will not take this long next time – it was just a lot of poor timing on my part, and the inability to easily access the database remotely over the last month prevented this from getting done in December . You will find all of the latest updates to your schedules online now. Please let us know if you discover any errors.

Schedule Updates for Fall ’10 Being Mailed

Saugata — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 06:15:56 +0000

We just ran an update of the BUSIPlus database, and are in the process of mailing changes to user’s schedules. Please check your email to see if there are any new changes to your room numbers or class times. Also, shoot us an email if you see any classes that are incorrect or missing. Good luck this semester!

Summer, Fall 2010 Schedules Now Available

Saugata — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 17:06:08 +0000

All of the Summer 2010 and Fall 2010 courses are now up on BUSIPlus. Once again, please accept our apologies for the delay this semester. Let us know if you find any missing classes, though we have done our best to make sure that all classes are on BUSIPlus.

Don’t forget – for up-to-the-minute news on BUSIPlus, and to ask us any questions, follow us on Twitter!

Fall, Summer Schedules to Be Posted by Tonight

Saugata — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 22:37:56 +0000

I apologize that we’re a couple of days behind this semester. We will be posting the new schedules tonight hopefully, once we scan the BU Brain database. Once the new schedules are posted, we will update our blog to let you know. To keep up to date, follow us on Facebook or add us on Twitter.

BUSIPlus Updated; Changes Emailed

Saugata — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 09:36:45 +0000

It seems that the earlier slowdowns experienced are now gone, and our course roster has been updated. As such, emails have been sent out to notify users of changes to their schedules. If you are unsure of whether your schedule has changed, please log into BUSIPlus and verify your schedule and room numbers. Good luck to everyone this semester!

Check Your Schedules – Issue with Updates

Saugata — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 19:58:23 +0000

Please make sure you verify your schedules manually against BU Brain. There is an issue where our updates against Banner seem to have been slowed down significantly. As a result, we are unable to update the roster of classes temporarily, and cannot guarantee that your schedules do not contain obsolete information.

We will not email schedule updates until the roster is up-to-date. This is to ensure that we do not send incorrect information to our users. We will notify you when the issue has been resolved, and you will receive an email with updates to your schedule. We apologize for this inconvenience, but hope to have the issue rectified shortly.

Spring 2010 Schedules Now Posted!

Saugata — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:06:31 +0000

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

Saugata — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:30:31 +0000

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

Saugata — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 19:34:03 +0000

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!
