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!

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.

This currently affects both Summer 2009 and Fall 2009 schedules.  For the time being, we have halted updating to prevent the situation from worsening.  This issue will be addressed tonight, and we hope to have updated schedules in our database by Saturday morning.  Again, our apologies for any trouble this may cause.
