Cycle 39

Jul 5, 2016 – Jul 15, 2016

This cycle we continued work on Student 2. We did some requirements drafts and mock-ups on major features that will be enhanced in Student 2: Credit & GPA counts, Placements, and Milestones. In the next couple weeks we will be meeting with subject matter experts in the college to ensure the new build is a significant useful enhancement.
