Good afternoon.
UCI is having intermittent interruptions in their Internet connections.
As you know, ASSIST servers are located at UCI, and you may have trouble
connecting or using any ASSIST service until the problem is resolved.
Sorry for the inconvenience. We’ll let you know when we get an update.

Subject: How To Be Sure You're Seeing Current Data in ASSIST
Author: Dale Leaman
Good morning.
With the new academic year there’s a lot of recently published
data in ASSIST, and articulation agreements will continue to get
updated throughout the year. Some of you have called to say that
you were told there is updated articulation for your campus, but
when you try to see it in ASSIST you’re still getting an older
version of the data. That’s usually because you’re seeing a
cached report.
The default setting for most web browsers is to store (or cache)
on your local computer a copy of every web page you visit. That
way, when you return to a page, it appears to be much faster
because you’re getting most of the data from your own computer
rather than getting new data. This is a great idea for slower
Internet connections, or for web pages that are mostly static.
For a system like ASSIST, however, which dynamically generates
a new report for each request, it means you don’t always see
updated data.
To be sure you’re seeing current data when you use ASSIST you
should clear your web browser’s cache and make sure it’s
configured appropriately. Below, I’ve outlined the steps for
you to follow for Internet Explorer 7 on a PC, and for Safari
on a Macintosh:
PC - Internet Explorer 7
1. Launch Internet Explorer
2. Click the Tools menu and select Internet Options
3. In the window that opens, select the General tab if
it’s not selected by default
4. In the section labeled Browsing History, click on Delete
5. The top section is labeled Temporary Internet Files. Click
Delete, and then click yes.
Note: This does not delete Favorites or cookies or stored
passwords.
6. After the Temporary files are deleted, click on Close to go
back to the Internet Options window.
7. Again under Browsing History, click on Settings
8. On the window that comes up, under check for newer versions
of stored pages:, select Every time I visit the webpage
9. Click on OK to return to the Internet Options window
10.Click on OK to close the Internet Options window
11.Exit Internet Explorer
12.Re-launch Internet Explorer
Macintosh - Safari
1. Start Safari
2. Click the Safari menu and select Empty Cache
3. In the confirmation box that opens, click Empty
If you use another browser (like Firefox or Opera) there will
be similar steps to follow. Your campus technical support people
will be able to help you.
If following these steps doesn’t help, it could be that your
campus is using something called a proxy server. If, after
clearing your cache and changing your configuration you’re
still not seeing updated reports, ask your technical people
if your campus is using a proxy server. If the answer is yes,
they can contact us at the ASSIST Coordination Site for more
information. (And yes, for you techy-types, we are setting
meta-tags to No-Cache)
Whew, that was a long one! I hope this helps to ensure that
you’re getting the most current data in ASSIST. Let me know
if you have any questions.

Subject: The ASSIST Coordination Site is Moving
Author: Cathy Robin
Dear Colleagues –
Later this month, the ASSIST Coordination Site will be moving to a
new location on the UC Irvine campus. Our move should be relatively
simple, however, there will be a couple of days when staff or services
are unavailable.
The following outlines times when staff or services will not be
available:
June 4- 18 A number of ASSIST servers will be moved to a new location.
The majority of this move will not affect ASSIST users and Web ASSIST
services will not be affected at any time. However, on June 11 and 12,
the Silverstream server will be relocated to a new location on the Irvine
campus. For those two days, the ASSIST Articulation Maintenance system
and OSCAR will be unavailable. This means that UC and CSU articulation
personnel will not be able to use the system to enter or update articulation
agreements. It also means that community colleges will be unable to enter
outlines or update information in OSCAR. A reminder will be sent to users
the day before Silverstream is taken down.
June 20-24. Our move across campus is scheduled for Saturday, June 21.
On Friday, June 20 we will be preparing desktop computers for the move
although we will be available by phone. On Monday, June 23, Coordination
Site staff will be unavailable since our phone lines will be installed
moved and computers will be set up.
We should be back to business as of Tuesday, June 24.
Our new address is:
ASSIST Coordination Site
5171 California Av Suite 150
Irvine, CA 92697-1005
Our phone number will remain the same: (949) 824-4385.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. We hope to keep
the inconvenience to a minimum.

Subject: Larry Coon Leaving ASSIST
Author: Eric Taggart
Hi Everyone,
It is with incredible sadness and joy that I’m writing to inform you
that Larry Coon has accepted a new position on the UC Irvine campus.
Starting May 1, 2008, Larry will be the Director of Decision Support
Services at UCI’s Office of Institutional Research.
As many of you know, Larry began his work with ASSIST way back in 1986.
I cannot begin to tell you how vital and essential his work has been
to the success of ASSIST. While few among you have the pleasure of working
with Larry on a daily basis, his behind-the-scenes work as our Technical
Manager has enabled ASSIST to become the most essential and effective
technology service for California course articulation and student transfer.
Larry’s fingerprints thoroughly cover all of the software, data and
technology services that encompass ASSIST. He has mastered every
technology ASSIST has ever utilized and he has successfully guided
countless efforts to evolve and improve ASSIST technologies over the
past 22 years.
From a personal perspective, I can barely fathom how much I will miss
working with Larry every single day. I’m envious of his new colleagues
at UCI who will soon enjoy his strong intellect, keen insight and warm
heart.
I know that you all will join me in thanking Larry for the indelible
mark he has left on ASSIST and that you will also join me in wishing
him well as he embarks on this next phase of his career.

Hi Everyone,
The two ASSIST Coordination Site Application Programmers, Starling
Walter and Tony Toyofuku, will be leaving their work with ASSIST
in the coming weeks. Star will be retiring and her last day at
ASSIST will be March 31. Tony is moving to a programming position
at UC Irvine Administrative Computing Services and his last day at
ASSIST will be this coming Friday, March 21.
Since Star and Tony have conducted most of their work behind-the-scenes
you may not know much about them, but their work has been essential to
all of ASSIST’s achievements over the years.
Star has been with ASSIST since 1997 and has developed and
enhanced some of your most favorite services including: the
ASSIST Articulation Data Entry System, the ASSIST Curriculum
Update System, and the ASSIST OSCAR System.
Tony has been with ASSIST since 2002 and while much of his work
has been spent improving existing services such as Web ASSIST and
the ASSIST Curriculum/Articulation Maintenance Reports web sites,
he also programmed the ASSIST Explore Majors web site and the newest
ASSIST Course Search and Articulation Summary features.
I know that you will all join me in wishing Star and Tony well on
their future pursuits. Each of you directly benefits from their
many years of hard work, and millions of students have been served
with the ASSIST software that Star and Tony have helped create.
Thanks to Star and Tony, and thanks to all of you for the hard work
you continue to provide in service to California’s students.

OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT — STUDENT AFFAIRS OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
1111 Franklin Street, 9th Floor
Oakland, California 94607-5200
February 28, 2008
Members of CIAC and Other Transfer-Serving Communities:
I am writing to inform you about an important development occurring at
the ASSIST Coordination Site.
As you all are well aware, these are challenging times for public
higher education in California. Here at the University of California
Office of the President (UCOP), we have been undergoing an organizational
restructuring effort aimed at creating new operational efficiencies and
cost savings – an initiative that actually began late last summer. For
more information on the progress of our restructuring, see:
http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/future/orgupdates.html.
You may, or may not, know that the University of California has been
the fiscal agent for ASSIST since its inception in 1985 and that the
ASSIST Coordination Site (ACS) staff members are considered UCOP
employees. As part of the restructuring efforts, in January 2008 UCOP
employees were offered a Voluntary Separation Program. The program
is designed to help the ongoing restructuring effort by giving
additional support to those employees interested in transitioning
out of UCOP. This program is one of several efforts aimed at
minimizing the need for layoffs.
As of this writing, a significant number of UCOP employees have
indicated their interest in participating in the program, including
Eric Taggert, Director of ASSIST. As the founding director of ASSIST,
his departure will result in change for both his colleagues in the
ACS as well as the articulation community. Eric is a passionate
advocate for transfer students and has been a champion for the
importance of clean, accurate and complete articulation data to support
California’s transfer function. During last fall’s SCIAC and NCIAC
meetings I heard again and again that you value ASSIST as a tool
to support transfer and the work that you do, and how much you
have appreciated the responsiveness and commitment of the ASSIST staff.
We are fortunate that Eric has built a strong ACS team, and I am
particularly grateful that Cathy Robin will remain and assume
responsibility for the day-to-day management of ASSIST. We have
begun the process of transition and are committed to doing this in
as smooth a way as possible. While I understand there will be
some concern about ASSIST given this transition, I am committed
more than ever to the primary functions of ASSIST. As well, the
leadership of the three segments – the California Community College
Chancellor’s Office, the California State University Chancellor’s
Office and the UC Office of the President – are united in their
understanding of the need for ASSIST and their commitment to its
place in the future of higher education in California.
I will appreciate your support as we plan for the transition of the
ASSIST leadership, and I will continue to keep you updated as this
work progresses. Page 2 Eric Taggert

Subject: 2007 Usage Statistics and New Server Computers
Author: Eric Taggart
Hi Everyone,
With the start of the new calendar year, I thought I’d pass along some
basic stats about how many people used ASSIST last year.
During the 2007 calendar year, over 1,200,000 people used ASSIST to
view over 10.4 million articulation reports. That’s another dramatic
annual increase compared to 995,000 people viewing over 8.9 million
reports in 2006.
November 2007 was our busiest month when over 174,000 people viewed
just over 1.1 million reports – this just edged out May 2007 when
we were almost as busy as November.
The best news from last year is that all ASSIST production services
are now running on new web/application and database server computers.
Not only are these computers less vulnerable to failure (because
they’re newer and better), but they’re also significantly faster.
If you haven’t already noticed it, the ASSIST web site responds
much more quickly, especially when you view really long reports.
You may have also caught Larry’s note in December announcing that
the ASSIST server computers are now being powered by an electrical
supply that includes a diesel-generator-powered backup service. This
means that if UCI (where the ASSIST server computers are located)
ever loses power, ASSIST services will keep running along with UCI’s
core Internet connectivity. We thank UCI for this outstanding service
in support of students, faculty and staff throughout the State.
We’re now working on configuring full redundancy for the primary
ASSIST server computers so that backup servers will kick-in in the
unlikely event something happens with the primary servers. This final
work is targeted for completion by the end of March 2008.
The steady increases in annual and monthly ASSIST use continue to
encourage us. We may see the numbers of people using ASSIST start
to level off (there are only so many students in California who are
seeking transfer information!) but we’re hoping that with the faster
server computers, people will start looking at more information each
time they visit.
I want to give a special shout-out to all the staff in my office who
worked on the server upgrades, but I especially want to highlight
Larry Coon’s work. I can’t begin to tell you how hard Larry worked
on this transition, and it’s because of his amazing technical skills,
planning and hard work that the whole process, including the final
cut-over in late December, was completed on-time and with fewer problems
than we had expected. I know you all join me in thanking Larry, Cathy,
Doug, Star, Liz, Dale, Lori, Tony, Heidi and Quentin for all the hard
work they continue to put into keeping ASSIST running during these
challenging times.
Thanks also to all of you who continue to use ASSIST to help students
by advising them with more accurate information and/or by
entering/updating/maintaining the critical information they need in ASSIST.
Here’s hoping you all have a happy new year in 2008,
Eric

Some first-of-the-month processes got tangled last night (one was supposed
to finish before the other started, but it didn't work out that way). As
a result, one of these processes needs to be re-run. There
are two consequences to this -- first, some course and department information in
Web ASSIST reports will not be correct (but this is only true for a small number
of institutions). Second, ASSIST may respond more slowly this morning
under the extra load.

Hi Everyone,
Some people have commented to me on how busy the ASSIST Web site appeared
last month and I thought I’d pass along some numbers that may be of passing
interest.
November 2006 was the busiest month ever for ASSIST when almost 150,000 people
viewed almost 1 million course articulation reports. The actual numbers
from the ASSIST General Activity Report (http://info.assist.org/dbgen1.html)
were that 149,197 people viewed 996,412 articulation reports. I was hoping
November would officially top 1 million reports, but it looks like we’ll
have to wait for May 2007 for that.

Good morning.
As I'm sure most of you know, Compton College now operates as an

El Camino College courses are now being taught at the Compton Center.
In ASSIST, when users select Compton College for the 06-07 academic
year they will be redirected to the El Camino College information. A
brief explanation is also shown. When users choose an earlier year
they will still get the historical information for Compton College.
For users, this process is similar to the one already used when

Subject: New "Using ASSIST" Demos
Author: Dale Leaman
Dear Colleagues,
Here's the good news -
We hear from some users that they're not sure how to
get started when they use ASSIST. To try to help with
that, we've just published some basic "How To Use
ASSIST" demonstrations. These audio/video presentations
provide simple examples of how to use ASSIST to find
articulation and transfer-related course information.
We hope that these will help first time or infrequent
users. These are the first set; we'll soon publish
additional demos that focus on Exploring Majors and
on other choices in ASSIST.
Getting to the demos -
They are available on both the public ASSIST site
(http://www.assist.org) and on the ASSIST Information
Center (http://info.assist.org). To see the demos on
ASSIST, from the Welcome to ASSIST page, click on Using
ASSIST on the left sidebar. Then click on Click here to
learn about using ASSIST. Then click one of the links.
On the ASSIST Information Center, point your mouse at
Publications, then Training Presentations, then Using
ASSIST Demos. Then click one of the links.
Or, if you're impatient, go to -
http://www.assist.org/web-assist/help/help-using_assist.html
and click the link.
Playing the demos -
The demos are Flash movies. They use Flash Player, a
free media player available at www.macromedia.com.
Most computers have Flash Player installed. They
movies play automatically when opened on any
computer with Flash Player installed, and they
include playback controls.
Here's the bad news -
The bad news about the demos is - you have to
listen to me.
If you have any questions feel free to email or call
at (949) 824-4385.

Greetings.
We noticed that some students were trying to use http://assist.org
as the address to access the transfer and articulation information in
ASSIST. That URL, as most of you know, took them to the ASSIST
Information Center, which is intended for ASSIST managers and
other personnel. To make it easier for students to find what
they're looking for, we've made a minor change in the address
for ASSIST and the ASSIST Information Center.
Now, either http://assist.org or http://www.assist.org can be
used to get to the first selection page in ASSIST, the Welcome to
ASSIST page. Maintenance users and others should now use
http://info.assist.org when they want to go to the ASSIST
Information Center. It might take a couple days for the name
change to trickle through all the back-channels of the Internet.
If you have any questions feel free to email or call.

As someone has pointed out for me, I had the wrong dates on
the last message. (Usually, I can find some lame excuse. This time,
though, it was just plain denseness.)
The ASSIST Conference is December 6th, and the CIAC conference
is the 7th. I'm sure you all know that, and were all being gracious
about pointing out how dense I was being.

Hi Everyone,
Just a note to help clarify something in the new ASSIST Transfer
Channel newsletter. We have already subscribed everyone who
was on ASSIST-L to the new ASSIST-Channel-L. So if you get this
email, you don't have to subscribe to ASSIST-Channel-L. If you
do, it will most likely send you a return email that says you are
already subscribed.
However, please encourage others on your campus who may not
be on ASSIST-L to subscribe to ASSIST-Channel-L so that we can
more easily send them future editions.
Thanks,
Eric

ASSIST Transfer Channel
============================================
Welcome to the ASSIST Transfer Channel, the official newsletter
of the ASSIST Coordination Site informing you of ASSIST activities
and adventures. This first issue includes information about user
activity, our new look, new features, and background and basics
about ASSIST for new users. We hope you'll find the ASSIST
Transfer Channel interesting, informative, and useful.
We welcome your feedback and encourage you to tell us about
articles you think will be useful to ASSIST users. Future editions
will be sent only to subscribers, so please take a moment to
subscribe https://maillists.uci.edu/mailman/listinfo/assist-channel-l.
Links to the other articles in the ASSIST Transfer Channel are
included below the letter from the director.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Letter from the Director
Welcome to the first edition of the ASSIST Transfer Channel, a
semi-annual newsletter for counselors, advisors, faculty, evaluators,
articulation officers, and everyone else who is interested in the
latest information about ASSIST.
As you've all seen by now, the ASSIST web site has undergone
some big changes. We said goodbye to the "Backpacker" who
graced the splash page for the past six years. After successfully
transferring the perfect 60 units (that all applied to GE and major
requirements) our student graduated with a bachelor's degree
and is working somewhere in cyberspace making lots of money
and giving back to the community by encouraging more students
to use ASSIST as they plan to transfer.
There are some other key changes you've seen, all of which are
aimed at clarifying the purpose of the ASSIST web site and making
it easier to use. The most important change is that all prompting
for reports has been consolidated onto one page so that users
an see all of their choices at once and new users don't feel like
they're navigating through some crazy maze.
All of the articulation reports in ASSIST are the same as before
(plus some new ones discussed in the "ASSIST - New and Improved"
article of this newsletter) and you can still get printed reports by
clicking the "Print Report" button.
The Exploring Majors feature is now more prominent. If you haven't
used it yet, check it out by clicking the "Explore Majors" button on
the Welcome page. There's only data on UC majors right now but
we're working hard on adding information for all CSU campuses to
better serve more students.
We'll continue to make some minor adjustments to the look and
language of the site, but the basic functionality will remain stable.
And, in case you haven't noticed, you will probably have to update
your bookmarks (and web links) for ASSIST so they reference the
new site.
Thanks to all the staff at the ASSIST Coordination Site for their
hard work on this project - we've received a lot of very positive
feedback on the redesigned site.
On a more mundane matter, funding for ASSIST in 04-05 remained
the same as in 03-04. Coupled with a few specially funded projects
we've been working on, there is enough funding to maintain basic
ASSIST operations throughout the year. We're keeping our fingers
crossed that there will be no cuts for 05-06.
We're e-mailing the first edition of this newsletter to many of our
colleagues but we would appreciate your forwarding it on to any
others at your campus who might be interested. If you would like
to have future editions of the ASSIST Transfer Channel automatically
delivered to your e-mail, please check out the Subscribe section
of this edition for instructions.
Lastly, one feature that we plan to include in each edition of the
ASSIST Transfer Channel is a special section for students that you
can print and hand out in transfer centers and other key places
on campus.
In this edition you'll find a handy beginner's guide for new users
under the heading "Using ASSIST."
Thanks for your continued support of ASSIST and please feel free
to contact any of us at (949) 824-4385 if you have comments
or questions.
Tune into the next edition of the ASSIST Transfer Channel in
February 2005 - until then...

Using ASSIST
If you're reading this you're probably already familiar with ASSIST.
Every new school year means thousands of new ASSIST users, though,
and we thought this would be a good time to give everyone a quick
general guide to using ASSIST. This article won't go through every
possible selection, but should help a first-time user get started.
There are two ways to use ASSIST...

Subject: The New Web ASSIST User Interface
Author: Eric Taggart
Over the weekend we activated the improved Web ASSIST
prompting pages so that everyone who uses ASSIST at
www.assist.org is now using the latest and greatest.
Thanks to everyone who provided comments during the
testing period.
The new site still supports bookmarking specific
prompt and report pages (where the selections will
be remembered), however given the new structure
of the site, old bookmarks will no longer function
correctly. If you have embedded links to ASSIST on
your campus or departmental web pages that go
deeper than www.assist.org, you will need to work
with your local web site staff to update the links.
Over the coming months we will be updating the
ASSIST Online Orientation to align with the new site.
If you find any problems, please contact the ASSIST
Coordination Site at (949) 824-4385.

Subject: Testing the new Web ASSIST user interface
Author: Eric Taggart
One of the many activities approved by the ASSIST Board in the current
ASSIST Strategic Plan is an effort to redesign the first few pages of
Web ASSIST in order to help clarify the intent of ASSIST, especially for
first-time users, and make the system a little bit easier to use. The ASSIST
Coordination Site staff have been working over the summer on this
project and we now have a new user interface that is fully functional
and ready for testing. Next year we will conduct some focus group
testing with students and consider further refinements based on that
feedback.
This morning we activated the test version of the new Web ASSIST user
interface and it can be accessed at http://www.assist.org/web-assist.
This version of Web ASSIST provides all of the same articulation reports
as the regular Web ASSIST system and gets the data from the same
database. The only difference is in the look and feel of the prompting
pages and the help.
This test site will be active for one week from today through Friday,
September 17th. During that time we encourage everyone to check
out the site and let us know if you find any problems. Please report
any problems via email to Lori Quillen at lori@assist.org and she will
make sure we keep track of everything. One item we do know about
is the feedback forms that you'll find via links at the bottom of the
left-hand sidebar. After filling out a feedback form the user is taken
to the old Web ASSIST system (instead of staying in the new test system).
This will be fixed once we active the new user interface for real.
After September 17th we will deactivate the test site and work on a final
cut-over plan. Once the final cut-over is complete, everyone will access
the new Web ASSIST system at our usual address and the test site will
no longer function.
Thank you for your help in testing this site. All of us at the Coordination
Site hope you enjoy the new user interface and find it a bit easier to use.

Author: Jane Leaphart
Dear Articulation Colleagues,
Articulation changes are occurring at Cal Poly SLO. Marcia Friedman
is retiring today, August 31st; please remove her from Articulation
and Catalog lists on your campus. It is with great excitement that
I get to announce the "new" Articulation Officer for Cal Poly SLO.
As of September 1, 2004, Jane Leaphart will be reassigned to
Articulation! My phone # is 805-756-2157; the fax # remains/is
805-756-7237, and my email is jleaphar@calpoly.edu. This is a
wonderful "homecoming" and I look forward to being involved
with CIA0, ASSIST, and CAN again.
We will start with working on 2004-05 agreements immediately.
We expect to be fully operational by Winter term, after I complete
training staff to take over my former position.
I appreciate your continued support and patience as we begin the
arduous task of restarting articulation and updating our articulation
agreements. Obviously, there are large numbers of requests and
CAN verifications to be done. We will need to carefully prioritize our
workload, and be realistic about what can be done in an eight hour
day! I do not know how long it will take to cycle through and update
all of our agreements, 1-2 years?!
We will be contacting each Community College individually when we
are ready to start working on our new agreement with you. I would
be very grateful if you would hold your new articulation requests until
we contact you regarding the 2004-05 or 2005-06 update with your
college. What would be very helpful now, is for you to start reviewing
our old agreements to determine gaps, changes, or proposals so that
you are ready when we contact you for your suggestions to make our
Articulation Agreements current.
It feels so good to be back "home."
Have a great day!
Jane

not be available in ASSIST, but the reports will refer students
and academic advisors to community college catalogs for that
information.
If the list for your college is not currently available, it
indicates that we have not yet received the finalized data

additional lists as they become available.
