Subject: 1/31 Telnet "Just the Facts" discontinued

On Jan. 31, 2003, the telnet version of Just the Facts will be discontinued.

This service was a way for students to view their grades, course schedule, addresses, and other information stored in Just the Facts using a telnet client. It has been replaced with a web-based version that has the same functionality – see http://jtf.cornell.edu^{Image Removed} .

The web-based version, like the telnet version, is intended to let students review their Just the Facts information in situations where they cannot use Bear Access. To modify any information shown in Just the Facts, or to use CoursEnroll, students still need to launch Just the Facts via Bear Access.

For more information about Just the Facts, see http://www.sws.cornell.edu/OUR/student/jtf.html^{Image Removed}

If you have questions or concerns about this change, please let us know at univreg@cornell.edu

Thank you.

CU FY08 data, voice rates set

Cornell Information Technologies is pleased to announce that the University has approved our recommended fiscal year 2008 voice and data rates. For the 4th year in a row, there are no increases in monthly rates.

Effective July 1, 2007, the rates for data ports and standard WAN usage will decrease. Most other rates will remain at FY07 levels. Please note two important changes that will take effect beginning in the current fiscal year:

1) Starting Apr. 2, 2007, CIT will begin prorating the fees for voice and data services. Fees will be assessed based on when services are begun or ended. (Currently, CIT charges the full monthly fee regardless of the start date.) CUTV fees will not be prorated, per our vendor contract.

2) Starting Apr. 2, 2007, CIT will change the fee that units are billed when they submit requests for moving, adding, changing, or disconnecting voice and/or data services (MACD requests). Currently, a unit is billed $30 per order, whether that order contains a single or multiple MACD requests. Beginning in April, CIT will assess a $5 fee per individual MACD request. Historical data indicates that this change will not increase what most units pay for MACD requests.
