Campus applications

Additional campus-specific applications that have dependencies on CU System applications will be impacted during the implementation window.  Significantly, UIS uploads to OIT applications of employee, student and applicant data will not be available. Here are campus-specific lists of impacted applications and their audiences:

CU Boulder Impact Assessment
CU Denver Impact Assessment

While this post serves as the impact assessment for CU System Administration, some offices have posted specifics to prepare their customers for the DCM impact to their services:

• ​Human Capital Management Community
• Procurement Service Center
• eComm
• Controller's Office

We encourage those whose business operations and services will be interrupted to inform their customers weeks in advance.
