uAchieve Cloud project go-live

The migration of uAchieve (APAS) from on premises to the vendor-supported cloud and an upgrade to the newest software is scheduled for the week of June 15. The cloud environment will be available starting June 18.

There will be a 3-day freeze period during the transition from June 15-17. We want you to be aware of the following:

• You can still run audits through view access.
• Any audits run before or during the freeze will not transfer to the cloud, so save these offline for future reference.
• Do not make any exceptions or changes in APAS (self-service, client, or database) during the freeze as these will not migrate to the cloud.

How to prepare

We encourage you to do the following in preparation:

• Make all exceptions and changes in APAS by end of day June 12.
• Save any audits you want to keep by end of day June 17.

After go-live, you may notice some minor menu changes with the newest software, but otherwise, your access and use of the system will remain the same. More information can be found on the Academic Support Resources website.

uAchieve/Grad Planner update

Work is underway to move uAchieve (e.g., APAS and transfer credit articulation) from on-premesis to the cloud and to upgrade to the newest version. Because Graduation Planner depends on APAS data to function, when that transition to the cloud and upgrade is complete, Graduation Planner will no longer work. Additionally, Graduation Planner does not meet the Title II digital accessibility requirements that must be met by April 2026.

For these reasons, Graduation Planner will be retiring on January 30, 2026. Planning for a replacement option is underway, but there will be a period of time when no long-term course planning tool is available.

A town hall Zoom meeting is being held on Thursday, September 25 from 10:30-11:30 a.m. for stakeholders to learn more about this work and to share feedback with those leading the effort. Please share this information with anyone you think would be interested. They can RSVP to receive meeting details. More information is available on the uAchieve cloud project page.
