Programming
Mark Ellis, Greg Andriano and Melissa Kramer are responsible for maintaining and creating computer programs that can be utilized by students, faculty, staff and other qualified users needing information from our databases that reside on the mainframe computer.
Generally, users fill out a information technology service request form to request what type of information is needed, whether it be in the form of a report or in the form of an online computer screen. Request forms can be picked up in the Information Technology office (Hearnes Center, Room 110).
Most request forms also need the signature of the owner of the data. The appropriate signatures are as follows:
- Student records information, class schedule, grades, holds
and rosters - Susan Bracciano's signature.
- Financial aid information -
Marilyn Baker's signature.
- Student billing information, payroll data - Dan Eckhoff's signature.
These signatures are needed to ensure the integrity of our data is used for only legitimate reasons. Also, it acts as a clearinghouse, so that there is a consensus on program changes. Many programs are used by several users. Changing a program for the benefit of one user can be a detriment to another user.
If you have a question about any report or screen, please call Mark Ellis at x4221 or
e-mail at ellism@missouriwestern.edu.
