Background

  • Tom- Arts and Humanity

  • Custom application-built decades ago (does assessments)- language tests

  • Used for placement (competency within linguistics - https://llp.ucsd.edu/language-program/placement.html

  • about 1k students/year, typically over the summer; after acceptance

    • Current state

      • When students enroll, in order to sign up for appropriate course

      • After completing the test, runs a batch job to ISIS, and enables them to register for particular course

      • Time for go live with TSS

        • Would need to extend a security exemption request

        • Classification of data: names, emails, PIDs (directory info); FERPA data with grades → P3

          • Firewall? VPN? Compensating controls?

          • Pursue exception to policy; if not obtained, would need to manual integration and some sort of bridge solution

    • Future state:

      • Quiz in Canvas

      • Integration to TSS

  • It is EOL and sustainability (security concern)

  • Accounted for in continuity planning, but no project OTL https://its-pro.ucsd.edu/browse/ESRDR
