 Subject: MASSMAIL - NESSIE: Update Your Personal Information

Email Memo

Re:  NESSIE - Update your personal information

On February 18, the first UI-Integrate Banner module, 
Biographic/Demographic, was successfully launched. During the conversion to 
Banner, changes to your personal information may have occurred and should 
be validated to ensure the accuracy of information contained in your file.  
Any changes to your record can be viewed in the "Employee Information Form" 
found in the "Your File" section of NESSIE.  More specific detail regarding 
the types of changes that may have occurred follow: 

*Personal Information Changes* 
When the Biographic/Demographic information was implemented, your personal 
data was converted to a new format. As a result, some of your information 
may have been removed or changed to conform to the new Banner system 
requirements. Examples of data changes include but are not limited to the 
following:

Shortened information. For example, Work History position descriptions in 
Banner can only be 255 characters long. During the conversion, longer 
records were shortened. Depending on how you originally entered data, you 
may want to revise the condensed version of your record so it is complete.
 
Removed information. For example, Grade Point Average (GPA) was completely 
removed during the conversion. Banner only accepts a GPA on a 4.0 scale. 
Consider entering your GPA based on a 4.0 scale to include this information 
in your file. 

Omitted categories. For example, in the Certifications section of NESSIE, 
the Certification of Vocation Completion did not have a corresponding 
category in Banner. Records listing Certificate of Vocational Completion 
were removed and cannot be updated or reinstated.
 
Default gender codes.  Banner used a default gender of "Female" for any 
employee for whom gender data was not available in the previous system. 
Please review this information.

*Note Regarding Secure Logon*
Note that you are no longer required to enter your Social Security Number 
to access an application or create a PIN.  However, depending on the 
section of the application you are in, you may be required to enter your 
University Identification Number (UIN). This is found on your i-card. For 
more information about your UIN visit http://www.icard.uillinois.edu/.
 
*What's Next?*
Due to possible changes in your on-line data, you will need to review your 
personal information. Please take this opportunity to access NESSIE at 
http://nessie.uihr.uillinois.edu/. You must have your University NetID and 
Password to log on.  Select Your File and the link to Employee Information 
Form. Verify your information in the following sections and make any 
necessary changes or updates.

Certifications
Demographic and Address
Drivers License 
Education 
Emergency Contact

*Need Help?*

Thank you for your participation in this stage of the transition of data 
into the new Banner system, and for your cooperation in verifying and 
updating your personal information.
