[Using Sakai] [WG: End-User Support] Question about Sakai -> Registrar integration

[Mathieu Plourde]

Hi Amber,

1. Our faculty will login to our webforms service where they will match
rosters in Sakai with official rosters in our SIS system.
2. We use a semi-manual system, where faculty elect to use the process or
not. They can still record their grades manually in our SIS.
3. Everything was developed in-house. Final grades will come from Gradebook
2.
4. Not sure yet, we're piloting this semester.
