Purpose: Announce CIT's intent to discontinue a service. Can also be used as final notice that a service has been discontinued.1

This template is used for communicating with end users as well as technical support providers. Communications to the latter group should include technical details (or a URL) if the discontinued service may affect interoperability of services they provide, or if they are expected to assist users in finding alternatives.

1 Some CIT services have existing methods for communicating directly with the users of their services. Changes to those services may be better handled using those methods.

From: "Information Technologies Special Bulletins"
Subject: 1/31 Telnet "Just the Facts" discontinued

On Jan. 31, 2003, the telnet version of Just the Facts will be discontinued.

This service was a way for students to view their grades, course schedule, addresses, and other information stored in Just the Facts using a telnet client. It has been replaced with a web-based version that has the same functionality – see http://jtf.cornell.edu .

The web-based version, like the telnet version, is intended to let students review their Just the Facts information in situations where they cannot use Bear Access. To modify any information shown in Just the Facts, or to use CoursEnroll, students still need to launch Just the Facts via Bear Access.

For more information about Just the Facts, see http://www.sws.cornell.edu/OUR/student/jtf.html

If you have questions or concerns about this change, please let us know at univreg@cornell.edu

Thank you.
