our team should now consider TCC and rollout of new technology. Summers are the most common time for campus-wide changes to OS, software, or systems. If TCC makes the move to a new operating system, new application, or new MS Office version, how should training be incorporated into the plan?

Constraints:

• The majority of the Faculty are off-campus in the summer.
• Financial Aid is always under heavy load to process between May to December.
• Vacations are common during summer.
• The workweek is Monday to Thursday and the campus is closed on Fridays.
• For certain departments, the entire department cannot be down for training in most cases.

What would your plan be for a campus-wide change during summer?
