Releases & Annual Update Schedule

- Annual Update Release:
Aligned to enrollment cycle; late March to early April (March 16 - April 7). The 2017 release is tentatively scheduled for March 31, 2017.
...
There are traditional peak and low-volume enrollment times throughout the year, as well as cyclical events/processes that impact the workload of college IT staff. After the March/April update, college enrollment is on blast until September 15 timeframe. All through the late spring and summer and into early Sept are high enrollment periods (kids getting ready to go back to school/Fall semester). There's a lull around mid-late September and early Oct, which would be next best time for a supplemental update. Late October is NOT advised.

Take away: Stick with an annual Update schedule to align with college IT and Admissions peak periods.
