	•User fair in March in the Newcomb Hall Ballroom to see the applications and have the opportunity to ask questions.
	•User acceptance testing: central users and some power users
	•Why May 2004? When we looked at when we could go live with the upgrade, all but two months were eliminated because of year end, fiscal year end, people leaving at the end of May, people returning in September, and the sun and moon being in alignment for payrolls. May and October were our two choices, and scheduling dictated that we choose May.

	•There will be about a week-long cutover period when we will not be able to do any transactions in the system. You will begin hearing in January how to prepare for this time and how transactions will be handled during the cutover period.
