In my opinion and experience, a person that hasn't registered as student or staff can't have access to the resources that your university has; and if you create a portal that gives access to students that are not formally students...

Morris" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 30 May 2013 08:46:43 -0500 Has anyone had experience implementing a student portal that gives students access to resources in advance of the semester in which the students are actually taking classes? Did you have issues because the students are not technically current students? Did you have issues with students gaming the system by registering, checking out books, downloading lots of stuff from your databases, and then disappearing? Did you feel that giving students access before they are current students was a violation of your contracts? We are working on implementing a portal before the end of the year and would like to identify potential issues prior to that.
