The Student Information System Services (SISS) team provides development support to all Universities of Wisconsin campuses. Our developers create and maintain central applications used by all campuses. We also have developers who are dedicated to specific campus partners.

Central Applications Maintenance Release Schedule
We are utilizing a maintenance release schedule for our central applications. Instead of releasing individual fixes and improvements on an ad-hoc basis, we’ll bundle items together and release them in a more structured timeline. This approach will help us deliver improvements more consistently while minimizing disruptions to each application. It also provides clearer timelines for campuses and gives us a better way to prioritize and plan more effectively. All applications included in our Detailed Central Applications Service Catalog (above) will follow this schedule.
Maintenance Release Schedule
Starting in September 2025:
- Central applications that have maintenance work completed will be released on the first Monday of each month.
- If the first Monday is a legal holiday, we will release the next available business day.
- These releases will mainly include non-urgent items that have been identified.
- If high-level issues are identified, they will be addressed on an ad-hoc basis.
To view items ready for an application’s next maintenance release:
- Incidents: SIS Team’s Reported Bugs Dashboard
- Service Requests: SIS Team’s Enhancement Requests Dashboard

Frequently Asked Questions
How will I know where my ticket is at progress wise?
We are utilizing the ticket Status field to note the progress a ticket has. Here is a breakdown of what each ticket status means with respect to the development cycle:
Note: Incidents and Service Requests have different Status values available for use – you can determine if your ticket is an Incident or a Service Request based on the prefix (IN vs SR)
| Ticket Type | Ticket Status | Development Cycle Status |
|---|---|---|
| Incident (IN ######) | Logged : Active : Waiting on Resolution** : Resolved/Closed : | Items that are waiting to be developed Development in progress Development completed, waiting for the official version release Development version released |
| Service Request (SR #####) | Submitted : Active : Pending Approval** : Fulfilled/Closed : | Items that are waiting to be developed Development in progress Development completed, waiting for the official version release Development version released |
** When a development item is completed but is awaiting its official release, you will be able to view the version it will be released in at the start of the description of your request. **
