<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A quick follow up on the message I shared below. This is the GSMS Phase 1 implementation timeline. As TA Online is being replaced by the new system, moving forward, all fall appointment letters will be issued in GSMS. TA Online letters
will be disabled starting fall 2025, but options for reporting access after TA Online is disabled is being explored. Communication will be coming soon to staff on testing and training (see rollout dates below). Your attention to this transition is greatly
appreciated. Please let me know if there are any questions.<o:p></o:p></p>
