Animal services inventory, scheduling, and care systems
Generally, large mission-critical systems that cross organizational boundaries are subject to all procedures described in Policy 200-45 and all standards in the Campus Administrative Computing Plan. They are generally referred to as "Tier 1" systems. Other systems are subject to a subset of policies, as detailed in the Administrative Computing Plan.

Administrative Computing Systems at UC Davis, belong to one of the three following categories.

  1. Tier 1 Systems

    These systems usually cross organizational boundaries and are critical to the ability of the university to deliver education, administrate research, plan, or meet its business and regulatory obligations. A system may be a member of this group if a significant liability to the university would result should the data the system contains be compromised.

    Currently, Tier 1 systems include:

    • Financial Systems and Asset Management
      General Ledger
      Budget
      Asset Management
      Procurement
      Extramural accounting
      Payroll (managed by UCOP)
      Accounts payable
      Accounts receivable
      Decision Support

    • Student Information
      Undergraduate Admissions
      Central Graduate Admissions status
      Financial Aid
      Student Records
      Degree Audit
      Class Scheduling

    • Personnel (managed by UCOP)
      Core employee database
      Provision management

    • Research
      Sponsored research applications and awards

    • University Relations
      Alumni Information
      Campus Gift Processing, Regulatory Compliance, and Reporting
      Gift Prospect and Constituent Management
      UCD Presents/Cultural Programs & Center for the Arts Management
      Campus Corporate and Foundation Relationships Management

    • Information Technology's campus computing security, network, email, communications, and other critical databases

    • Network security

    • Medical Center -- responsibility delegated to Medical Center Director

    • Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital -- responsibility delegated to hospital director

    • Library -- responsibility delegated to Librarian

    While the campus does not manage the payroll/personnel system, processes for interfacing with the system and contributing requirements and enhancement specifications should follow Tier 1 procedures.

  2. Tier 2 Systems

    These systems are used to manage the functional responsibilities of a unit, and may cross organizational boundaries, but are not as critical to the mission of the university as Tier 1 systems.

    Currently, Tier 2 systems include:

    • Systems that generate data transfers to Tier 1 systems (e.g. service department billing systems)

    • Office of Research databases for grant application and awards, technology transfer, and sponsored research.

    • Current independent (and future integrated) physical planning and management systems (land use and facilities GIS, floorplans, facilities inventory, etc.)

    • Instructional Activity Information System

    • Provost's faculty database

    • Event Scheduling

    • Campus web site

    • University Extension enrollment/student system

    • Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital systems

    • Veterinary Medicine Diagnostic Laboratory Services

    • Critical Health and Safety Systems:
      Police security information
      Fire equipment location and controls
      Animal services inventory, scheduling, and care systems, Environmental Health and Safety hazardous substance location and activity records

    • Maintenance scheduling

    • Capital project management

    • Student Health Center medical records

    • Counseling Center student records

    • Affirmative Action/Diversity

    • Employee recruitment system

    • Technology Transfer

    • Contract administration

    • Patent records

    • Human subject research

    • Training and development

    • Animal Services

    • Farm services

    • Risk assessment

    • Loss tracking

    • Insurance policies and pools

    • Employee benefit management

    • Legal Affairs case inventory and status

    • Student Affairs and ASUCD major business operations systems (bookstore inventory, Coffee House sales, housing inventory, etc.)

    • Other campus systems of similar scope and importance

  3. Tier 3 Systems

    These systems are used for minor functional activities and the internal business management of units. They are small systems, generally used only within a department, that are used for internal management or for managing services to other units that do not create potential significant liabilities to the campus.

    Full responsibility for the library and UCDMC computing systems are delegated to the Campus Librarian and the Director of the Medical Center, respectively. They are not subject to this section.
