Cornell University joined Kuali in 2005 as one of the original KFS partners. Since then, Cornell has been heavily invovled in KFS, KC and Rice development, and is one of the first schools to start using Kuali Rice in production. Cornell is currently running Rice 0.9.2.1, and has developed a number of KNS based applications:

  1. HR Data Access Request - request for access to various central HR systems
  2. Student Data Access Request - request for access to various central Student systems
  3. Financial Data Access Request - request for access to various central Financial systems
  4. Confidentiality Agreement Form - a non-disclosure that requests sign-off by individuals who get access to secure data; this one must be signed-off on first before users can obtain data access in the forms listed above
  5. Business Service Center management system - two maintenance documents/lookups/inquiries to manage information about our business service centers on campus; this data is used by a reusable workflow rule that will route to the appropriate BSC for processing and approval based upon financial account responsibilities
  6. General Purpose Workflow Document - a simple text area on a maintenance document that allows for ad hoc routing; also allows for supervisor routing which is a reusable rule that calls a web service produced from our central HR system

Cornell began their KFS implementation project in 2009, and plans to have most modules in production by July 2011. Cornell is also planning to implement KC in the coming years.
