1. Outdated campus address on Care / myCampus documents
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Care/myCampus-generated documents (transcripts, immatriculation certificates) showed incorrect or inconsistent campus/address information: documents sometimes displayed an old postal address or a full street address rather than the required city-only, the campus field was missing for some students or duplicated for others, and some templates contained unwanted contact details in the footer. Additionally, certificate generation lacked program-length limits (allowing creation for any semester) and related student-data fields or program-family mappings for new products (e.g., DMSD) were not populated or not yet live.

Solution

The campus/address problems were resolved by updating the campus address record in Care/myCampus and correcting how the campus/address was rendered on documents so the campus line displayed the configured city-only value (e.g., “Berlin”, “Augsburg”) rather than the full street address. The document template was adjusted to remove contact details from the footer. A duplicate-campus display bug and cases where the campus was omitted were fixed in the document generation logic so the campus appears once and consistently for affected students. Document generation was restricted to valid program lengths by implementing semester/ECTS limits (standardized to 6 semesters = 180 ECTS or 7 semesters = 210 ECTS where applicable). For the new DMSD product, it was noted that the MyCampus program-family mapping had not been published before go‑live and that the Care financial-tab field “gewünschtes Studienmodell” was not being populated; these gaps were tracked as data/mapping items to be completed before product activation. Changes were applied in the system and rechecked to confirm corrected addresses, template footer, campus display, and generation limits on subsequently produced immatriculation certificates.

2. Password resets and first-time login failures due to missing or incorrect institutional email
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users could not sign in to myCampus/myLIBF or access Moodle content, reporting errors such as “invalid credentials”, “username or password wrong”, STUDY_INFO_NO_ACCESS, missing or expired activation/password‑reset links, or non‑receipt of reset/activation emails. Failures affected first‑time activation and password‑reset flows and included locked/blocked/forced‑reset accounts, unpaired SSO vs local accounts, missing second‑factor registration, and username/email mismatches (private vs IU addresses, alias/plus‑address anomalies). Upstream provisioning/attribute synchronization delays and SSO provider changes (for example an Auth0 migration) sometimes changed the required username format (full e‑mail vs short username) or produced access denial for specific student statuses (for example Exmatrikuliert (ohne Abschluss)). Mailbox delivery, forwarding, or backend e‑mail‑send failures, and password‑manager or browser autofill of outdated credentials produced additional authentication and reset failures.

Solution

Support restored access after establishing each user’s myCampus/EPOS account state and which credential the service required (local myCampus password vs SSO/Azure/Okta/Auth0). Missing or unregistered accounts were created in EPOS and activation/password‑assignment flows were triggered; activation and reset messages were resent and correct usernames were provided when format differences (full e‑mail vs username) were observed. Investigation of login failures included checking SSO provider changes — an Auth0 migration was identified as the cause in some cases, and impacted students were informed that they could sign in with their myCampus username when email-format authentication had changed. When reset messages were not received because the contact address was incorrect (typos, legacy/private addresses, alias/plus‑address anomalies, forwarding, or duplicate/omitted external addresses), support replaced the contact with the user’s IU address or a working alias in EPOS/CARE/LPA/PowerApps/Oktave and retriggered delivery; repeated reversion was traced to upstream provisioning/sync and resolved with upstream fixes or temporary sync pauses. Locked, blocked, or forced‑reset flags were cleared and Okta/Auth0 resets or backend pairing steps were performed when users could not self‑reset due to no registered second factor or unpaired SSO accounts. Support confirmed that passwords changed in Okta/Azure did not update local myCampus passwords where no integration existed, so affected users either used a myCampus reset or support set a local password. Deliveries and retries were repeated until receipt was confirmed; administrators located and fixed backend/system e‑mail send errors when present. When e‑mail confirmation failed despite correct addresses, support manually updated EPOS and myCampus (sometimes repeating the update when the first change did not persist), resent confirmation messages, provided alternate safe‑links or temporary credentials when resets were delivered to an inaccessible mailbox, and inspected which mailbox view/client received messages (for example IU Outlook app vs 360 view or macOS Mail) to diagnose forwarding or client‑specific delivery. Role and group gaps were resolved by assigning or mirroring myCampus roles and Oktave/myCampus group membership; when Moodle content was missing support retriggered the Moodle integration job (gedoodelt), ran Moodle sync/provisioning and activated users so STUDY_INFO_NO_ACCESS and missing course materials were restored. Transient UI, language or rendering failures were resolved by clearing browser cache/cookies and testing alternate or incognito browsers; password managers and browser auto‑translate had been observed to autofill outdated credentials and produce repeated invalid‑credential errors. Support confirmed and communicated whether a service required authentication using the full e‑mail address when that format was enforced. For new students or cases requiring student‑facing escalation, tickets were routed to the student techsupport queue (Salesforce “Techsupport” or techsupport@iu.org). Where available, account logs were used to confirm successful sign‑in after remediation.

3. Duplicate/archived accounts, domain mismatches and stale cached data causing account lockouts or wrong account selection
93% confidence
Problem Pattern

Stale, duplicated or inconsistent identity and provisioning data across Okta/Auth0, EPOS/CARE, LDAP and myCampus caused authentication failures, wrong-account selection and missing permissions. Users reported portal errors (for example “Baustelle – etwas ist schiefgegangen”), repeated SSO prompts, account‑locked messages, access‑denied pages or STUDY_INFO_NO_ACCESS responses (for example “keine Buchungsinformationen verfügbar”), duplicate or archived profiles surfacing, missing start‑screen tabs, empty attendance lists or unrelated class dashboards. Name/display mismatches, malformed UPNs (special characters) and missing EPOS/CARE attributes (notably AcademyID or login‑name) produced downstream sync failures and lookup confusion. Problems appeared on desktop and mobile browsers (including Safari).

Solution

Support restored canonical identities, reconciled duplicate or archived employee/student profiles and repaired downstream provisioning so permissions, enrollments and UI options matched the intended account. Authoritative profiles (primary AcademyID) were reactivated and enrollments, role memberships and course assignments were reassigned so timetables, attendance lists and instructor views returned; duplicate/archived accounts that produced stale dashboards or “no student status” indicators were removed or merged and submission visibility (Turnitin/Bongo) and CMaaS/PebblePad access were restored. Okta/Auth0 profile attributes (including displayName) and username/UPN/email formats were corrected (problematic characters removed/renamed) so SSO routed to the correct myCampus instance and downstream lookups resolved. Missing or malformed EPOS/CARE token attributes (notably AcademyID and login‑name) were restored; EPOS→LDAP/CARE synchronizations and provisioning jobs were rerun so LDAP entries and SSO tokens contained required fields; CARE group memberships and myCampus roles were reconciled to restore student/staff views and missing start‑screen tabs. When database inconsistencies blocked logins, critical rows (for example WEB_USER_DETAIL) were reinserted or recreated and related stored procedures (PACK_WEB.comWebUserDetail and equivalents) were rerun; accounts were recreated when synchronization state was irrecoverable so fresh provisioning and correct role mappings applied. Session, password and cache anomalies were cleared by issuing password resets to the canonical account, clearing stuck sessions/tokens/cookies and forcing full sign‑outs. Environment issues that broke Okta/myCampus handshakes (incorrect local system time, VPN/domain‑controller connectivity, off‑network password changes) were remediated. Salesforce/CARE merge conflicts and duplicate external address entries that caused redirect or sync loops were corrected. In several cases support corrected stale backend identity records and reported that identity changes required a short propagation window (typically 5–10 minutes) before the user could successfully sign in. Support used impersonation (login‑as) to reproduce failures, unlocked locked accounts, and escalated to provisioning or application specialists when root causes were outside the portal team’s scope. When the affected identity was a student and remediation was outside the portal team’s remit, reporters were directed to Study‑Support (techsupport@iu.org) for reactivation or student‑account processes. Incorrect IT Service/Jira ticket types that triggered automated termination‑date changes were identified and corrected; affected termination‑date changes were reverted where appropriate. These repairs restored Application Manager visibility, participant lists and submission visibility, Microsoft Teams group membership, tutor/unit selection and unit‑targeted mailing, and removed portal failures caused by missing DB rows, stale enrollment flags or LDAP/CARE/EPOS token errors.

4. Missing community permissions or role rights prevented access to schedules and Info Center editing
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users experienced missing or disabled myCampus features and visible UI omissions across web and app views: absent Info‑Center pages or publishing controls, missing dashboard courses or widgets (monthly calendar/lecture schedules), disabled course‑level functions (iCal/ICS downloads, participant exports) and incomplete participant lists. Some users encountered authentication failures, login loops or missing password‑reset emails; others saw Care connection errors (“Allgemeine Fehler bei der Verbindung zu Care”) or application‑specific messages such as “not recognized as Dozent” when opening preference forms (for example in PowerApps). Affected systems included myCampus (classic and 2.0), DMSD/Info‑Center, CARE/EPOS provisioning, LDAP/Okta, AC5/Moodle sync, PowerApps and payment/frontend integrations; language‑specific menu omissions and missing Payments/Finanzen views were also reported.

Solution

Access and visibility incidents were resolved by restoring correct provisioning, community memberships and role assignments across CARE/EPOS, LDAP/Okta and downstream synchronisations. Support teams compared affected accounts with working colleagues, corrected CARE/EPOS community and location/group mappings, enabled required permission flags (for example community‑access/dozent and per‑course editor flags), fixed account mappings, consolidated duplicate accounts and re‑provisioned impacted myCampus accounts; changes propagated immediately, after the next scheduled sync (~24 hours), or after manual re‑provisioning. A per‑user AcID refresh script restored missing dashboard widgets (including the monthly calendar) in some cases. Authentication failures, login loops and missing password‑reset emails cleared after affected CARE accounts were unblocked and CARE→LDAP/Okta propagation completed. Preference‑editing failures and PowerApps forms that showed “not recognized as Dozent” were traced to missing lecturer/community flags in CARE/EPOS and cleared after those flags and mappings were restored and the account was re‑provisioned. When automatic enrolment or synchronisation failed, manual enrolments or short re‑provisioning restored course access; courses absent because Course Management had not assigned them became visible after assignment. Specialist teams created Info‑Center courses and set read/write permissions via the Academia on Campus / Fachteam workflow for academic H5P or hosting requests when end users could not publish or broadly share content themselves. A developer fix corrected a participant‑export/display bug that omitted participants for a duplicate course instance. Transient web‑client UI glitches (for example unresponsive buttons while timetables loaded) were sometimes resolved by session refreshes, clearing cookies or switching browsers. Language‑specific omissions were fixed by restoring DMSD/myCampus language mappings or content availability for the affected language view. Support escalations to Course Management or the subject (Fach) team verified whether missing menu items or view‑switch functions were intentionally unavailable for a user’s role; where no additional permissions were required, users were advised accordingly. Permission and role changes occasionally required manager approval before support applied assignments; recorded approvals were used to grant equivalent permissions to match colleagues where requested. For missing Payments (Finanzen) UI, teams identified that the Payments frontend visibility was gated by Growthbook feature flags and program/tenant mappings: enabling the appropriate Growthbook flag and ensuring the payment‑frontend ↔ myStudium mapping restored the Payments tab in affected myCampus classic and 2.0 views. For Care connection errors and missing exam/OneDrive metadata, teams found missing community access was the root cause: restoring community access cleared the displayed error (“Allgemeine Fehler bei der Verbindung zu Care”), re‑enabled attendance and grade entry screens, restored sickness notifications, corrected exam modality and returned exam date/time/location and OneDrive upload visibility where applicable. In a few incidents support observed external IT‑portal emails were rejected while accounts lacked proper mappings; these email delivery issues cleared after account mappings and provisioning were corrected.

5. Course sessions missing from myCampus timetable due to Care session publishing status and iCal export
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students and staff reported courses or individual course sessions missing from myCampus timetable views, course pages, participant lists and .ics calendar feeds while items sometimes remained visible on the Dashboard. Symptoms included empty-timetable messages (e.g. “There is currently no appointment for this lecture series and the selected period”), missing Register/Upload controls, truncated/invalid iCal tokens causing .ics import failures, and calendar exports limited to an upcoming ~180‑day horizon. Visibility gaps were cohort-, semester- or quarter-specific, and some new myCampus timetable views remained empty for up to 24 hours after first login. In one case an AC5 synchronization bug failed to trigger a calendar sync, leaving correctly enrolled students without tutor appointments despite published CARE events.

Solution

Investigations found multiple distinct causes for missing courses/sessions and visibility gaps in myCampus; each cause produced characteristic symptoms and was resolved by a specific corrective action or developer change. Resolved causes and what fixed them:

• Timetable UI display bug: A developer-level bug caused some items to appear on the Dashboard but be omitted from the Lehrveranstaltungen/timetable view; applying the developer fix restored timetable visibility for affected students and cohorts.

• AC5 → calendar synchronization bug: An AC5 sync process had failed to trigger a downstream myCampus calendar synchronization. A backend fix re-enabled the calendar trigger and a re-run of the sync restored tutor appointments and calendar entries.

• New timetable-view initial sync delays: New myCampus timetable views sometimes required up to ~24 hours to synchronize after first login. Views that stayed empty beyond that window required central-administration/developer investigation to resolve dataset- or view-specific sync faults.

• Incorrect appointment/target-group assignment: Appointments created or assigned only to the wrong lecture series or target groups caused cohort-wide invisibility; correcting the appointment’s lecture/target-group assignment made events visible to the intended cohort.

• Unpublished or teaching-disabled sessions: Sessions that were not marked published or had teaching disabled were excluded from CARE exports and myCampus displays; restoring published/teaching states caused controls, participant lists and timetable entries to reappear after normal propagation delays (typically ~60 minutes, occasionally several hours).

• Missing enrollment or course activation: Accounts lacking CARE enrollment or courses not teaching-activated produced empty timetables or inaccessible course pages; restoring enrollment/activation restored visibility.

• Booking/registration visibility and published-offer enforcement: Missing Register/booking buttons or disabled enrol controls were traced to platform rules: bookings outside the PMS booking window, cohort/program-level booking restrictions, multi-booking ownership or target-group mismatches, and — specifically in myCampus — the absence of a published course offer. Creating or publishing the missing offer or correcting booking ownership/target groups restored enrol/booking controls.

• iCal token and calendar-import issues: Invalid, truncated or incomplete tokens in iCal URLs caused Outlook/browser imports to fail and produced token errors in myCampus; supplying the complete iCal URL (full token) produced valid .ics downloads/subscriptions.

• Calendar horizon and client UI effects: External calendar exports intentionally included only an upcoming horizon (typically ~180 days), explaining absent historical or distant-future events. An Outlook Split View UI setting was observed to hide imported myCampus calendars from the calendar view while the feed remained listed — disabling that view restored visibility in affected clients.

• Discovery/LernApp and release status: Items not released/published in Discovery/LernApp were not returned in search results; publishing the item made it discoverable to users with Discovery access regardless of enrollment.

• Semester and quarter scheduling behaviors: Participant rosters and timetable visibility were semester-dependent (current-semester lists appeared from semester start dates). An older CARE module lacking quarter (Quartals) scheduling support prevented quarter-structured courses from appearing in some timetable views; affected courses required either a CARE module update or alternate views, and participant lists could be obtained via the myCampus "Teilnehmerübersicht" when necessary.

Across these cases, fixes consisted of applying the developer timetable UI fix, repairing AC5→calendar sync triggers and re-running syncs, correcting appointment assignments and booking ownership/target groups, restoring published/enabled teaching state and CARE enrollments/activations, providing complete iCal tokens, publishing Discovery items, and accounting for the calendar horizon and client-UI behaviors. Most changes required normal propagation time to appear in myCampus and external feeds.

6. Duplicate file entries in IU files manager blocked student document access
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users reported inability to view or open documents in MyCampus (classic and 2.0) and duplicate or unexpected file entries in MyCampus and integrated course storage. Symptoms included “access denied” errors when opening downloaded PDFs, uploaded files disappearing or reappearing after deletion, and duplicate listing entries — including duplicate submissions shown in the Turnitin submissions view. Affected systems included the local IU files manager, integrated GDrive course folders, MyCampus 2.0 file delivery, and third-party plugins (Turnitin); some incidents coincided with cohort/course assignments or external backup restores.

Solution

Support incidents were resolved by removing duplicate or unwanted file records and replacing corrupted file objects in the relevant storage layer, or by escalating plugin-specific duplicates to the responsible vendor team. Local storage fixes: duplicate entries in the local_iu_files_manager were deleted and corrupted file objects were replaced which restored student access to affected materials (for example, the Studienjahresablaufplan). GDrive-integrated courses: administrators removed duplicated/unwanted files from course folders that had been repeatedly restored by external backups, after which lecturer uploads and student access returned to normal. MyCampus 2.0 file delivery: an affected workbook that produced “access denied” on open was re-uploaded and students cleared browser cookies and re‑logged-in before re-downloading; after re-upload and session refresh the PDF opened correctly. Turnitin/plugin duplicates: when duplicate submissions appeared in the Turnitin (turnitintooltwo) submissions view, support collected screenshots and the submissions URL and forwarded the case to the Turnitin/plugin specialist team for investigation and remediation, as the issue originated in the plugin rather than the local file store. Across incidents, notes recorded whether cohort/course assignment changes or external backup restores coincided with the symptom set.

7. External application (ScreenPal) access moved from myCampus to Okta
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users opening courses or externally hosted learning tools via the institutional portal experienced broken or missing navigation elements, unexpected redirects, 'Page not found' or 'veraltete Anfrage' errors, silent failures where embedded external apps did not load, or access‑denied messages. Portal navigation sometimes failed while portal search or direct URLs worked, and previously stored/bookmarked links occasionally stopped working after provisioning or migration changes. Affected systems included the portal UI/navigation, identity/group provisioning (Okta/Azure AD/Entra ID), Learn365/Moodle course configuration and group restrictions, and third‑party application licensing, account provisioning, or vendor‑hosted authentication.

Solution

Support isolated missing external-application or course content access to a small set of causes and acted according to the responsible subsystem. Identity or group provisioning issues were resolved by inspecting the Learn365 Admin Center and APIs (/groupRestrictions and /services/users/v2/Groups/{groupID}), correcting missing or incorrect group entries, resynchronising dynamic and Entra ID guest groups, and adding affected users to the required Okta/Azure AD access groups or granting direct LMS group membership; access was then confirmed. LMS/course configuration and group-restriction problems were resolved by reviewing the legacy Moodle view, restoring missing external tool links where owners were responsible, and escalating PebblePad/Turnitin cases to the examinations/assessment office. Atlas/PebblePad redirect reports were forwarded to the specialist tool team; the team confirmed the redirect as an intentional 'link-activity' implementation and requested usage statistics from reporters. When portal navigation tabs were missing, reprovisioning via automation and clearing browser cache/cookies restored tabs in multiple incidents. When links were absent but portal search or direct URLs worked, support supplied direct links or routed requests to the owning application team. For services that required separate vendor licensing or invitations, support identified the service owner and either routed users or, where in remit, assigned licenses and sent vendor invites; users accepted invitations and gained access. For external content that returned access‑denied errors, support coordinated with resource owners to update permissions or re-share resources. For account migrations, deactivations, or vendor‑hosted authentication failures, support confirmed account status and routed users to the application vendor or owner for recovery or credential resets where appropriate. Reports also showed previously stored/bookmarked URLs sometimes stopped working after portal or provisioning changes; support advised users to use the portal-provided link and, for vendor-hosted portals, to use the vendor 'forgot my password' workflow or escalate to vendor support (for example Coastline Solutions) when vendor-managed authentication prevented login. Technicians performed local refreshes (for example F8/system refresh) and cache/cookie clears in some cases; where upstream outages or retired applications were implicated, specialist teams restored service or users were informed and referred to product owners. Tickets were completed after users were routed to the correct provisioning or application owner or after group entries and syncs were corrected and access was confirmed.

8. Enrolled courses not appearing on myCampus dashboard due to course visibility set to hidden
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

MyCampus/MyCampus 2.0 dashboard modules, active course lists, Info‑Center entries, or course materials were missing or inaccessible despite enrollments/bookings recorded in Registrar/PMS, CARE, or an LMS. Reported symptoms included blank dashboards showing only the front page or calendar, courses listed as "not bookable" (preventing self‑enrolment), courses visible to instructors but invisible to students, items appearing only after switching site language, and instructors unable to upload materials. Common triggers included upstream courses not published, course or Info‑Center visibility set to hidden/inactive, restrictions to specific study programs or site languages, role‑based permission or CARE group membership differences, future start dates, versioning/bridge instance mismatches, and upload/file‑size limits. Affected systems included myCampus (Multibooker), myStudium/Info‑Center, CARE/Care 9.1, Registrar/PMS, LMS (e.g., Lms365), IU Learn, and Teams.

Solution

Support reproduced affected views using technician logins and VLR checks and confirmed enrollments/bookings where applicable. Investigations repeatedly identified one or more root causes: the myStudium Info‑Center item or myCampus course record was unpublished/hidden or set to inactive; the course had not been published in the upstream Course Management system so it appeared inactive in myCampus; visibility had been restricted to particular study programs or a specific site language; role‑based permission differences or missing CARE group membership prevented some accounts (for example tutor‑only accounts) from seeing or uploading to the course; the course start date was in the future; a versioning/bridge change created a new course instance while materials or enrollments remained attached to a different instance; or an upload/file‑size limit on the myCampus course blocked instructor uploads. In one LMS case the course’s booking/enrolment flag in the LMS (Lms365) was disabled — support verified there were no technical configuration errors and the requester was directed to the HR team that manages LMS bookings (people-projects@iu.org) to enable booking. Incidents were resolved by making the upstream course record and the myCampus/Info‑Center item visible to the affected cohort and site language (for example publishing the course in the local Course Management system and enabling the English Info‑Center view), switching course status from inactive to active, aligning materials and enrollments with the same course instance or moving students to the active version, adding instructors to the appropriate CARE group and adjusting course role permissions so tutor/docent accounts had upload access, increasing the upload‑size limit where required, and enabling LMS booking where the LMS flag had been disabled. Changes to Info‑Center visibility and Course Management → myCampus synchronization relied on background synchronization and typically took around 1–2 days to propagate to students’ MyCampus dashboards; after propagation affected courses, dashboard modules, menu entries, and related IU Learn textbook availability became visible to students.

9. Visible course link with no downloadable materials because lecture-series folder was empty
93% confidence
Problem Pattern

MyCampus (MC Classic/MC 2.0), local MyCampus pages and the Learn app sometimes showed missing or inaccessible course materials. Reported symptoms included blank or empty embedded frames, “Page not found” for embedded myStudium/Care guides, indefinite loading/spinners, read‑only PDFs replacing interactive content, misleading “no course content” messages in the Learn Overview, upload errors such as “No lecture series could be found,” and incomplete or invisible audio transcripts. Affected items included video recordings, downloads, external module targets, and instructor‑only documents across Classic and MC 2.0.

Solution

Investigations found multiple distinct root causes for MyCampus/MC 2.0 and Learn app pages showing no downloadable or interactive materials or failing to load; each incident was closed after the course‑specific root cause and ownership were identified. Key findings and what resolved each case included:

• Empty or missing lecture/lecture‑series folders: courses with no instructor uploads produced empty embedded frames and “no content” appearances; visibility was restored after the lecture‑series folder received content (a temporary instructor upload reproduced and confirmed the fix).

• Deleted or missing course uploads on object storage: one course failed because its upload had been deleted from AWS S3; restoring the missing object(s) to S3 and addressing the deletion source restored affected pages.

• Misplaced content between MC Classic and MC 2.0 galleries: recordings or files uploaded into the Classic Course Feed instead of the MC 2.0 Video Gallery were visible only in Classic; moving or re‑publishing files into the correct gallery or notifying owners restored access.

• Course types without default scripts: some course types relied on lecture‑series materials to display content; adding or restoring the expected lecture‑series materials returned normal behavior.

• Lecture‑series name collisions and broken folder mappings: renaming colliding lecture‑series folders to unique semester names and re‑syncing folder mappings restored visibility and upload capability.

• Content owner replacements or deletions: broken links traced to departmental replacements or removals; returning ownership or re‑linking by content owners resolved the broken references.

• Missing language translations for instructor content: instructor‑only documents were absent in language‑specific views when translations did not exist; the Academia/administration team provided/published translations to restore visibility.

• myStudium/Care community content and formatting issues: locally embedded guides that failed with “page not found” or showed inconsistent formatting were repaired by replacing and re‑publishing the guide in the myStudium Care community and removing problematic formatting/highlights.

• TEAQ book rendering differences: where MC 2.0 showed read‑only PDFs while MC Classic showed interactive scripts, re‑rendering affected TEAQ books restored interactive/annotatable content.

• Malformed or duplicate nodes in exported course scripts: indefinite loading and broken script content were resolved by removing invalid/duplicate nodes and performing fresh export and deployment.

• Links targeted into the CARE iframe: links configured to open inside CARE prevented external systems from loading and could show login prompts; changing targets to open externally (where editable) removed iframe blockage and allowed external pages to load.

• Invalid Moodle module IDs and unreachable external resources: “Invalid Course ID” errors were traced to external integration changes that made module targets unreachable; remediation involved coordinating with integration teams and content owners to restore or re‑link missing resources so module targets became valid.

• Learn app Overview tab false negatives and frontend UI bugs: cases where the Learn app Overview tab reported “no course content” while material was accessible via other Learn tabs were triaged to the Learn app/frontend team for correction.

• Audio transcript rendering/display issues in MC 2.0 and the Learn app: affected courses showed incomplete or invisible audio transcripts; the myCampus 2 team investigated and reported a fix on 2024-07-25.

Reproducing issues via user impersonation in Classic and MC 2.0 was frequently used to verify visibility differences before and after remediation; each closed incident documented the cause, the ownership handoff, and the action that restored access.

10. Missing instructor module on MyCampus caused by delayed CARE→MyCampus synchronization
94% confidence
Problem Pattern

Authoritative course, curriculum and account records originating in CARE/EPOS/PIM sometimes failed to propagate fully or consistently to myCampus/myCampus2/Info Centre/Moodle. Scheduled or background semester/quarter‑start synchronizations or the PIM→myCampus interface occasionally produced incomplete, duplicate, malformed or stale records and metadata (for example, incorrect exam execution type flags), leaving courses inactive, participant lists and Student ID pages empty, instructors absent from course groups, or UI elements showing unavailable options. Affected systems included CARE, EPOS, PIM, middleware/VLR, MyCampus/myCampus2 and Moodle; errors were often silent and manifested as hidden/duplicate listings, implausible data values, or inconsistent UI vs backend state (e.g., an exam option visible but registration blocked).

Solution

Incidents were resolved after authoritative identifiers, study‑plan and course data and corrected curricular configurations from CARE/EPOS/PIM had fully propagated to myCampus/myCampus2 and after removing or repairing malformed local records that blocked synchronizations. Remediations that reproduced fixes across cases included: re‑exporting and repopulating EPOS study‑plans and PIM course records to complete transfers; correcting anomalous ECTS allocations in CARE; repairing or re‑linking broken CARE IDs and ownership/migration flags; and fixing archived or inactive instructor accounts so role assignments could flow. Where CARE entries and Lehrauftrag existed but did not propagate, manually assigning instructors to the myCampus course group restored instructor presence. Duplicate or malformed study‑plan/study‑progress entries and messy booking records (multi‑booker, malformed VLR/foyer entries) were cleaned or consolidated when they produced duplicate listings or prevented registration. When Moodle synchronization was relevant, Sync A5 and/or Sync5 jobs were executed (sometimes multiple runs) and authoritative out‑of‑cycle or scheduled quarter/semester‑start syncs completed to repopulate participant lists, timetables and dashboards; triggering a VLR synchronization or manually creating missing planning groups (Planungsgruppen) in myCampus also restored course activation and visibility in several term‑start incidents. When automatic background syncs failed, operations applied manual per‑case backfills/resynchronizations and, where required, recreated, restored, unenrolled and re‑enrolled enrollment records; stray module/course folder entries and duplicate course records were deactivated, renamed or deleted to remove duplicate listings and module‑open failures. Newer incidents also showed that the PIM→myCampus2 interface sometimes served stale or out‑of‑sync metadata (for example, an outdated "Exam Execution Type" flag), causing myCampus2 to display invalid exam options that could not be registered for. Those cases were resolved after confirming the source state in PIM, causing myCampus2 to re‑consume or repopulate the PIM course record, and correcting or removing the misaligned local myCampus2 metadata so the UI reflected the authoritative PIM state. Operational observations noted that participant lists and Student ID pages frequently remained empty until a student’s first myCampus login or until authoritative syncs completed, and that temporary UI/session remedies (logout/login, browser cache clear) sometimes surfaced changes after a completed sync or Moodle sync job.

11. MyCampus calendar/timetable dates hidden by narrow UI, browser zoom or Windows display scaling
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

MyCampus Classic calendar/timetable UI elements (day/date labels, day selector widget, embedded iframe controls, and course participant/appointment lists) were missing, clipped, or invisible. Reported symptoms included absent day dates or week/date-range labels, a missing day-selector widget at viewport widths below 768px, iframe buttons/fields appearing cut off, and course participant/appointment lists missing in the month view while remaining visible in the week view. Triggers included constrained horizontal space (narrow windows or expanded menus), elevated browser zoom, Windows display scaling (e.g., 150% affected visibility), or a CSS styling issue in the white theme that made the calendar icon invisible. The issue affected mycampus.iubh.de (MyCampus Classic), including users redirected from MyCampus 2; native MyCampus 2.0 instances were not directly impacted.

Solution

Resolutions depended on the underlying cause. For cases caused by constrained horizontal space or UI clipping, calendar/timetable labels and clipped iframe content were restored after horizontal space or UI scaling was reduced; reported fixes included collapsing the main/left menu, resizing the browser window, reducing browser zoom, or lowering Windows display scaling (examples: switching from 150% to 125% or 100%). The mobile-breakpoint case where the calendar widget disappeared at viewport widths below 768px was traced to an incorrect CSS color in the white theme; correcting that CSS color value restored the widget. In several incidents missing elements were restored after clearing the browser cache and cookies or by using a different browser, although cache clearing did not resolve all reports (notably some Chrome cases). For incidents where the participant/appointment list next to courses disappeared in the month view, switching the calendar from Month to Week view restored the participant/appointment list and access to participant email addresses. Support checks confirmed no server-side service issues for affected cases; native MyCampus 2.0 instances were not directly impacted.

12. Provisioning and registration of Zoom virtual lecture rooms in myCampus
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users were unable to access virtual lecture rooms and the course-management 'Lehrverwaltung' module in MyCampus/CARE, preventing joining scheduled Zoom sessions, viewing participant lists, and uploading lecture materials. Symptoms included missing site-specific virtual rooms or facility/location lists, scheduled courses or VR rooms not appearing in an instructor's MyCampus view, and mismatched Zoom join URLs between lecturer and student views. The 'Lehrverwaltung' menu could be temporarily unavailable due to transient service outages or application faults. Triggers included missing or incorrect Zoom registrations/links, facility-list or menu-default mismatches (FS/DS), missing CARE group assignments or sync delays, and application-level faults or service outages.

Solution

Technicians provisioned and registered Zoom lecture meetings and ensured each myCampus/CARE facility entry stored the correct Zoom join URL so rooms could be reserved and used in scheduled events. Site-specific work included creating and registering rooms with consistent naming and stored join links (examples: Magdeburg — 5 rooms; Essen — rooms 15–19; Braunschweig — 7 rooms using the new naming convention; Dresden — rooms 11–20; Bonn — 10 rooms; Potsdam — 5 rooms). Zoom meetings and meeting links were created and delivered by the designated account holders. A mismatched join URL for virtual room “08” was fixed by updating the CARE entry so lecturer and student views pointed to the same meeting. Instructor visibility problems were resolved by cleaning and updating facility/location lists and correcting menu defaults (FS vs DS) so site-specific VR rooms and courses reappeared. One user's inability to open the course-management portal, view participant lists, or upload slides was resolved after support assigned the user's CARE groups and an overnight synchronization propagated the changes. During service interruptions staff used direct Zoom join links as a temporary workaround; in an incident caused by an application fault the specialist team deployed an update/patch to MyCampus which restored access to the 'Lehrverwaltung' module and virtual rooms.

13. Closed/failed qualification records blocked exemptions and Feexams processing
71% confidence
Problem Pattern

Closed, failed, replaced or lineage-linked qualification records, and large numbers of open/ungraded FE qualification attempts (e.g., LIFA/LIFC) prevented downstream processing. Symptoms included inability to print or reissue certificates, inability to apply RPL/exemptions in Qualifications admin, Feexams/UKFS/ITFS/Pearson not recognising a qualification or accepting external results, external reports showing bookings against closed sessions, UI inconsistencies (qualification appears in tick lists but is omitted from template selectors), and residual open e-test registrations spanning multiple years after Potential Completions.

Solution

Investigations separated failures caused by incorrectly closed records from those caused by lineage/linking. Where qualifications or exam registrations/sessions had been closed improperly (for example records marked ‘Failed’ with populated Fail Date/Certification Date, or exam registrations closed while external bookings still referenced them) the object was reopened and erroneous Fail Date/Certification Date entries were cleared or adjusted; once reopened and status corrected, RPL/exemptions could be applied and Feexams/UKFS/ITFS recognised the qualification and accepted attached results. For external bookings that referenced closed sessions, the closed exam registration/session was reopened so recently sat results could be attached without creating unnecessary linked resits. Where certificate printing or reissue was blocked by conflicting state between screens, record history and qualification lineage were reviewed to confirm the authoritative active/completed attempt; once the authoritative attempt was identified, the certificate reissue workflow completed. In FE/LIFA/LIFC cases a bulk finalisation step was applied: Potential Completions was processed, outstanding subject registrations were closed at subject level (OT'd), open qualification attempts were set to U grade and marked as failed, and open e-test registrations for the affected year(s) (2025 in the reported incident) were closed so remaining records reflected final outcomes. Where template selectors omitted qualifications that appeared in tick lists, the template selector logic was found to exclude passes already used toward another qualification; the required pass was therefore included in the generated REFPART template so the final qualification field could be completed. Across incidents care was taken to verify remaining open registrations were not true passes (reopened students had previously failed to return to Potential Completions), and after restoring authoritative attempt/registration state or applying bulk U-grade/closure operations, downstream systems and UI views recognised the student outcomes and external results attached as expected.

14. CPD 'register' link showing previous-year activity due to rolling 12‑month CPD window
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students reported the CPD 'register' link or CPD log showing only entries from a prior calendar year or missing recent months. The CPD log displays claimed activity from a rolling 12‑month window relative to the current date rather than by calendar year, so periods with no claims in the rolling window are absent. Separately, users reported missing the 'Claim a new CPD activity' option and unspecified error messages or inability to view CPD history during intermittent CPD system outages.

Solution

Investigations determined two distinct causes. In cases where the log showed only previous‑year entries, the account was on the RDR rolling 12‑month CPD scheme: the system displays the last 12 months of claimed activities relative to the current date, so claims in October/December 2023 and no claims in 2024 correctly resulted in only 2023 entries appearing; the 'register CPD' hyperlink was functioning as designed. In separate incidents where users could not claim new CPD or saw errors and missing UI options (for example the 'Claim a new CPD activity' link), the CPD service had experienced an outage earlier that day; the service was restored and claiming/viewing functionality returned. Membership and SPS status were verified current where applicable to rule out account eligibility issues.

15. External script-hosted images/links failing to load until browser cache cleared
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

myCampus pages and the IU Learn mobile app intermittently failed to render or accept input: pages or subpages loaded blank or navigation produced no response, embedded/vendor content (scripts, iframes, book reader) failed to load producing infinite loading spinners, and authoring/upload interfaces (for example the course video gallery's 'insert new media' dialog) sometimes did not open or respond. Observed errors included explicit messages such as "General error connecting to CARE" and "Error code: STUDY_INFO_CANT_REACH", and backend service calls (for example core_calendar_get_calendar_events) sometimes returned no result. Failures were intermittent across browsers, devices and iOS/iPadOS (including older iPads) and often coincided with stale cookies/sessions, blocked third‑party requests (CORS, SameSite, X-Frame-Options), cached or incorrect server assets, or incorrect redirect/opt‑in mappings. Symptoms included unresponsive UI elements, frozen text inputs, infinite loading spinners, blank pages, and media upload dialogs failing to appear.

Solution

Recoveries combined client-state refreshes, identity/session resets, targeted device repro and server-side cache/asset/redirect corrections. Client-state recoveries that resolved many incidents included clearing browser cookies, site data and cache (occasionally full history), forcing a full reload or using a private/incognito session, trying an alternate supported browser, disabling interfering extensions, and — in managed-browser cases — re-provisioning the browser via Company Portal (Intune). Identity- and SSO-related recoveries included resetting session cookies and re-authenticating or resetting Okta credentials when SSO sessions were stale; opening the direct myCampus domain resolved cases where login masks had been redirected. Server-side recoveries included replacing or republishing incorrect or stale server assets (course-view/book-reader scripts), invalidating backend and CDN caches, repairing incorrect navigation/redirect entries and account-level opt‑in/ownership flags, and fixing embedding/privacy headers (SameSite, X-Frame-Options) so vendor iframes and embeds loaded. Multiple incidents traced to blocked third-party requests: several AWS S3 buckets that served book or media content had incorrect CORS configurations; updating the S3 CORS policy to allow the application origin resolved infinite loading loops. Vendor-side session and cookie handling issues (for example Kaltura and Unipark) were escalated and remedied by vendor teams. Logs sometimes showed backend web-service functions (for example core_calendar_get_calendar_events) returning no result when external content was blocked; after server-side fixes, clearing browser cache or restarting the browser removed cached failing requests and restored normal behavior. Several cases were limited to older or low-memory devices (notably older iPads) where script execution caused hangs or input freezes; these required reproducing the issue on the affected hardware and were resolved by republishing correct assets, invalidating caches, applying vendor-side fixes, or using an updated OS/browser or alternate device. In some media-upload incidents where the course video gallery's add-media dialog failed to open or the UI was unresponsive, the media/IT team manually added the submitted video to the course as an effective recovery and closure action. Several incidents were transient and self-resolved after backend or session refreshes.

16. Outdated study-text product remained available for ordering despite no stock and retired qualification
70% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students could still request free AFA 2024 study texts via the online registration even though there was no physical stock and the qualification was no longer examined. The portal showed book links and allowed orders despite the product being unavailable, prompting a request to remove the links and establish recent order counts.

Solution

The study-text product was removed from the Online Registration Setup / Qualification Maintenance entries so it was no longer offered on MyLIBF. Stock records in the financial_product_stock tables were reconciled to reflect zero availability and a SQL report against member_financials/financial_product/financial_product_stock was run to identify recent orders; the product links were cleared from the registration UI and recent order counts were reported to stakeholders.

17. Module total points missing or inconsistent in MyCampus grade overview due to Curriculum calculation mode
91% confidence
Problem Pattern

Module- and course-level credit/point totals, averages and pass/fail flags in MyCampus/Simovative/DokGen sometimes differed from CARE/EPOS records. Symptoms were intermittent and included non-numeric or missing module headers, module rows showing 0 credits while constituent courses showed points, missing page-level weighted average/GPA, module averages failing to calculate when mandatory sub-subjects had no recorded grades, modules shown as passed despite failed sub-courses, and transient cases where a course’s credits displayed as zero then later appeared correctly. Affected surfaces included the gradebook (Notenblatt), transcripts and frontend exam/booking indicators.

Solution

Multiple distinct root causes were identified; affected accounts were resolved by a combination of configuration changes, targeted data corrections, temporary frontend workarounds and a vendor product update. Key resolutions included:

• Curriculum calculation mode: Curricula producing non-numeric or grade-scale module headers had their calculation mode switched from “Grades” to “Points” so module headers displayed numeric point/credit totals.
• Average-display alignment: Examination regulations or curriculum average-display flags that caused arithmetic versus weighted/GPA mismatches were reconciled so downstream displays matched CARE’s stored values; in one case enabling the curriculum’s overall-average display restored a missing cohort average.
• Missing grade records for mandatory subjects: Module average failures were traced to module rules marking sub‑subjects as “mandatory to pass” while those sub‑subjects had no grade entries; affected student records required the missing grades to be added (cases escalated when local correction wasn’t possible).
• Module pass/fail rule reconciliation: Modules shown as passed despite failed sub‑courses were traced to module rule definitions (no per-subcourse pass requirement or insufficient ECTS thresholds) and were corrected by reconciling curriculum/module rule settings to reflect the intended regulation.
• Booking↔grade mapping and aggregation fixes: Module rows showing 0/100 while constituent courses showed points were resolved by correcting booking‑to‑grade mapping or by applying temporary frontend workarounds (manual module-point entry via chronological/gradebook views) until mappings were fixed.
• Duplicate / out‑of‑sync records and ownership: Double‑counted elective or module records were deduplicated and EPOS↔CARE profile/ownership/transfer states were reconciled so the frontend no longer saw duplicated contributions.
• Rounding/truncation reconciliation: Small numeric variances were attributed to differing rounding/truncation rules between CARE (precise weighted averages), DokGen/ToR (regulated truncation) and MyCampus (display rounding) and were reconciled in downstream output generation.
• Transient display/cache incidents: Some cases (for example, a certificate course showing 0 credits and later appearing correctly) resolved without documented manual intervention and were attributed to frontend display or caching glitches; support captured these as transient display issues and advised collecting screenshots and click paths if they recur.
• Vendor patch and data cleanup: For rendering or aggregation omissions not resolved locally, the vendor applied a product fix and data cleanup in CARE Live (patch v17.21.16; internal tracking zendesk-41494). The vendor update plus targeted data corrections resolved remaining display omissions and inconsistent renderings.

After applying the above corrections — calculation-mode and average-display changes, adding missing grade entries, rule reconciliation, booking/grade mapping fixes, deduplication/ownership reconciliation, rounding reconciliations, handling transient display/cache incidents, and the vendor patch/data-cleanup — MyCampus/Simovative and DokGen/Transcript outputs matched CARE’s point/credit totals, pass/fail determinations and weighted averages.

18. Missing or duplicated semesters in Praxisberichte caused by incorrect study-plan (calid) assignment
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students and staff reported missing, empty, mis‑numbered or duplicated semester rows, application targets or weekly entries in myCampus modules (Praxisberichte, Abgabekalender, Antragsverwaltung). Reported symptoms included users with no calendar/study‑plan assignment (missing calid), absent or duplicated weekly templates (including duplicated rows for weeks spanning year boundaries), misclassified university vs work weeks, portal failures showing “Änderungen nicht gespeichert.”, access denied due to incorrect cohort/booking flags, exam/results attached to multiple elements when association date ranges were ignored, planning groups hidden after Simovative semester rollovers, and a Study‑Guide bug that made Praxisberichte invisible or produced an error when filtering by location (for example Wuppertal) and selecting certain semesters. The issue was reproducible across browsers and persisted after clearing cache/cookies for affected users.

Solution

Investigations found multiple root causes — data errors, configuration gaps, software defects and operational issues — and incidents were resolved by combining targeted record cleanup, configuration fixes, software patches and administrative handoffs. Key remediations included:

• Data and record cleanup: incorrect, duplicate or stale study‑plan/calendar identifiers (calid) were removed and duplicate calendar‑plan entries deleted; where required correct calid values were reassigned (examples included removing calid 81 and reassigning 86; deleting duplicate entries 28 and 29; removing extraneous values 396, 397, 400, 594–597). Study‑location (standort) assignments on application records in Care Community were corrected and program‑group visibility differences (QS vs DS) were reconciled. Consent was obtained before removing calendar associations when deletions affected historical student items.

• Missing calendar assignments and templates: students with no calendar assignment (no calid) were escalated to the specialist team for record assignment. Where specialist administration was delayed, students were permitted to submit Praxisberichte without a template and instructed to add explanatory comments; affected users were notified to await contact from the specialist team.

• Calendar‑week handling and weekly entries: logic for calendar‑week handling around year boundaries was corrected so weeks spanning two years no longer produced duplicated or fillable duplicate rows and December reports were released correctly. Weekly entries were reconciled so practice‑report counts matched expectations; where correcting a mapping risked deleting already‑submitted reports, mappings were left in place and operational workarounds (additional submissions and explanatory notes) were used while administration reconciled records.

• Cohort/booking and access fixes: access problems caused by module‑booking cohort flags (for example Zusatzmodule incorrectly marked as haupthoerer) were resolved by correcting bookings so Zusatzmodule were not set as a student's main cohort. Stale or conflicting backend assignments that caused portal edits to fail with “Änderungen nicht gespeichert.” were corrected directly in records.

• Software fixes: a Study‑Guide/Study‑Guides‑module defect that made Praxisberichte invisible or produced an error when users filtered by location (notably Wuppertal) and switched semesters was fixed by development and deployed to production. An exam/results system (PETR) bug that ignored association date ranges was also fixed; impacted incorrect results were cleared from affected elements and the corrected code respected date ranges.

• Simovative semester rollover and visibility: several incidents of hidden planning groups (Planungsgruppen) and missing semester settings were tied to Simovative semester transitions; affected tickets were forwarded to the Simovative fachteam and, after the semester rollover/transition completed and missing semester entries were added where required, planning groups reappeared in cohort overviews and student profiles.

• Praxisberichte‑specific staff coordination: manually added annotations (for example exam‑week notes) were accepted after staff review where appropriate; when exam‑phase dates were recorded incorrectly and no config change was necessary, students were instructed to document actual dates as remarks in Praxisberichte entries. Differences between student‑facing submission counters and staff totals were explained as intended view differences.

• Administrative follow‑up and handoffs: missing semester practice‑day calendars or templates originating from Fachabteilungen were forwarded for operational action; interim manual‑entry workarounds and staff contacts were communicated to students where necessary.

After these combined remediations and operational handovers, semester rows and application targets returned to expected sequences, students could upload to the correct semester/application targets (including cases where templates were missing), weekly practice‑report counts around year boundaries matched expectations, portal edits no longer failed where caused by stale backend assignments, planning groups reappeared after semester rollovers, and documents and results no longer appeared where associations or configuration did not grant visibility. The Study‑Guide fix specifically resolved the location‑filter + semester selection error that had rendered Praxisberichte invisible for affected cohorts.

19. Unsaved draft blocked Praxisberichte submission
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students experienced blocked submissions in the myCampus Praxisberichte module. Symptoms included blank or partially rendered report templates, missing calendar/weekly selections, non‑rendered dropdowns or broken HTML, validation errors stating 'Aufgaben und Tätigkeiten' was required despite being completed, and generic error messages preventing access or submission even when cohort/plan assignments appeared correct. Affected systems included the myCampus Praxisberichte web module, the Studium Verwalten portal/dashboard, and SharePoint‑backed report entries.

Solution

Investigations identified multiple distinct root causes that prevented the Praxisberichte UI from presenting selectable weeks or allowing submissions; each was resolved according to its cause. Resolutions included: deletion of stray unsaved/incomplete draft records that blocked option loading; sanitization/cleansing of SharePoint‑stored entries where pasted special characters or malformed markup caused broken HTML, dropdowns or calendars; verification and communication when weeks were absent because reports had already been submitted and approved; communication of administrative publication delays and advising that students could submit Praxisberichte without using a template when templates were not yet published; and a developer fix that corrected a form‑validation bug which had falsely reported the 'Aufgaben und Tätigkeiten' field as required. In one case a generic access/submission error (despite correct cohort/plan assignment) was investigated and fixed by development/support, and a temporary workaround — accessing Praxisberichte via the Dashboard — was provided and verified. Final verification confirmed that access to Praxisberichte via Studium Verwalten → Praxisberichte was restored for affected users.

20. Accidental course file upload required support removal; user deletion steps clarified
91% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users experienced incorrect visibility, missing or wrongly placed content in myCampus (Lehrverwaltung → "Meine Dateien" and Studium verwalten → "Vertiefungswahl"); reported symptoms included files missing for some roles, materials linked to the wrong course or language, instructor folders appearing under another instructor, inability to create top‑level course folders, and removed files reappearing. Additional symptoms included duplicate Turnitin submissions that students could not delete, web upload controls or mobile uploads failing to create repository entries, Office/OneDrive edits not saving back, authentication/login errors, and intermittent upload failures in very large courses. A reproduced client‑side symptom was that clicking "Meine Dateien" immediately redirected some student accounts back to the dashboard with no error message. Affected systems included myCampus course repositories, assignment submissions (Turnitin), VLR/teaching‑assignment mappings, and related delivery paths.

Solution

Support resolved visibility and repository-location problems by locating and removing or relocating incorrectly placed and wrong‑language files, and by fixing broken course links so documents pointed to the intended repository locations. When instructor content had been uploaded to the wrong course, support moved or re‑uploaded instructor files into the course’s lecture‑series/materials folder via the web interface and removed accidental uploads using the course upload menu. For cases where instructor and student views differed, support compared role views, cleared stale sessions and reset passwords where authentication errors were present, and corrected VLR/teaching‑assignment mappings (VLR Sync) when synchronization had associated another instructor’s folders. Where folder ownership or permissions prevented creation of top‑level course folders, support corrected ownership and permissions, recreated top‑level course folders when required, and moved content so instructors regained expected create/upload rights and students saw intended directories. For edited documents that failed to save back, support identified Office/OneDrive flows that routed edits to a user’s OneDrive or launched a local Office app and noted browser permission prompts that blocked the save; support either uploaded the completed file into the repository or re‑linked the course document to a repository copy and addressed the integration by clearing or adjusting the relevant client/browser state. Support documented that uploads originating from the myCampus mobile app did not reliably create repository entries and that the web upload control was sometimes unavailable; developers prepared an updated upload module for high‑load courses and a temporary workaround of uploading during off‑peak periods or in smaller batches was used. For intermittent upload failures in very large courses, support inspected teaching assignments and VLRs and in reported cases determined the root cause to be upload‑module overload. When instructors used external email as a temporary workaround and recipients reported SMTP delivery failures, support confirmed those delivery failures were external to the myCampus repository and supplied files via verified delivery methods or by uploading materials into the course repository for distribution. Obsolete links or Application Management issues were forwarded to the specialist team; support removed stale CARE Stage links when appropriate and supplied guidance so changes could be confirmed before applying to Live. Video requests were routed to the AI Media Service Support portal. When removed factsheets reappeared on the Studium verwalten → Vertiefungswahl page, support escalated to the CMS/specialist team, who permanently deleted the files and confirmed the deletion. Persistent duplicate assignment submissions (Turnitin) that students could not remove were escalated to the specialist team and coordinated with the examination office, which removed the duplicate submission. For reported cases where clicking "Meine Dateien" redirected a student back to the dashboard with no error message, support forwarded the ticket to the specialist team and recorded that a small set of settings changes had been applied by specialists; those changes did not resolve the reported instance and no error logs or final resolution were documented in the ticket. After each remediation or escalation, support verified that files or links were present (or permanently removed) in the correct location and that the intended audience saw the expected content or view.

21. Study Guides booking link routed students to the wrong Office365 Bookings region
65% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students opening the Study Guides booking link from the myCampus dashboard (Dein Campus / Standortübersicht) experienced campus-specific booking failures: either being routed to the wrong regional Office365 Bookings calendar (no error message) or encountering a non-functional booking link with an Office365/Bookings error dialog. Symptoms were intermittent and affected campus-specific Study Guides entries (examples: Dusseldorf routed to the wrong region; Frankfurt produced an error when loading the booking page).

Solution

Two distinct failure modes were observed and addressed as follows:

• Misrouted regional calendar (Dusseldorf): The issue was traced to a misconfigured Study Guides booking URL that pointed to the Region Nord Office365 Bookings calendar instead of the Region West 1 calendar for Dusseldorf. Support replaced the incorrect Bookings link/mapping in the myCampus Study Guides entry with the correct Region West 1 Bookings URL and cleared cached page copies so the change propagated. After the update, affected students were routed to the intended Region West 1 Bookings page and appointments were created in the correct calendar.

• Non-functional booking link / Bookings error (Frankfurt): Support reproduced the failure by impersonating an affected student and observed the booking page producing an error (screenshot referenced in the ticket). The incident was intermittent and was escalated to the specialist/Microsoft support team; a troubleshooting call with stakeholders was scheduled to investigate the root cause and next steps. (No final configuration fix was recorded in the ticket.)

22. Grade-entry (Noteneingabe) hidden when course exam (Prüfung) record is missing
91% confidence
Problem Pattern

Exam-related UI elements and controls in MyCampus/MyLIBF (Noteneingabe/Lehrverwaltung and related tiles) were missing, hidden, disabled, incorrect, or produced errors. Symptoms included invisible grade-entry controls (for example a non-visible save button inside the CARE iframe), missing or incorrect participant lists, inactive or missing exam-enrolment/resit/publish buttons, 'unknown error' when opening the Pruefungsanmeldung tile, and exams not appearing in MyCampus. Problems were observed in stage and live environments and affected the MyCampus/MyLIBF frontends, the exam microfrontend, EPOS/CARE booking and assessment services, Online‑Exams (eas), and legacy registration records.

Solution

Support found multiple distinct root causes for missing, hidden, disabled, or incorrect exam-related UI elements and applied targeted fixes; each change restored the affected UI or enrollment flow.

• Absent or not-published exam records: Where MyCampus showed no grade-entry because the Pruefung entity had not been created or had not been pushed from CARE/stage to live, support confirmed the missing record with the examinations office and the exam was created/published in CARE so MyCampus grade-entry and exam tiles reappeared.
• Transient CARE iframe/UI rendering: In at least one case the CARE iframe contained the save control but it was not initially noticed; a colleague rechecked the iframe and confirmed the save button appeared bottom-left and grades were saved without backend changes.
• Incorrect participant assignments: Examinations-office corrected wrong participant assignments on Pruefung records so Noteneingabe displayed the correct student lists.
• Corrupted or inconsistent backend data: Backend data causing an "unknown error" when opening the Pruefungsanmeldung tile was repaired and the tile opened normally afterwards.
• EPOS vs CARE booking/routing mismatches: Bookings that were routed or created in EPOS without the expected multibooker/extra-module support were moved/resigned back to CARE so CARE-created bookings appeared correctly in the exam microfrontend.
• Legacy manual resits and registration mismatches: Incorrect manual resit entries created via the legacy Registration System (which produced no invoice and could not be cancelled) were removed/closed and then re-created via the legacy resit workflow with the correct registration type so resit buttons, invoice generation, and cancellation behavior were restored.
• Online‑Exams (eas) publication: For cases where instructors could not publish Online‑Exams (publish button greyed out) and exams did not appear in MyCampus, affected instructors were directed to the central examinations office (akad-pruefungsamt) because Online‑Exams publication and processing were managed centrally; once published, exams appeared in MyCampus.
• Scheduling and exam dates: Where scheduled exam dates could not be viewed or confirmed in MyCampus, support escalated to the central examinations office (zpa-dualesstudium) so saved dates were confirmed or displayed.
• Theme/landing-page redirects: Cases where users were redirected to an incorrect MyCampus theme that hid Lehrverwaltung/Noteneingabe were resolved by forcing the correct site theme (iu_black) at login; Lehrverwaltung grading and upload features became accessible after landing on the correct theme.
• Vendor-tool interference: When third-party vendor tools prevented immediate grade-entry (for example Charly-App requests), instructors were enabled to enter grades via the MyCampus portal and support provided the exam-management contact for vendor follow-up.
• Stored-procedure / CPD link: The CITR qualification was added to the My_CPD_Ind selection in the PACK_WEB.getMyifsStudiesNew stored procedure and deployed so the "Log CPD hours for recertification" link displayed under CITR on the MyLIBF homepage.

Each fix was applied in the relevant frontend, backend, or stored-procedure environment and restored the previously missing or incorrect UI elements and enrollment flows.

23. Document templates missing in myCampus due to absent CampusWeb site (Standort) setting
91% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users experienced missing, empty, or incorrect document options and immediate page errors in myCampus/myStudium and related portals. Symptoms included missing document entries (for example module completion certificates present in MC‑Classic but absent in MC 2.0), empty document selectors, blank or corrupted PDFs (including messages such as "no certificate can be issued for future semesters"), truncated invoices, and facility pages failing to load. Affected components included DokGen, the payment‑tab invoice generator, CARE frontend/iframe rendering paths, and third‑party portal integrations. Observed triggers included absent CampusWEB Standort or default Care facility records, template availability/exclusion rules or defective templates, frontend vs CARE configuration/rendering differences, date‑parameter format changes, and feature rollout/pilot gating between MyCampus versions.

Solution

Investigations found multiple distinct root causes and per‑cause fixes were applied across environments. Key resolutions included:

• Missing CampusWEB Standort / missing default Care facility: incidents where facility pages failed to load or templates did not appear were resolved by adding the missing Standort or default facility records. A Team Foundation bug fix was deployed for an iubh_facility error that occurred when no default facility existed.

• Feature rollout / pilot gating (MC 2.0 vs MC‑Classic): instances where module completion certificates or other document entries appeared in MC‑Classic (impersonation) but were absent in MC 2.0 were traced to a pilot/feature‑gated rollout limited to specific study programmes. Investigations compared MC‑Classic and MC‑2.0 outputs, confirmed the rollout scope with stakeholders, and updated rollout configuration and communications so affected users understood availability.

• Restored removed or unpublished templates: certificates that produced blank PDFs or explanatory messages were fixed by restoring or republishing the correct templates to CARE.

• Template availability rules and programme exclusions: templates intentionally excluded for specific study programmes or extra achievements (for example OWB/Online‑Weiterbildung) were validated with stakeholders; rules were documented and communicated so appropriate templates were used for each programme.

• DokGen behaviour and template fixes: DokGen’s behaviour (for example producing module certificates only when modules were fully completed) was validated against academic/examination records. Defective DokGen templates and layout issues (missing newlines, language/layout defects) were corrected, fixed templates were published to CARE, and corrected production IDs were provided for EPOS/testing where required.

• Payment‑tab invoice generator date‑parameter change: truncated invoices were traced to a package update that changed the expected date‑parameter format; the generator’s date handling was updated and invoices rendered correctly thereafter.

• Frontend vs CARE rendering/configuration differences: cases where CARE could generate PDFs but the myCampus frontend showed no options or blank pages were traced to differing rendering paths or configuration; per‑incident alignment and configuration clarifications were applied so frontend behaviour matched CARE output.

• Corrupted or distorted downloads in mobile browsers: files that failed to open in mobile Chrome/Firefox but worked via impersonation or CARE iframe were diagnosed as profile‑related; affected user profiles were re‑registered/updated and downloads were restored for those accounts.

• Vendor/portal responsibilities and escalations: vendor‑specific download or recertification behaviours were escalated to third‑party providers (for example Simovative, Coastline). Stakeholders including onCampus, Simovative, Minerva, ZPA and others were engaged and FAQs/documentation were updated to reflect responsibilities and availability windows.

Collectively, fixes included adding missing Standort and Care facility records, applying an iubh_facility bug fix, restoring and republishing templates, documenting template availability and DokGen behaviour, publishing corrected DokGen templates to CARE, updating the invoice generator’s date handling, aligning frontend rendering with CARE, re‑registering affected user profiles, and escalating vendor‑specific failures to third parties. Pilot rollout scopes for MC 2.0 features (such as module completion certificates) were clarified and communicated to stakeholders and affected users.

24. Locating lecture schedules (Vorlesungspläne) in myCampus
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students reported lecture timetables ('Vorlesungspläne' / 'Stundenplan') or editable slide files missing from myCampus (my.iu.org). Symptoms included a missing 'Vorlesungspläne'/'Stundenplan' sideboard entry or student-profile calendar, only PDFs visible while editable PPTs were absent, outdated or past course dates/locations shown, or no timetable displayed despite successful page loads. Reported triggers included incorrect Tutor Unit view, program-family or DL‑prefixed course codes that did not generate a presence timetable, CourseManagement profile/enrollment/permission discrepancies, mismatched MyCampus vs Microsoft/OKTA credentials, or client-side stale content (browser cache/cookies).

Solution

Support signed into myCampus and inspected the affected course page and the user’s account view to determine why the timetable or files were not visible. When the timetable/menu entry existed but was hidden, support changed the user’s Tutor Unit view to the DS view via 'Tutor Unit wechseln', after which the 'Vorlesungspläne'/'Stundenplan' entry and scheduled lecture dates appeared. Support verified program-family attributes and confirmed that presence timetables were only shown for DS program-family views and not for FS program-family profiles. For courses consisting solely of distance-learning content (course codes beginning with 'DL...') or showing outdated/past dates/locations, CourseManagement‑MS adjustments to profile, enrollment attributes, or permissions were applied; after those adjustments and a re-login the presence timetable and current course locations/dates appeared. For missing editable slide files, support found editable PPTs on the course 'Foliensätze' page listed below PDFs and users opened the PPT files in PowerPoint. In at least one case support impersonated the user and confirmed schedules were visible to support (indicating a backend/front-end sync issue); affected users were advised to clear browser cache and cookies and retry, which resolved client-side stale views. In at least one other case access was restored after a MyCampus password reset via the my.iu.org account recovery flow (the MyCampus password was distinct from Microsoft/OKTA credentials). When present, a timetable could also appear under the student profile menu. Systems observed during troubleshooting included myCampus (my.iu.org), CourseManagement‑MS (CMaaS), CARE and Moodle.

25. Incorrect exam sitting date on exam scheduling and registration records (DIAF)
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

The final sitting date for the Old Diploma in Asset Finance (DIAF) MCQ exam was recorded incorrectly in the exam scheduling/registration system (4 April 2026 instead of the correct 28 April 2026). Course and registration records therefore displayed the wrong exam/sitting date and some open registrations referenced the incorrect date. No application errors were reported; symptom was mismatched exam date on student and registration records across the exam scheduling and student records systems.

Solution

The exam sitting date for the Old Diploma in Asset Finance (DIAF) MCQ was changed from 4 April 2026 to 28 April 2026 in the exam scheduling/registration system. Any open or current registrations that referenced the old date were updated to the new sitting date. The change was confirmed with the requester.

26. Turnitin integration draft entries overwrote positive grades in gradebook
75% confidence
Problem Pattern

Positive/passing grades in myCampus gradebooks were replaced by 'E' (noten.note = 99) entries created between 2025-05-10 and 2025-05-11 by the SOAP MyCampusWorker user, showing comment 'Einschreibung Turnitin-Abgabe (0..100%)'. The overwrite affected a subset of students and modules with no immediate visible pattern, producing unexpected E-status entries in the noten table.

Solution

Vendor analysis identified 221 database rows created by the SOAP MyCampusWorker process with note=99 and the Turnitin-related comment; the affected noten rows were reverted to their previous grade values using database audit logs/backups and/or targeted updates, and the erroneous Turnitin draft entries were removed. The integration process that created those automatic draft entries (the SOAP MyCampusWorker / cronjob) was stopped and corrected to prevent further automatic creation of note=99 drafts. Affected students' gradebooks were verified after restoration.

27. Grades recorded in Care not visible in myCampus because 'Published' flag was unset
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Grades and exam records saved in CARE or GradeView sometimes did not display correctly in myCampus (classic or 2.0): final numeric or letter grades were missing or replaced by placeholders ('CE', 'Grade Pending', 'K.A./N/A'); incorrect pass/fail status icons were shown; Transcript of Records downloads were unavailable (document dropdown showed 'Please Select'); the examination-results iframe occasionally failed to load or returned 'access denied' in myCampus while the CARE Community iframe rendered normally. Symptoms appeared immediately after automated exam creation, after enrollment/program changes, or persistently for specific students (including after return from a leave of absence).

Solution

Multiple root causes were identified across incidents and each was addressed as follows.

• Curriculum/course identifier mismatches caused CARE writeback failures; correcting curriculum or course IDs restored CARE writeback and made grades visible, sometimes producing immediate visibility changes.

• Published-flag visibility: where grades existed in CARE but were hidden in myCampus, enabling and saving the assessment's Published (Veröffentlicht) checkbox restored entries; affected cases became visible after cache clearing.

• CARE placeholders: CARE's presentation of a 'Grade Pending' placeholder when no final grade existed was confirmed as expected behaviour and not a writeback fault.

• Transient/display timing: temporary inconsistencies (registrations/grades visible only inside the course module or briefly out of sync after automated exam creation) typically resolved spontaneously without backend remediation; clearing browser cache helped in some cases but not all.

• Iframe/display synchronization: in one incident the CARE Community iframe rendered examination results correctly while myCampus returned an 'access denied' / failed iframe load; support verified the CARE view and escalated the issue to the myCampus/GradeView owners as a front-end/synchronization/display-layer problem for further investigation.

• Student account / leave-of-absence: a case of missing historical grades after a student's return from leave required the student IT support team to restore the student's grade overview because internal support could not access the account.

• Student-facing comments and 'Systemfehler': public comments that conflicted with attested statuses were converted to internal comments to remove contradictory messages from the student view; converting to internal also worked around a CARE 'Systemfehler' encountered when editing a public comment.

• Employee-course writeback and course-evaluation availability: mapping problems or missing identifiers prevented employee-course writeback and course-evaluation links; correcting mappings or course identifiers restored these functions.

• Vendor rendering/display defects: a Simovative/myCampus rendering bug caused incorrect status icons (for example showing 'failed' when CARE recorded 'passed') and prevented Transcript of Records downloads (document dropdown showed 'Please Select'); Simovative deployed a fix to Stage and the defect was not reproducible on Stage after that deploy; the fix was scheduled for the live myCampus release (version 16.13.9 or higher).

• MyCampus 2.0 / GradeView mismatch: incidents where GradeView (maintained by Kronos) and CARE recorded a completed exam while myCampus 2.0 displayed 'K.A.' / 'N/A' were classified as front-end/display-layer errors and were escalated to the myCampus 2.0 project and GradeView/Kronos teams.

• Dashboard-only inconsistencies: cases where course admission/status appeared open but uploaded workbooks or pending-grading indicators did not show were investigated and, when not resolvable locally, were escalated to the myCampus project team.

Collectively, incidents were resolved by correcting IDs and mappings, toggling the assessment Published flag where appropriate, converting public comments to internal to avoid conflicting student messages (and to avoid a CARE edit error), applying vendor fixes for rendering defects (Simovative fix deployed to Stage; live release v16.13.9+), and escalating front-end/iframe synchronization errors to the relevant myCampus/GradeView owners after verifying the CARE Community view.

28. Zero registration fee shown when resit product codes were missing
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Registration workflows (combined, legacy add-resits, and online 'Register your resit' portal) displayed a fee amount of zero for resit additions. No error codes were shown; affected workflows and student registrations (e.g., DipF2 resit for R70192) showed £0 charge despite expected fee products being present in finance/catalog.

Solution

Investigation found the resit product codes were absent from the registration/product-catalog configuration. Finance/operations created and deployed the missing resit product codes and those codes were then added into the registration system configuration. After the product codes were present in the catalog and mapped in the registration module, the resit fee amounts displayed correctly across the combined workflow, legacy add-resits workflow and the online portal.

29. Honours (AdvDipFA) not auto-applied when QUALIFICATION.recert_scheme_code was NULL
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students completing the L6FA pathway including LTCP did not receive the AdvDipFA honours designation automatically; contact.honours lacked the auto_completion_honours value despite completion of required units. The issue occurred for records where the QUALIFICATION.recert_scheme_code field was NULL.

Solution

A bug in the QUALIFICATION_REG After Insert/Update database trigger was fixed so that the honours assignment logic handled cases where QUALIFICATION.recert_scheme_code was NULL. The trigger change allowed the auto_completion_honours value to be set for qualifying records, and post-fix data updates were performed to apply the honours designation to previously affected student records.

30. MyCampus site edit blocked by account username mismatch and missing approval field
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users were unable to obtain MyCampus edit or full-access permissions. Triggers included missing approver information in approval requests and account username mismatches. Symptoms included Automation for Jira messages such as "approver missing or no longer available" or "14 not approved or approver no longer available", automated decline of approval requests with tickets closed and unreopenable, and lack of explicit MyCampus error messages when attempting edits. Affected systems included MyCampus and Jira approval automation.

Solution

Two related failure modes were observed and resolved. In the account/permission case, the approving manager provided approval via a Jira comment because the standard approval field was not present; the administrator corrected the user's account username from david.andreae to david.siebzehnruebl and granted the MyCampus location write/edit role. After signing in with the corrected username, the user obtained the required MyCampus editing permissions. Separately, automated approvals failed when the request lacked a valid approver: Automation for Jira logged messages such as "approver missing or no longer available" (also seen as "14 not approved or approver no longer available"), auto-declined the approval, and the ticket was closed without granting access. The documented follow-up for auto-declined requests was to resubmit the access request including a valid approver so the approval workflow can complete.

31. Perceived missing per-student attendance checkbox in myCampus attendance view
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Instructors reported they could not reliably open, mark or submit per-student attendance in myCampus (Anwesenheit). Observed symptoms included a per-participant present/absent control that was missing or visually subtle, participant or attendance lists that remained empty until students logged in, courses absent from the Timetracking/attendance list due to an incorrect semester/term filter, backend submission errors when saving attendance, and that the attendance UI defaulted to all-students-present with no bulk 'uncheck all' option for large groups. Affected systems included myCampus (Anwesenheit), the CARE iframe, mystudies, timetracking, and course participant lists.

Solution

Support investigated reported incidents and screenshots and identified multiple distinct, non-code causes. 1) Visual control subtlety: the single per-participant present/absent checkbox was present but visually subtle; after support pointed out the control location instructors were able to mark attendance and no application defect or data issue was found. 2) Empty participant/navigation lists: the left-panel participants/navigation entry existed but the full participant/attendance list populated only after students had logged into myCampus; support explained this behaviour and no technical fault was found. 3) Incorrect semester/term filter in Timetracking: missing courses in the Timetracking/attendance view were caused by the semester/term view being set incorrectly; switching the semester view and performing a search made the course appear and the attendance capture accessible. 4) Submission failures: where attendance save/submit operations failed or returned errors, cases were escalated to the specialist team; specialists applied a backend fix to the myCampus (Anwesenheit) submission flow, after which instructors confirmed submissions succeeded. 5) Bulk-uncheck / default-present behaviour: attendance capture UI was implemented inside the CARE iframe and defaulted to all students marked present; tutors requested a bulk 'uncheck all' feature to save time with large groups. Support confirmed this was a feature request and that CARE was not being enhanced for non-exam features because it is being replaced; the request was forwarded to the EPOS project team for their consideration. Investigative artifacts included screenshots, targeted user guidance (e.g., pointing out the subtle checkbox and advising semester filter checks), and escalation to the specialist team when backend fixes were required.

32. myCampus Document Generator template import failures (JP2 and image upload errors)
55% confidence
Problem Pattern

Document Generator template imports failed: original templates in JP2 format produced a "file format not recognized" error and the myCampus/CARE document-template upload UI blocked image uploads, preventing template creation and issuance of module-completion certificates. Affected systems were the myCampus Document Generator and CARE Document Templates; users could not complete certificate generation for FS DACH students.

Solution

Support diagnosed that the templates were using JP2 files which the Document Generator reported as an unrecognized format and that a separate image-upload bug prevented template import. The case was escalated to the vendor (Simovative) with a support ticket opened (Simovative #35936) for fixes and further investigation. The issue remained dependent on vendor action to enable JP2 handling or to provide a workaround for image uploads so that templates could be imported and module-completion certificates issued.

33. Incorrect course/profile metadata displayed in MyCampus upload UI and profile fields
92% confidence
Problem Pattern

MyCampus, MyCampus‑DS and CARE/Community views sometimes displayed incorrect or misleading course or profile metadata, links, contact information, or media. Symptoms included personal/aliased email addresses visible as contacts or as bulk‑mail senders; course titles containing staff-name prefixes; legacy markers or wrong name order in profile display names; broken or incorrect LearnApp/coursebook/module/handbook links or iFrame targets that produced 404s or redirected to IU‑Login, enrollment pages, or calendars; incorrect matriculation numbers or advisor entries derived from bad prerequisites; navigation/FAQ links opening unintended pages; and profile images visible in the site header but not rendered in specific boards or pages. Affected systems included MyCampus (classic and 2.0), MyCampus‑DS, CARE/Community (EN/DE), LearnApp/coursebook resources and calendars/events.

Solution

Course and profile metadata, links and display issues were remediated across MyCampus, CARE/Community and related resources. Course-title metadata was cleaned to remove staff‑name prefixes so upload dialogs and listings displayed only course names. Broken or incorrect LearnApp and coursebook links and iFrame targets were replaced or updated; media‑production and content owners were engaged where content‑ownership changes were required and requesters confirmed corrected URLs loaded intended content. Module/handbook and hidden content targets that redirected incorrectly or returned HTTP 404 were fixed by editing source content and link targets; outdated iu.org upload links in the English CARE/Community iFrame were updated to match the German view and misleading download targets were removed. Calendar-event links that opened the calendar view were changed to course view URLs (for example course/view.php?id=) and affected events were tested. An erroneous prerequisite that produced an incorrect matriculation number (MNR) display was removed after coordination with course management; EPOS/Care held the correct MNRs and removing the bad prerequisite restored correct MNR display. The advisor‑area issue was traced to the Abschlusspruefungs Berater listing where accounts not present received the list’s first item; affected users were contacted and informed when no data change was required. The Fachgebiet field was clarified as editable via the profile edit screen and its use was limited to the Abschlusspruefungs Berater menu. A legacy profile display marker ("[FS]") that could not be changed via the UI was removed by an administrator editing the MyCampus profile. Student‑ID (English) window content was replaced with approved wording to remove misleading single‑email contact text. Multiple incidents of personal, aliased, or private email addresses appearing in UI (module pages, MyCampus‑DS profile/display, and as bulk‑mail sender) were resolved by updating affected accounts to the institutional IU email, correcting incorrect or aliased addresses, and setting IU‑email visibility via administrator account changes; in one confirmed case the bulk‑mail sender value was corrected so the IU address (bernhard.schoch.ext@iu.org) was used in bulk‑mail flows. Support noted that automatic opening of a user’s local mail program (for example on macOS/iMac) was controlled by the user’s OS/default‑mail‑client settings rather than MyCampus. Support recommended collecting Academy IDs to disambiguate users with identical names. Investigations into FAQ and shared links identified variant‑ and session‑dependent redirect behavior rather than a code defect; support documented observed behaviors and provided guidance and template‑owner steps to avoid broken or ambiguous shared links. A navigation/FAQ case where the “Databases and Platforms” link opened an enrollment page instead of the Library overview was resolved by obtaining the required resource from Study Coaching and updating the FAQ and MyCampus navigation links across MyCampus Classic and MC 2.0. A metadata mismatch where MyCampus displayed an incorrect Prüfungsform because Care contained multiple versions of the same course was routed to Kursmanagement with ZPA review; Kursmanagement corrected the exam form on the affected Care course version and the corrected value then appeared in MyCampus. The upload/UI message that referenced an unmonitored email address was edited to remove the outdated contact and to reference the appropriate course owner or support contact; Info‑Center and course owners confirmed that OneDrive/upload provisioning and Course Feeds (Teams) notifications were governed by course/tenant provisioning and by course owners, and messaging was aligned to reflect those ownership and notification timelines. Affected faculty were informed of wording changes and where to find guidance on sharing files and team/course feed ownership. Separately, a profile‑image display report (avatar visible in the myCampus header but not on the Betreuer:innen‑Board) was investigated: support verified the uploaded image existed and recorded no system error; the ticket was closed after advising that the discrepancy had appeared to be propagation/synchronization and view‑rendering related and recommending browser‑side cache clearing, trying alternate browsers, and allowing time for synchronization, as no server‑side change was required.

34. Role and community assignment discrepancies after Care course-status or profile changes
94% confidence
Problem Pattern

After missing, delayed, or mismapped authoritative records or profile-version changes in CARE/DS/EPOS, myCampus and integrated apps showed incorrect roles, memberships, enrollments and UI content. Reported symptoms included errors when changing degree programmes, visible Info‑Centre or thesis documents still associated with a previous programme, opt‑in links failing after profile switches, missing cohorts so courses (UPS/MA) could not be started, inability to book exams or view grade overviews, unsettable tutor/instructor flags, enrollment/booking loops, and loss of Teams or LMS course visibility. Affected systems included myCampus 1.0/2.0, myStudium/mystudium, Moodle/Click-and-Study, Microsoft Teams, CARE, DS imports, EPOS/Simovative, and the Document Generator.

Solution

Investigations repeatedly traced incidents to authoritative-data gaps or mapping mismatches across CARE/DS/EPOS and downstream imports, profile-version or profile-field mispopulation (notably the student-visible email), missing or wrong cohort/community/location/program-family assignments, disallowed or unexpected student-status values, automation-applied blocks, and absent or mismapped external records or permissions (AC5/LDAP, vendor/backend accounts). Remediations consistently required correcting authoritative records or mappings, aligning profile versions and ownership records, removing automation blocks, ensuring vendor/backend and course-team permissions, and reprocessing provisioning/imports/synchronizations so downstream systems reconciled (changes typically propagated within minutes; the longest observed propagation was ~20 minutes). Key observed resolutions included: - Restoring missing or mispopulated profile fields (for example the student-visible email) and correcting CARE community/location or cohort entries, then reprocessing DS/EPOS imports so UI controls, tutor/instructor flags and booking controls returned. - Reassigning or adding missing cohort entries for UPS and MA courses; after cohort assignment and import reprocessing, affected bookings, course start behavior and certificate visibility returned. - Recovering failed opt‑in/link behavior and degree‑change flows by aligning the account’s profile version (myCampus 1.0 vs 2.0) and the authoritative CARE programme/status, then reprocessing imports so programme-selection and opt‑in links worked. - Resolving cases of a student marked as an auditor (Nebenhörer) caused by multiple bookings across program families by reconciling bookings to the correct programme-family and restoring the accepted student-status for Upskilling flows (observed accepted values included “Regular Student” or “Participant (UPS)”), which restored booking and dashboard visibility. - Fixing Info‑Centre or thesis-document mismatches by confirming which programme was active in CARE and re-aligning the downstream Info‑Centre/document mappings; when mapping or programme ownership was controlled outside the support team, cases were escalated to the specialist team or course coordinator. - Reconciling enrollment and booking visibility by correcting authoritative booking/enrollment records in CARE/EPOS and re-running provisioning so course content and certificate download paths returned. - Removing unregistration or provisioning blocks by deleting blocking “started” course tickets and correcting missing curricula/course configuration so imports could complete. - Correcting instructor role/title changes that removed enrollments or visibility by reassigning the authoritative instructor record or performing manual LMS re-enrollment; downstream views updated after sync. - Reconciling duplicate or variant course codes and stale enrollments by merging/removing duplicate CARE shortcodes and reprocessing provisioning, which removed duplicate module listings. - Restoring vendor/external integrations after granting explicit course-management and vendor/course permissions to all linked backend accounts when integrations rejected changes; restoring Microsoft Teams course/channel visibility after re-establishing the instructor’s course/team membership or correcting vendor/backend permissions that map course roles to Teams. - Adding missing external AC5/LDAP records and group memberships and reprocessing imports, which restored program, business-unit, and teacher/admin views, password-reset and downstream syncs. - Test-account issues and program-selection failures were resolved by moving test enrollments into the correct MSD (Test-) study program and applying the appropriate program-family, then reprocessing syncs. Across incidents the consistent, observed fixes were correction of authoritative data or mappings, removal of automation blocks, alignment of profile/version and ownership records, ensuring vendor/backend and course-team permissions, manual re-enrollment or authoritative reassignment when role/title changes affected visibility, and reprocessing provisioning/import/sync events so synchronization restored the expected state.

35. Blank/white exam registration page caused by missing privacy/data-protection consent
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students opening the MyCampus exam-registration or "Online Klausur" pages (MyCampus classic/MCC or MyCampus 2.0 embedding CARE Community) sometimes encountered a blank/white registration area, an empty or continuously loading iframe, or missing student-specific controls (for example, second-attempt selection). Symptoms reproduced across browsers and developer impersonation and included content appearing scrolled out of view or a continuous loading loop without error codes. Triggers included missing required privacy/data-protection consent, missing or invalid student profile data (for example, an absent surname), upstream Care/Care Community service errors, or an iframe-height calculation bug in the embedding utility.

Solution

Multiple distinct causes produced the blank/white/continuously-loading exam-registration area; each cause was investigated and handled separately.

1) Missing privacy/data-protection consent

• Symptom: students without the required privacy/data-protection consent saw the online-registration iframe remain empty.
• What resolved it: the student’s consent was recorded in the exam-registration portal and, after reloading the page, the registration iframe populated and booking functionality returned.

2) Upstream Care / Care Community integration failures

• Symptom: the registration iframe failed to load and student-specific options were absent despite prior approvals; the blank area reproduced across browsers and via developer impersonation.
• What resolved it: the issue correlated with Care/Care Community being unavailable or returning errors; once the upstream service returned healthy responses the iframe loaded correctly and options reappeared.

3) Iframe-height calculation bug in MyCampus 2.0 / MCC embedding

• Symptom: embedding CARE Community pages in MyCampus 2.0 produced an effectively blank iframe because an app-core/MCC height utility preserved a previously larger iframe height when navigating to a shorter page, leaving visible area showing empty content (content scrolled out of view).
• What resolved it: developers fixed the app-core/MCC iframe-height logic and deployed a hotfix so the iframe height adjusted correctly when navigating between pages; the registration content became visible again.

4) Missing or invalid student profile data (account fields)

• Symptom: a student experienced a continuous loading loop of the Examination Registration page with no specific error code shown.
• What was found: investigation identified the student account as missing a surname as a probable root cause. The case was forwarded to the secretariat for profile correction; the ticket was closed without recorded confirmation of the remediation in the ticketing system.

Additional notes

• Helpdesk reproduced symptoms across Chrome and Firefox and used developer impersonation during investigations. Identical visible symptoms could arise from any of the causes above, so triage required checking consent status, upstream Care service health, embedding iframe-height behavior, and required student-profile fields.

36. H5P activity failures due to missing libraries on an outdated Moodle platform
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Some H5P content types (e.g., Interactive Book, Image Slider, Game Map) failed to upload or instantiate in the blue H5P plugin on myCampus with errors indicating required libraries were not installed and required administrator installation. Other H5P items worked partially or worked in a different activity type (black activity). The live system's Moodle version differed from a newer environment where the same H5P content succeeded.

Solution

Developer investigation identified an outdated Moodle version on the live myCampus platform as the root cause; the newer Moodle release automatically provided/installable H5P libraries so the same content could be created there. A temporary workaround was documented (creating the Interactive Book via the black activity) while administrator-level library installation or a platform Moodle upgrade was noted as the corrective action to restore full H5P functionality in the blue activity.

37. Bulk registration session-assignment bug prevented selecting AFAC and misgrouped modules
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

During bulk registrations for DipF2, selecting session code PR0001 prevented the AFAC module from being selected. If the AFAC session code was chosen instead, the remaining modules were incorrectly grouped under the AFAC session so modules ended up assigned to the wrong session. No error codes were shown; the issue affected the bulk registration system and student registration records in the LIBF portal.

Solution

Developers corrected the bulk registration logic that caused incorrect session selection and grouping. After the code change, AFAC could be selected when PR0001 was the chosen session and other modules were assigned to their intended sessions; bulk registration now produced correct session assignments in the student records system.

38. Incorrect resit registration link displayed due to unit enabled in online-registration config
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students sometimes saw 'Register your resit' links for units or qualifications that were not valid resit options because those items remained enabled in the online-registration configuration. Staff attempts to add 'transitional' resits via the Combined Reg interface produced no error but no resit record. Separately, students who used the public walbrook.ac.uk Register button instead of myLIBF's "Register your resit" were routed into CMP2/RRMP registration and had module equivalents matched incorrectly, causing wrong-module enrolments. Affected systems included MyLIBF, the public walbrook.ac.uk site, online-registration (RRMP), CMP2, Combined Reg and the legacy Registration system.

Solution

Incorrect 'register your resit' links on the MyLIBF student homepage were traced to units/qualifications remaining enabled in the online-registration configuration even though they were not valid resit options; removing or disabling the erroneous entries in the online-registration config removed the incorrect links (example: an ABBC unit disabled under the DBBC entry removed the link). A separate issue where a transitional resit (CDCS) could not be added via Combined Reg was resolved by recording the resit in the legacy Registration system because Combined Reg did not record transitional resits; no further changes to the student record were required. Student payments identified (£450 across two payments) were routed to Customer Services / Admissions & Operations and the student payments/record ledger for application or refund. A further, distinct incident of wrong-module enrolment occurred when a student used the public walbrook.ac.uk "Register" button instead of myLIBF's "Register your resit": the registration entered CMP2 mode and RRMP mapping to module equivalents under the (new) qualification, selecting ASEW instead of the intended ASSM. That case was resolved after identifying the incorrect registration pathway and advising use of the myLIBF "Register your resit" flow so the RRMP/resit flow would be used and the correct module mapping applied.

39. Restoring deleted Course Feed after retention window expiry
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Course Feed (news) content for one or more myCampus courses or their associated Microsoft Teams groups appeared missing or empty — news blocks cleared/hidden, labels or forum sections absent, or enrollment/registration fields missing. Affected users often reported no error messages and sometimes supplied suspected deletion dates; in some cases a course short code (Kürzel) had been changed before course start, producing a code mismatch and preventing the feed from associating with the correct course or Teams group. Deletions older than the platform's approximate 30-day retention window frequently failed to restore via standard self-service utilities, and reporting systems occasionally showed stale or inconsistent feed entries after partial or prior restore attempts.

Solution

Specialists diagnosed missing Course Feed content either as a data-deletion/retention issue or as a metadata/association issue and applied the appropriate resolution for each scenario. For deletions within available backup windows, the team identified the most recent backup/restore point containing the missing Course Feed/news content and any associated activities (labels, forum sections) by reviewing platform backups and logs, confirmed the chosen restore point with the requester, and executed the restoration using platform restore utilities (PCG/CPC and backup tooling). Where prior partial restores had left reporting artifacts or stale entries, a specialist-level restore removed those inconsistencies. When Course Feed content had been deleted beyond the platform's approximate 30-day retention window and no platform restore point existed, no platform recovery point was available; for Course Feeds tied to Microsoft Teams groups that needed recovery outside the internal retention window, restorations were performed using AvePoint Cloud Backup — the team confirmed the feed/group was missing in Teams, initiated the AvePoint group restore, and confirmed the group and its Course Feed were restored. For cases where the Course Feed appeared absent because of metadata or association problems (for example, a course short code/Kürzel was changed before the course started and the feed was not associated with the correct course code), the case was escalated to Course Coordination; the responsible unit located or created the Course Feed under the correct course short code and re-linked it to the course/Teams group, after which the enrollment/registration field and group association became available.

40. Bulk/group email in MyCampus failed to deliver to course participants
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Announcements or mass/group messages composed via MyCampus Mass Mail/Bulk-Mail or the 'Nachricht an Terminteilnehmer' feature failed to reach course participants reliably. Symptoms included the mail compose window failing to open (often when a generated mailto: URL contained a long BCC list exceeding common browser/Outlook URL-length limits of roughly 2048 characters), the system not listing Outlook as an available application when launching the mailto link, and messages appearing as sent for the instructor but being delivered only after long delays. Affected systems included MyCampus/MyStudium course messaging, web browsers, Outlook, and Course Feed integrations.

Solution

Investigations identified three distinct failure modes that explained the observed delivery problems. First, the Mass Mail/Bulk-Mail button constructed a mailto: URL with all course addresses in BCC; for larger recipient lists the URL length frequently exceeded common browser and Outlook URL-length limits (roughly 2048 characters), which prevented the mail compose window from opening and blocked sending without producing SMTP error codes. Second, the in-app "Nachricht an Terminteilnehmer" sending function was observed to be unreliable or effectively deprecated in several cases and produced delayed deliveries (messages showed as sent in the instructor’s view but were received by students hours later). Support mitigated impacted cases by exporting participant addresses from the course Dashboard (Bulk-Mail/export) and sending announcements from the instructor’s normal email client or other supported messaging tools; the in-app send function was flagged as deprecated/unreliable and use of a standard mail client or the Info‑Center tool was used instead. Third, some users reported that Outlook did not appear in the OS/application selection dialog when the mailto link was launched; specialists could not reproduce this behavior and indicated it appeared to be a local Outlook/application-association issue. Support recommended choosing “browse other applications” and manually locating/selecting Outlook as a practical workaround, but no systemic server-side fix was identified for that client-side symptom.

41. Certificate of Studies printing 'Error CS' and incorrect programme details for Bridging Pathway students
86% confidence
Problem Pattern

Document generation and downloads for student documents (Certificate of Studies, Immatrikulationsbescheinigung and related PDFs) produced errors or incorrect outputs across MyCampus/MyStudies, CARE (Document Printer), DMSD and the EPOS/dokgen backend. Symptoms included explicit template errors ('Error CS', 'Syntax error'), HTTP 500 on CARE downloads, silent template failures producing missing or generic programme name or intended final degree, incorrect or missing study-duration/semester counts, and incorrect semester validity date ranges. Failures were frequently associated with inconsistent or missing academic-history/semester/cohort metadata, incorrect programme mappings or template/export misalignment; changes to booking records (for example student time-model updates that were applied retroactively) also caused past-semester immatriculation certificates to display incorrect current time-model information. Affected systems included MyCampus Web / Student Frontend, CARE / Document Printer, DMSD, EPOS document-generator (dokgen) and backend document services.

Solution

Document-generation and download issues were resolved by a combination of student-data corrections, template/export alignment, document-generator configuration changes and a vendor bugfix for the CARE UI. Specific remediations included: corrected programme-to-programme mappings and studium.regelstudienzeit entries so Bridging Pathway (CS BPW) codes resolved to the correct standard period; alignment of the MyStudies Certificate of Studies template with the CARE → Document Printer export to provide consistent programme name, intended final degree and duration fields; DMSD immatriculation output changed to use the Finance-tab 'Total duration on the study program' and explicit month→semester mappings were implemented (for example 42M→7 semesters, 36M→6 semesters); correction of semester-validity/date-range configuration so immatriculation certificates used correct winter/summer start–end dates (for example Winter 2024/25 = 01.10.2024–31.03.2025). Werdegang-dependent fields (Gueltigkeit and angestrebter Abschluss) were removed and semester calculations were embedded in templates so certificates could be produced when Werdegang or semester metadata was absent. Student-data inconsistencies (booking/Buchung date ranges, duplicate cohort entries, cohort start dates) were fixed and affected records were reprocessed; cases showing unexplained 'Syntax error' were escalated to dokgen/EPOS specialists for deeper investigation. A Stage-only HTTP 500 CARE download issue was reproduced by the vendor (Simovative) and fixed on Stage. To address printing of historically incorrect immatriculation documents after time-model changes, a print-restriction workflow was implemented and frontend/backend changes were deployed; Student Desk processes, logging and audit flags were updated to block or flag document printing when booking/time-model changes retrospectively altered past-semester data.

42. CARE extension form validation broken by rich-text (bold) formatting
75% confidence
Problem Pattern

Required checkbox fields on the CARE extension application were being bypassed in production: students could submit the form without ticking mandatory selection boxes. The issue only occurred when bold/strong formatting was present in the form description and was not seen in manual tests that used plain text. Affected systems included the CARE extension application managed via Simovative and submissions surfaced in myCampus.

Solution

Simovative reproduced the bug and traced it to the form-rendering/validation handling of formatted description text: bold (/) markup in the description disrupted the client-side required-checkbox validation. They adjusted the validation logic to ignore or correctly handle inline HTML formatting in field labels/descriptions and released a patch. After the patch was deployed and retested on Stage and production, mandatory checkboxes were enforced and submissions with bolded descriptions no longer bypassed validation.

43. FS (distance-learning) students able to self-unenroll from modules
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

Distance-learning (FS) students were observed to be able to perform self-unenrolments ('Abmeldung') from module offers via the Simovative/CARE‑FS portal. A test profile (ML teststudent) successfully unregistered from module DLRHUG02 with no error messages; logs showed the module unregistration event. Affected systems included Simovative (care‑fs), myCampus2 and the LMS enrollment configuration.

Solution

Investigation found the module-offer enrollment configuration in the Simovative/CARE‑FS portal allowed student-initiated unenrolment for FS offers. The module-offer permissions for FS students were adjusted so student self-unenrol was disabled, the configuration for DLRHUG02 was corrected, and the change was propagated to myCampus2/LMS. A test profile was used to confirm the unenrol action could no longer be performed and logs showed no further unintended unregistrations.

44. Wrong-language TTS/read‑aloud audio playing for English course scripts
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Course read‑aloud/text‑to‑speech playback produced audio in the wrong language (e.g., German while on‑screen script was English) or produced no audio because course audio assets were missing. Symptoms were reproducible across browsers and the Learn/MyCampus web and mobile apps (examples: Firefox on Windows 11; Android apps on Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy S23+) and affected the course content player and packaged audio assets.

Solution

Two root causes of incorrect or missing read‑aloud audio were identified and resolved. In one case an outdated audio asset had been packaged with the course; the content team re‑exported the correct English TTS/read‑aloud audio, replaced the old file in the course package, and deployed the updated asset to the Learn/MyCampus content store, after which playback presented the correct English voice. In a separate incident the course’s audio files were absent; the team recreated/regenerated the missing audio files for the affected course, deployed them to the Learn/MyCampus service, and confirmed the read‑aloud function became available again across web (reported on Firefox/Windows 11) and Android mobile apps (reported on Galaxy Tab S7 Android 13 and Galaxy S23+ Android 14). Post‑deployment testing verified restored and language‑correct playback in both scenarios.

45. Poor-quality or interrupted audio in course videos (dropouts, low/unsteady volume)
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students reported course audio that was difficult to understand, exhibited repeated or irregular audio dropouts, and began very quiet or unevenly across multiple videos/lessons. Affected systems included MyCampus 2.0, Kaltura-hosted media, and TTS/production pipelines; there were no software error codes and the issue resembled media production faults.

Solution

The problem was attributed to audio production quality in the media assets. The media/production team reprocessed or re‑recorded the affected audio tracks and replaced the corresponding Kaltura/MyCampus assets. After the updated media was published, playback showed consistent levels and eliminated the reported dropouts.

46. Course booking content, PDF and confirmation-email inconsistencies after enrollment deadline change
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Course booking pages, attached course-booking PDF and the automated confirmation email still referenced the old enrollment deadline of "6 weeks" after policy changed to "8 weeks". The English site and an embedded iFrame were not updated, causing inconsistent messaging between DE and EN pages and in confirmation messages sent to users. A vendor (Simovative) integration and CARE Community booking page were involved.

Solution

The course booking page text occurrences were updated to show the new 8-week deadline, the outdated myStudium_Kursbuchung PDF was replaced with the revised version, and the automated confirmation-email template (sent within 24 hours) was edited to reflect 8 weeks. The English site localization and the embedded iFrame were also updated so both DE and EN pages presented the same information. Changes were coordinated with the Simovative integration to ensure the embedded booking widget matched the updated assets.

47. Microsoft 365 license assignment preventing mailbox and MyCampus access
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

External instructors reported one or more of: successful Microsoft account sign-in but no Office apps (including Outlook Web App) or mailbox visible; 'permission denied' when opening MyCampus/SharePoint pages; or web Office/Teams remained signed into a different tenant (the user’s Windows primary account) and would not switch to the external instructor account. Symptoms included inconsistent account switching across desktop web, desktop apps, and mobile (desktop web/app launcher stuck on the wrong org; desktop Teams or mobile apps could switch), and failed authenticator pairing attempts. Affected systems included Microsoft 365/Azure AD license assignment, Outlook Web App/mailbox access, and SharePoint/MyCampus page permissions.

Solution

Three distinct root causes were observed and resolved. 1) Missing Office apps and mailbox access were traced to incorrect Microsoft 365 license SKU assignments in Azure AD; correcting the user’s license to the appropriate SKU allowed standard propagation (about 30–60 minutes) and Office apps including Outlook Web App and mailbox access appeared, restoring MyCampus functionality. 2) SharePoint/MyCampus “permission denied” errors were traced to the external IU identity not having site/page rights; granting the external account the required permission on the specific SharePoint resource allowed the instructor to open the page. 3) In several cases access failures were caused by multi-account/SSO session conflicts where the Windows primary tenant remained active in the Office web app launcher or web-based Teams, preventing the user from authenticating to the external organization; this presented as the web Office/Teams UI stuck on the wrong org while desktop or mobile apps behaved differently and Authenticator pairing initially failed. Those incidents were resolved by ensuring the external account was used in the web/Office context (for example by signing out conflicting sessions or authenticating in a separate browser profile or re-establishing the authenticator pairing), after which the Office app launcher showed the correct external org, Teams access appeared, and MyCampus resources became available. Tickets that referenced multiple email addresses (external IU vs personal) were resolved by confirming which external IU identity had the required license or SharePoint permissions and using that identity in the affected client context.

48. Exam platform access blocked by outdated iFrame integration and provisional enrollment status
92% confidence
Problem Pattern

Embedded third‑party exam, survey, evaluation and course tools launched from MyCampus sometimes rendered blank or white pages, produced empty, truncated or non‑scrollable iframes, or displayed non‑responsive UI and partially rendered media. Identity/SSO failures manifested as SAML ACS redirects to blank pages, form‑resubmit prompts or session‑expiry messages; downstream applications sometimes returned error pages after MyCampus login or explicit vendor error messages (for example “Wrong exmid… can’t be rated”). Access was also blocked when links were hidden by provisional/inactive enrolments, missing vendor invitations/roles, deprecated activity types, or LTI/redirect URL mismatches.

Solution

Multiple distinct root causes were identified and handled according to ownership and symptoms. Identity and SSO failures (SAML ACS blank/white pages, form‑resubmit prompts and session‑mapping issues) were triaged and escalated to identity/SSO teams and vendors; a minority were temporarily bypassed by reloads, browser changes or private/incognito sessions while vendors investigated. Cases where users authenticated to MyCampus but the downstream application returned an error were triaged with middleware and student‑import teams; HAR traces and session token exchanges were collected and provided to middleware or vendor teams for diagnosis. Embedded viewer and iframe display problems were traced to legacy, incompatible or mis‑deployed iframe endpoints; replacing endpoints with vendor‑compatible URLs restored embedded content (for example the MSE viewer) and fixing a mis‑deployed exam‑registration iframe restored scrolling. Empty dashboard iframes (for example Evasys) and similar failures were treated as either display/iframe issues or student‑data mapping problems and were escalated to evaluations/Evasys teams and vendors for reconciliation. BinderHub/Jupyter notebook failures that returned “Found built image, launching… Internal Server Error” were resolved after the BinderHub vendor applied a service fix and affected notebooks were verified working. Course‑materials failures that displayed misleading errors were traced to redirect URL mismatches interacting with LTI modules and were escalated to LTI/middleware teams for redirect normalization. Inaccessible registration, upload or download links frequently correlated with provisional or inactive course bookings, missing documents, deprecated activity types or missing vendor invitations/roles; normalising bookings/profiles or receiving required vendor invitations restored visibility. Several incidents were transient and resolved when the external service recovered; pragmatic interim access (direct vendor links, browser refreshes, different browser or incognito) restored visibility in many cases. Vendor feature rollout behaviour was recorded as a distinct cause of apparent 'missing' functionality: support verified cases where a vendor icon or entry was present in the UI but the feature was not enabled for that course, and ownership was handed to the course owner or vendor when non‑technical role/invitation restrictions prevented access. Submissions and folders stored in external vendor systems (Turnitin, Peddlepad, Simovative, CARE/LIBF, etc.) were outside IT‑OPS control and were escalated to the central/local examination office or the vendor for folder visibility and access. Vendor‑specific media playback issues in integrations such as Bongo were reproduced across multiple clients and were handled by the exam office or vendor support when no platform fix was available. Cases involving the E‑Assessment/Klausurensystem (EAS) that produced the vendor error “Wrong exmid… can’t be rated” or opened as an empty window were not resolved by client‑side troubleshooting (cookie clear, disabling add‑ons, browser switches) and were escalated to the Klausurensystem vendor and the examination office to reconcile exam‑ID mapping and backend processing; no IT‑OPS technical fix was applied in those incidents.

49. Admin account provisioning restored via username allocation and self-service password setup
91% confidence
Problem Pattern

Some users authenticated successfully via CARE but had no MyCampus account or access rights (including cases where no prior MyCampus sign‑in had occurred so an account was never created). Self‑service password resets sometimes returned errors and administrators saw HTTP 400 or 500 errors when changing EPOS employee emails or assigning the Employee/staff role. Failures were frequently associated with authenticating against a staff/employee login endpoint instead of the regular MyCampus login endpoint. Affected systems included MyCampus, CARE, EPOS and related authentication endpoints.

Solution

Access was restored by provisioning or correcting MyCampus and CARE accounts, credentials and privileges, and by fixing onboarding communications and approver assignments. Support created new CARE accounts from supplied identity details (including instructor-level accounts using institutional addresses and assigning Academy IDs where required), issued temporary credentials or sent the MyCampus/CARE password‑reset ("Forgot password") self‑service link, and confirmed which username form was required for sign‑in (CARE username or institutional email, noting some MyCampus instances use the institutional email as the username). It was confirmed that MyCampus accounts were created only after the first successful MyCampus sign‑in; where users had authenticated to CARE but never signed into MyCampus, an initial sign‑in led to account creation and administrators then provisioned requested permissions (for example by matching a reference user’s rights). Missing course visibility or instructor enrollment was resolved by confirming course membership and routing enrollment tasks to course management teams when needed. Missing admin or user‑management capabilities were restored by assigning appropriate MyCampus roles and explicit rights (for example Student Office role, group rights, tutor rights, lock/unlock privileges), and when users needed to match a colleague’s view administrators replicated the colleague’s rights and adjusted the user’s reference‑person setting. Support noted that account or role changes could require propagation time before updated views or enrollments appeared; records that could not be resolved by self‑service or local provisioning were escalated to MyCampus support, development or platform teams. Where attempts to change EPOS employee emails or assign the Employee/staff role produced HTTP 400 or 500 errors, investigation sometimes showed these were caused by use of the staff/employee login endpoint instead of the regular MyCampus login endpoint and were escalated accordingly. For requests needing a test student, support advised involving the immatriculation department to create a test student account in the specific non‑statistical format required so it would not count in Hochschulstatistik; once the immatriculation team created the test account, that account was used to sign into MyCampus to verify downstream services such as Speexx access and news delivery. Affected users and requesters were notified after changes were applied.

50. Local/ISP network outage blocking external myCampus and GrowthBook logins
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users attempting to register or log in to myCampus received a GROWTHBOOK_CANT_REACH error when the GrowthBook client call failed. The error appeared across multiple browsers and devices (Edge/Chrome on Windows, Safari on macOS) and was intermittent for some users and persistent for others. Intranet/internal sites remained accessible while outbound calls to external GrowthBook and other services failed. Backend and authentication systems appeared healthy, indicating an outbound connectivity failure rather than a site-specific or account error.

Solution

The failures were caused by local/ISP outbound connectivity interruptions that prevented the GrowthBook client from reaching external GrowthBook endpoints during myCampus login/registration. Symptoms included GROWTHBOOK_CANT_REACH errors across multiple browsers and devices, intermittent connectivity events in Datadog, and no backend request failures; standard browser troubleshooting (alternate browser, incognito/private mode, disabling ad blockers, clearing cookies) did not restore access. After the local/ISP network outage and normal internet routing were restored, GrowthBook calls succeeded and myCampus login/registration returned to normal. Observed error payloads (uuid, ac5Id/academyId, programId, bookingId, cohortCode) were used to trace affected requests in logs and monitoring.

51. Enable DMSD student self-enrolment into WPB course lists
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

DMSD students could not self-enrol into certain myCampus course lists (notably Wahlpflichtbereiche WPB A/B/C and Studium Generale) the same way other students could, which prevented access to course content (for example the Exam Guide) and often produced no explicit error codes. WPB C used a separate Studium Generale course list that was not covered by existing mappings. The environment had no configured course bundles or booking constraints for the DMSD program in DS Community, causing students to be unable to book WPB slots and creating a risk of overlapping/double bookings across lists. Affected systems: myCampus, DS Community and CARE (staging and production).

Solution

Course bundles for the DMSD WPB offerings were created in DS Community (including a distinct bundle for WPB C mapped to the Studium Generale list) and each bundle was mapped to the DMSD program family in myCampus. Booking constraints were added to prevent duplicate/overlapping bookings across WPB lists. CARE↔DS Community↔myCampus course mappings and synchronization were updated and the changes were deployed to both staging and production. Functionality was validated with a test user. For immediate access cases where users were blocked from course content (for example the 'Exam Guide' and 'Examination Regulations'), a specialist temporarily restored access by manually enrolling the affected users into those courses.

52. Requesting a public faculty/teaching profile on the IU website
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Staff reported being unable or unsure how to create, publish, or edit public faculty/teaching profiles on the IU website, including adding or linking text within profile content. No error messages were reported. Affected systems: IU public website and IU profile management via the Meldeportal (Jira Service Management). Users asked where to submit requests and which team handled profile content.

Solution

Support clarified that the IU public website and faculty/teaching profiles were managed by a separate web/content team and that requests to create, publish, or edit profile content — including adding or linking text within a profile — were processed via the IU Meldeportal (Jira Service Management). Users were advised to submit a request through the Meldeportal so the website/content colleagues could process, publish, or update the faculty/teaching profile. Tickets were closed after this guidance was provided.

53. IU Learn mobile app deprecation and recommended migration to myCampus app
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users reported uncertainty about whether the IU Learn mobile app was still maintained or scheduled for removal, and they experienced UI/content failures that limited access to course materials. In multiple reports the Learn app displayed only scripts for the BWL (Betriebswirtschaft & Management) program, making it difficult to find materials for other courses; some non‑BWL scripts appeared only via search or under the BWL view. Separately, the deprecated IU Learn app was still being shown or advertised in myCampus portal dashboard/module views (including LIBF MyCampus), causing confusion and requests to remove it. Affected systems included the IU Learn mobile app and the myCampus platform (myCampus Classic, myCampus2, portal dashboard widgets).

Solution

Support confirmed the IU Learn mobile app was no longer maintained and was expected to be removed from app stores in the near term; the myCampus app was identified as the supported replacement. The product team indicated it was unlikely to add an in‑app deprecation notice in IU Learn because the app was out of maintenance. Specialist staff confirmed no further view updates would be made to the Learn app; users were advised that some non‑BWL scripts could still be found by searching (occasionally appearing under the "Betriebswirtschaft & Management" view). For the LIBF MyCampus portal, teams developed and released a new dashboard course widget and rolled it out as part of transitioning dashboard ownership from myCampus Classic to myCampus2; during that rollout the IU Learn app was set to maintenance mode so it no longer appeared in module and checklist views. Tickets were closed after these explanations and UI changes were accepted.

54. Delayed or missing Pearson exam results due to faulty overnight results file
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students did not receive exam results submitted the previous day: PV/logs showed the results feed had been sent but results were not appearing in student records. Symptoms included missing or delayed results display for affected students and discrepancies between Pearson's feed and the internal results processing/import system. Incident typically surfaced after an overnight results transfer and involved Pearson (results/file feed) and internal results-import processing.

Solution

Investigated the overnight Pearson results file and identified an issue in the incoming file that prevented normal import. The file/import issue was corrected and the results feed was reprocessed through the results-import system. After reprocessing, the affected student's result was confirmed as visible in the student record.

55. Document Generator (DokGen) semester-selection, defaulting and template wording errors
63% confidence
Problem Pattern

DokGen-produced enrolment, immatriculation and study documents sometimes rendered as blank pages, showed the advance‑creation message, or were intermittently not visible/downloadable in MyCampus/MyStudium. The period/semester selector exposed incorrect periods, ordering and defaults (including wrong defaults for test, active or on‑leave students) and could select the wrong semester; Certificate of Study outputs and immatriculation validity ranges were incorrectly aggregated or identified for quarter‑structured programmes. Templates occasionally contained duplicated campus/location lines, graphical artifacts (notably in the Zeitmodell field) or incorrect wording, and generation could be blocked by incorrect future‑date bounds that produced a misleading "You cannot create a certificate for the past" error. In some per‑student cases the semester determination was reversed or incorrect due to reliance on inconsistent student‑record fields (for example mismatches between the Hochschulsemester start and the Statistic field "Already studied at university"), causing Immatrikulationsbescheinigungen to be generated for the following or previous semester.

Solution

Backend selection logic, aggregation rules and DokGen templates were corrected and redeployed to address document-generation, period selection and template wording issues. Period selection was restricted to valid selectable periods and listed newest‑first; the default/selected period was made to derive from the student’s actual enrollment/active/leave state so test, active and beurlaubt students no longer received incorrect defaults. Validation and bounds logic that had prevented generation beyond arbitrary future limits (manifesting as a misleading "You cannot create a certificate for the past" error) were investigated with the vendor (Simovative), clarified with product and customer stakeholders, and corrected so certificates could be created for appropriate future periods. The "only re‑registered semesters" filter was fixed to coexist correctly with the 3‑month‑before‑semester‑start rule, and the 3‑month behaviour was corrected so students with valid start dates could generate Immatrikulationsbescheinigungen at the appropriate time. Certificate of Study (SIMO_9917 / MyStudies) aggregation was changed from semester‑level to support explicit quarter‑level aggregation, preventing incorrect aggregation for mid‑semester intakes; semester/quarter identifiers and validity date ranges for quarter‑structured programmes were corrected. Document templates and canonical wording were updated across Immatrikulationsbescheinigung, Certificate of Study and Teilnahmebescheinigung/Certificate of Attendance; duplicate campus/location/address lines and extraneous address fragments were removed and wording harmonised. A previously observed per‑student generation error was resolved and the DokGen→MyCampus/MyStudium delivery and visibility integration was fixed so generated documents were reliably created, visible and downloadable. A field‑level display issue in the Immatrikulationsbescheinigung (the Zeitmodell line) was cleaned by the specialist team to remove extraneous graphical characters, and MSD Immatrikulationsbescheinigung printing was restored for affected records. Additional individual cases of reversed semester selection were identified and escalated to the specialist team; the investigation indicated these anomalies could be triggered when student‑record fields (for example a Hochschulsemester start offset versus an empty or inconsistent Statistic field "Already studied at university") were inconsistent, and specialist remediation and data corrections were engaged to address such per‑student mapping issues.

56. MyCampus timetable database query error preventing schedule display
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Accessing the MyCampus timetable for a particular user produced a database error and the timetable view failed to render in MyCampus, whereas the timetable displayed correctly in Care and no synchronization errors were present.

Solution

Developers diagnosed a failing database query in the MyCampus timetable view, implemented a code fix and deployed it to production. After the deployment the timetable rendered correctly in MyCampus for the affected user and related error logs ceased; the fix was verified and the incident was closed.

57. In-page anchor links on course tiles not scrolling due to hidden/group-restricted sections
70% confidence
Problem Pattern

Many MyCampus (Moodle) tile links that included URL anchors updated the browser URL but did not scroll/jump to the target section on the page. Targets were present in the course but navigation still failed; no explicit client error appeared. The behaviour was observed across multiple tiles and courses.

Solution

Investigators found the root cause was that anchor target sections were often hidden or removed from the DOM by group/permission restrictions or by front-end logic, so the browser could not scroll to targets even though the URL contained the anchor. Remediation involved ensuring the anchor targets were present for the user (adjusting section visibility or group membership) or changing the front-end handling so links only attempted in-page navigation when the target is visible. After correcting section visibility or link targets the anchor navigation resumed functioning.

58. Missing Standortverwaltung (location management) permission despite PA group membership
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

The 'Standortverwaltung' (location management) tab/menu did not appear in the myCampus UI for a user despite their PA/group assignments in Care matching peers. No error messages or codes were shown and re-login did not restore the option. The missing menu prevented location-management actions such as uploading documents for the Prüfungsamt. Affected systems included myCampus UI and Care (user/group/location assignment data).

Solution

Support compared the user’s PA/group and permissions with reference users and aligned the user’s permissions to match those references. Site/location assignments in Care were corrected (expanded where only a subset of sites had been assigned). The Care→myCampus database synchronization was allowed to complete (overnight or otherwise confirmed). After these permission and site-assignment changes and the sync, the Standortverwaltung tab became visible and the user could perform location-management tasks (e.g., upload documents). In cases where necessary, central administration / DS directly enabled the Standortverwaltung permission in myCampus so the option appeared immediately.

59. Missing Turnitin rubric/grading template in MyCampus submissions
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Instructor attempted to grade a student submission in MyCampus/Turnitin but no rubric or grading template was attached to the submission. The grader could not assign a rubric to in-line comments and no grading scheme appeared in the submission view. Affected systems were MyCampus and the Turnitin integration; no error codes were shown.

Solution

IT support confirmed that the university IT team did not have access to manage Turnitin rubrics or assessment templates. The case was not resolved within IT; the requester was advised to contact the central examinations office (for example pruefungsamt@iu.org) so the examinations team — which manages Turnitin grading templates and rubric assignments — could add or attach the required rubric to the submission.

60. Course booking blocked by incorrect capacity/business-rule state in capacity service (Cama)
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

Student-facing course enrollment failed with a "maximum participants full" error despite the course showing a very large configured capacity (32,000) and only ~60+ bookings; manual bookings and impersonation also could not bypass the block. Client-side troubleshooting (different browsers, cleared cache, disabled plugins) did not help. A backend business-rule or capacity state in the course-offer / Cama stack was implicated as the source of the block.

Solution

Support performed client-side checks, then investigated backend services and found the enrollment blockage originated from an incorrect capacity/business-rule state in the Cama capacity management records that the course-offer service relied on. The team corrected the capacity record in Cama to reflect the intended limits and re-synchronized the course-offer service with MyCampus. After the capacity value and business-rule state were fixed and services re-synced, enrollments and manual bookings proceeded normally.

61. Quiz display and scoring errors caused by duplicated/misimported questions
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Quizzes in MyCampus (classic and MyCampus 2.0/practice) sometimes produced incorrect scoring, display, or attempt-state behaviour after imports, migrations, or content-authoring mismatches. Reported symptoms included doubled or inconsistent total points, individual answers graded or flagged incorrectly, blank or missing media, hung or unrecorded attempts, prior attempts appearing as 'Failed' or unfinalized (blocking retakes), and passed quizzes not being recognised by the course script (green 'pass' indicator absent), which could prevent workbook submission. Problems primarily followed question-bank imports/migrations, misexported/mismatched source content, or recognition/attempt-state inconsistencies between components.

Solution

Multiple root causes were identified and resolved across MyCampus systems. Duplicate/misimported question records were removed and canonical question records were relinked to their correct media assets; affected quizzes were republished and attempt/completion metadata was rebuilt so historical and new attempts reflected correct totals and scoring. Source-content and answer-key errors traced to upstream authoring systems were escalated to the Fachteam and Media Production; ownership and content definitions were corrected in the source systems so quiz grading matched course intent. Attempts that were stuck in an unfinalized or inconsistent state (appearing as 'Failed' or blocking retakes) were finalized or guided to finalization and associated quizzes were republished or retake windows reopened as appropriate. Separately, a MyCampus 2.0 recognition defect that prevented the course script from recognising passed quizzes (the green 'pass' indicator did not appear from certain chapters, blocking workbook submission) was fixed by development and deployed in the 2024-12-10 release; after the deployment affected users were asked to retest. After removing duplicate records, relinking missing media, rebuilding attempt/completion metadata, correcting source content, finalizing in-progress attempts, and applying the recognition fix, scoring, media display, attempt recording, completion/retake behaviour, and pass-indicator/workbook-submission flows returned to expected values.

62. OneDrive integration secret expired causing media-library upload failures
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users were unable to upload videos from Microsoft cloud storage (OneDrive or SharePoint) into the myCampus media library. Upload attempts either failed with an error reference ID for live-event recordings or produced unspecified upload errors; some failures were tied to authentication/permissions for site-specific SharePoint accounts. The OneDrive connector had been non-functional since mid-January 2025 and uploads across course media libraries were impacted.

Solution

Two distinct Microsoft-storage related upload issues were identified and resolved. One issue was an expired integration secret/password for the myCampus OneDrive connector (secret expiry in January 2025); a domain change in myCampus and renewal of the expired OneDrive integration secret restored the OneDrive connector and video uploads to the media library. A separate LIBF incident was resolved by accessing the LIBFStudy SharePoint site with the LIBFStudy account (selene-robena.illner@libfstudy.ac.uk) and uploading the videos directly to the LIBFStudy SharePoint site; the ticket was later auto-closed after no further response.

63. Exam booking page rendering broken after update (CARE/Simovative)
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

After a platform update, MyCampus/Simovative exam booking and enrollment pages intermittently failed to render or showed error screens for students and admins. Symptoms included blank or partially rendered enrollment UI, missing course lists or overview fields (grade/booking views), incorrect prerequisite-check results reported as 'not fulfilled', and pages failing to load when embedded via site iframes or redirects. Issues occurred across browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Guardian) and were sometimes associated with Growthbook feature-flag state or iframe/redirect embedding.

Solution

A production deployment containing the final fix was applied to the Simovative platform used by CARE and LIBF integrations. After the deployment, support verified that exam booking and enrollment pages and related overview fields rendered fully in production, and that intermittent blank/incorrect enrollment UIs and erroneous prerequisite-check results that had been blocking course/exam booking were resolved. Prior to the deployment, triage had investigated Growthbook feature-flag state, site iframe/redirect embedding and Hyperion backend ownership and performed browser-level troubleshooting (cache, VPN and account checks), but those investigations did not produce a definitive fix and the issue was cleared by the platform deployment.

64. Simovative 'Add module' failed to show associated course and slow deletion on Stage
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

When adding a module to a study programme the module entry appeared in the UI but the corresponding course was not created, linked, or was linked to a wrong/expired course version; add/delete actions could be blocked by a Simovative platform bug. Affected systems included myCampus and CARE; symptoms included missing course enrollments, courses shown greyed out on student dashboards, and slow module deletion on Stage compared with Live.

Solution

The faulty deployment was rolled back to restore the previous behaviour and a code fix was developed and released in 17.10.14, which restored correct module→course population. Live performance returned to normal after the rollback; Stage continued to exhibit slower deletions until additional staging performance fixes were applied. In a related incident investigators confirmed an expired/wrong course version had been linked (causing the course to appear greyed in myCampus and enrollments to be missing in CARE) and that the Simovative bug was preventing add/delete operations on the platform. Correcting the linked course version and applying the Simovative fix (included in the release) restored course visibility and allowed enrollments to proceed.

65. Persistent myCampus pop-up not dismissed by corner 'X' button
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

myCampus UI pop-ups repeatedly reappeared or auto-started despite user attempts to dismiss them, including onboarding "click tour" modals that continuously restarted and blocked dashboard access. Separately, selecting text could trigger a selection overlay that auto-opened and blocked glossary/word-explanation popups. Affected systems included the myCampus web UI and the MyCampus app (reproduced on iPad iOS 18.1.1 and desktop browsers).

Solution

Two frontend fixes were implemented and deployed to the myCampus web UI and MyCampus app. First, the pop-up close control (corner 'X') was changed so that closing a message correctly updated and persisted its dismissed state; previously-dismissed informational messages (including onboarding tour notices) no longer reappeared on subsequent logins. Second, the text-selection and glossary interaction was adjusted so the selection overlay no longer auto-opened in a way that blocked glossary/tooltips; an explicit small “info” icon was added next to words with stored explanations to improve discoverability and access to glossary content. These fixes were deployed to web and iOS (issue observed on iPad iOS 18.1.1). For instances that were user-specific (for example, a continuously restarting onboarding tour that could not be reproduced by support), support replaced the user’s private email with the institutional (IU) email on the account and provided local troubleshooting guidance (try an alternate browser, reset browser settings, and relax overly restrictive privacy/security settings) when the behavior appeared tied to the user’s environment.

66. Attendance list save inaccessible when not using instructor profile
85% confidence
Problem Pattern

Instructors could not save participant attendance entries because the attendance list view was not available or editable when the user was not signed in via their instructor profile. Symptom included the attendance list being invisible or save actions failing without explicit error codes. Affected systems: myCampus attendance feature and web session/profile context.

Solution

Support confirmed the issue was related to the active profile context. The instructor accessed the attendance list by signing in through their instructor profile; once signed in via that profile the attendance list appeared and participant attendance could be recorded and saved. The case was escalated to specialists for visibility but the immediate resolution was restoring access via the correct profile session.

67. Login redirect loop caused by missing CARE bookings
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

After SSO, users could not reach the myCampus dashboard: symptoms included an endless redirect/refresh loop, a blocking error STUDY_INFO_NO_ACCESS with message 'no booking information available', STUDY_INFO_CANT_REACH, or a blank page. Failures occurred when the booking backend (CARE/AC5 or course/lecturer booking data) returned no bookings, an empty ac5Id, or malformed/invalid booking records. Affected systems included the myCampus web portal, booking backends (CARE/AC5), SSO/account provisioning components (Okta/LDAP/EPOS), and course coordination systems.

Solution

Engineering reproduced login failures and traced them to missing, empty, malformed, or invalid booking data from upstream booking systems (CARE/AC5 and course/lecturer booking services). Two primary failure modes were observed: an endless authentication/redirect loop, and immediate blocking errors such as STUDY_INFO_NO_ACCESS ('no booking information available') or STUDY_INFO_CANT_REACH/blank pages when booking data was unavailable or ac5Id was empty. To mitigate the user-impacting redirect loop, a backend change was deployed to the authentication/redirect logic so accounts receiving missing or malformed booking responses could complete login and reach the myCampus home (/home) instead of looping. Multiple incidents were resolved by correcting upstream booking data or provisioning: invalid Health University booking records were identified and deactivated, AC5 sync or LDAP/Okta provisioning issues were fixed, and EPOS/administration or lecturer/course-coordination teams restored proper course-booking links. Support also used account impersonation to verify whether the portal itself rendered correctly for a given account, which helped distinguish client-side/browser issues from upstream booking or provisioning failures. Standard client-side troubleshooting (clear cache/cookies, incognito, alternate browser) did not resolve issues when the root cause was missing or invalid booking data.

68. Missing DS access on existing myCampus account required specialist provisioning
91% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users reported incorrect or missing myCampus study‑unit selection (DS shown as FS or vice versa), missing DS/FS unit‑switch toggle, unit mapping recorded as 'N/A', or inability to select the DS unit at all. Symptoms included missing course calendars or embedded lecture schedules, hidden DS/FS‑specific UI and actions (uploading materials, exam registration, supervisee management), and calendar edit failures including recurring events saved as single occurrences. Problems were observed across myCampus view selection, InfoCenter, Course Feeds, Care assignments, and Moodle/AC5 or backend role‑sync processes; some unit‑switch changes did not take effect immediately or remained blocked for days/weeks.

Solution

Investigations repeatedly identified four root causes: the frontend displayed the wrong study‑unit view, the account lacked course/unit assignments, the user was missing Care group membership, or backend entitlements/role assignments were absent or not yet synced. When only the frontend view was incorrect but backend roles and course assignments were present, switching the myCampus view restored DS/FS course visibility and lecture‑management features. Embedded services (for example Vorlesungsplan) sometimes required a separate authentication; a second sign‑in restored those embeds. The myCampus calendar was course‑specific and became visible only after assignment to at least one course; calendar write permission was a distinct entitlement and had been granted separately in multiple cases. Recurring‑event series saved as single occurrences co‑occurred with missing calendar write permission or incorrect unit/course assignment and were resolved after granting calendar write entitlement or correcting the unit/course mapping. Missing DS course bookings or enrollments were resolved by verifying and adding or updating course assignments in Care. Assigning users to Care groups such as dozent_ds (and equivalent DS instructor groups) restored Tutor Unit Wechsel and DS edit controls where applicable, but in several incidents frontline group additions (for example Dozent_DS, DS_Dozenten, ProfessorIn_DS) did not immediately restore access; those cases were escalated to the responsible department or specialist provisioning teams. Specialist provisioning granted missing DS‑specific entitlements and replicated required administrative roles; specialists verified parity by comparing the affected account to a reference account and, when applicable, changed the login to the IU email while preserving the username. Accounts with unit mapping recorded as 'N/A' were corrected to the appropriate unit (for example 'DS'), which restored DS‑only edit controls such as practice‑report editing. Hidden student or lecturer UI elements became visible after the required permissions were granted and after the next scheduled backend sync (Moodle/AC5 and role‑sync); cases where the displayed view did not change immediately were attributed to sync timing, missing assignments, or incomplete specialist provisioning. Students fully blocked from the DS instance were resolved by Study Support or enrollment teams correcting enrollment or provisioning records. When the DS/FS toggle was missing, specialists distinguished cases that required fachabteilung registration (FS‑specific supervisor profiles) from cases where the toggle was intentionally unavailable. A minority of tickets had no recorded final fix in the frontline notes; those historically required specialist entitlement changes, Care/unit reassignment, or further escalation to the owning department to complete remediation.

69. Student registration blocked by validation error (postcode/address) requiring manual clearance
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

Student registration remained invalid and platform access/course material delivery was blocked despite correct postcode/address input; the system reported a generic 'reg problem' or registration validation error. Symptoms included no course materials and stalled transfer to external exam provider. Affected systems: LIBF registration database and transfer pipeline to Pearson.

Solution

Support staff manually cleared the registration in the LIBF system and set the registration status to valid. The updated registration was queued for the next transfer to Pearson so external exam-provider processing could proceed.

70. Phantom or stale course enrollments reappearing on student dashboards due to upstream CARE sync
91% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students and staff saw phantom or stale courses, modules, or course‑related actions listed in MyCampus (active and inactive) that they had not attended or expected to be removed; locally deleted items sometimes reappeared after upstream synchronisations. Users reported missing current courses or incorrect access rights, participant lists or student counts that included past semesters or planning groups, completed evaluations still shown as “open”, and MyCampus 2.0 booking failures — including the explicit error “you are exmatriculated” — while the old view sometimes allowed the same action. Some MyCampus views reflected canonical enrolment or booking records in upstream systems (CARE/CMaaS), including batch enrollments, legacy/exmatriculation bookings, or duplicate active bookings that caused conflicts or prevented booking.

Solution

Support removed visible phantom courses or enrolment entries from affected MyCampus profiles but confirmed those items repeatedly reappeared while canonical upstream records persisted. Investigators checked CARE enrolment records and the CARE change‑history/audit log and frequently found batch or staff‑performed enrollments, legacy/exmatriculation bookings (for example entries marked “Dereg due to open fees”), or duplicate active bookings that explained reappearance or booking conflicts. In booking incidents, MyCampus 2.0 sometimes returned an explicit “you are exmatriculated” error when a legacy/exmatriculation booking was present and could be selected among multiple copies of a study programme; booking in the old view worked in some cases because it used different booking selection rules. Incidents were resolved after the responsible upstream teams (CARE/Kursmanagement, CMaaS/IU, Course Coordination/Kursmanagement FS, local course coordinators, CareerPartner or external providers) corrected, disabled, or removed the canonical enrolment/booking records so the items were no longer repopulated on the next sync; deactivating duplicate or exmatriculation bookings cleared booking conflicts and restored MyCampus 2.0 booking functionality. In one case reprovisioning correlated with Microsoft Teams membership and removal from the Teams group stopped reappearance. A discrepancy in participant counts was traced to inclusion of past‑semester or other planning‑group students and was addressed by restricting the participant‑list view to the current semester/lecture series via its filters. The symptom of completed evaluations shown as “open” was escalated to the Minerva/evaluations team and the Exams Office because of potential exam‑registration impact. During triage, support forwarded tickets to specialist teams when appropriate, reported CARE provenance findings (change‑history/audit entries) to the responsible course managers, informed users that the IT‑Service Portal did not manage upstream canonical records, and directed them to the relevant course‑management channel; tickets were closed after confirmation that upstream records had been corrected, disabled, or duplicate bookings deactivated.

71. myCampus loading/login failures and browser-specific flicker tied to cached state or browser choice
86% confidence
Problem Pattern

myCampus web sessions and integrated services intermittently failed to complete or users were unexpectedly logged out. Symptoms included indefinite loading spinners or continuous loading loops, flickering or auto‑closing login windows, rapid redirect/login loops, pages reporting “not logged in” or showing stale input, explicit “Incorrect username or password” despite valid credentials, and missing MFA/email verification codes. Failures were often browser-, session-, device-, OS- or extension-specific (including ad blockers or other extensions forcing iframe loads), and sometimes affected integrated services or UI elements such as participant lists or virtual lecture rooms.

Solution

Investigations grouped incidents into two primary root causes: corrupted or stale client-side session state (browser, device, peripheral or extension interactions) and server/provider-side authentication, resource or configuration problems. Client-side incidents repeatedly resolved when sessions were opened in private/incognito windows, after switching browsers or devices, or following full browser cache and cookie clears plus a browser restart; enabling third‑party cookies produced occasional one‑time successful logins. Diagnostic HAR and browser logs identified cases where extensions or add‑ons (including ad‑blockers) injected pages into iframes or blocked authentication redirects and produced continuous loading loops; those sessions recovered when the interfering extension was disabled or when users signed in with extensions inactive (for example, in incognito). Desktop failures correlated with third‑party cleaners or antivirus (examples: CCleaner, Avast) and some users required a full OS reboot or a system update (one macOS case resolved after the OS update). One integrated‑service case (Growthbook) showed no server-side errors in Growthbook logs and was attributed to a client-side blocker; disabling the AdBlocker was recommended though no definitive fix was recorded in the ticket. A LIBF MyCampus incident reported continuous page flashing across Safari and Chrome on Mac and mobile plus non‑delivery of MFA verification emails to the institution address; the ticket recorded troubleshooting attempts but no definitive remediation. Server- and provider-side incidents were traced to OAuth2/SSO or provider errors, monitoring/instrumentation overload, or infrastructure resource exhaustion. Specific infrastructure findings and remediations included php-fpm pool saturation (max_children reached), elevated PHP CPU caused by the Datadog PHP module (deactivating the Datadog PHP module significantly reduced PHP CPU, relieved web servers, and restored self‑checks and login tests), operating‑system file‑descriptor exhaustion ('Too Many Open Files'), nginx connection drops and file‑open errors, Moodle session creation/search failures, and database transaction aborts/timeouts/locking that caused request delays or failures. Isolated client-side stuck sessions consistently recovered after clearing client state, disabling interfering extensions, or rebooting the device; broader incidents returned to normal only after backend/provider remediation and infrastructure fixes (for example, removing the Datadog PHP module and addressing php‑fpm, file‑descriptor, database and nginx stability issues). Access to staging required a valid stage account and the correct staging URL.

72. Transient synchronization delays causing uploaded course materials to be temporarily invisible and bulk-mail freezing
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Files and recorded media uploaded to myCampus lecture/upload areas were sometimes visible to instructors but not to students; affected student web pages could render blank with no error messages while the IU mobile app might show different content. Incidents occurred as transient LMS content synchronization (VLR) delays — which also made the 'mail an die Veranstaltungsreihe' bulk-mail action appear frozen — and as client-specific rendering or caching problems affecting individual students. Affected systems included myCampus web, the IU mobile app, and the VLR synchronization service; issues were typically reported during or immediately before teaching events.

Solution

Support confirmed uploaded files were placed in the correct lecture/planning groups and treated two distinct root causes. For synchronization cases, the VLR (LMS content sync) service was sometimes pending; visibility and frozen bulk-mail behavior typically cleared when the pending sync completed (commonly within about an hour, occasionally by the next business day or within a few days). When required, the specialist team manually triggered synchronization for the affected course(s) or across the environment to propagate files faster, after which student visibility and mail functionality returned. For client-specific cases where content was present for instructors but not for particular students (including differences between myCampus web and the IU mobile app), Tech Support guided students through client troubleshooting — verifying account and course enrollment, collecting screenshots, testing a different browser, clearing cache/cookies, using private/incognito mode, and testing another device or network — and recorded outcomes. Where visibility issues persisted after these checks, support requested 1–2 example student accounts for investigation and escalated to the specialist team. Any upload-location or access ambiguities (notably with external lecturers) were clarified with the requester via Microsoft Teams. The behaviour was treated as transient synchronization delay or client-side rendering/caching issue rather than a platform bug.

73. Missing group membership or role permissions blocked uploads or myCampus view for staff and students
92% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users reported missing or inaccessible MyCampus course content and disabled or hidden upload controls. Symptoms included entire course materials or instructor names missing for some users, absent or disabled instructor upload controls or tabs, 'permission denied' or 'must join a group' messages without a join option, inability to open integrated tools, and persistent loading spinners/timeouts; support impersonation sometimes showed full access while the real user did not. Affected systems included MyCampus enrollment, group membership and CARE community-access (including CARE group linkage failures caused by naming/nomenclature mismatches), VLR rights synchronization, role/permission assignments, FS-course format restrictions, and client-side session/browser-state issues.

Solution

Multiple incidents were traced to permission/enrolment mismatches, format-specific access policies, CARE group linkage issues caused by incorrect nomenclature, and client-side/session browser-state differences. Resolutions observed in the corpus included:

• Correcting CARE group linkage: CARE entries with incorrect nomenclature were fixed so the user’s group was linked and became visible in MyCampus; teams noted that myCampus/CARE synchronization could take time and confirmed visibility after propagation.
• Re-synchronizing VLR rights for affected courses which restored visibility after propagation.
• Correcting course enrollments and group assignments in course-management which returned file access and course material visibility.
• Repairing accounts via CARE by adding missing community access and aligning a user’s permissions to a reference user; access was restored after permissions were matched.
• Granting the myCampus permission set to affected ACA/staff accounts by mirroring a reference user when permission drift was detected.
• Enabling or restoring the instructor upload control when the upload UI had been disabled or hidden.
• Identifying FS‑course format policy as the cause when tutors from other program formats could not upload into FS courses; existing materials were accessible to students but cross‑PF tutors could not add files and were advised to share materials outside the FS course.
• Treating persistent loading/spinner failures as session/browser-state issues (browser cache, cookies, third‑party‑cookie behavior) when support impersonation bypassed the problem.

When support lacked direct authority to change student permissions, accounts were escalated to techsupport@iu.org or routed to the owning course‑management team (kursmanagement-[standort]@iu.org or kursmanagement-fernstudium@iu.org for users without a campus). Library enrollment requests were routed to library@iu.org. News‑module attachment visibility problems were escalated to developers; a temporary workaround copied attachment content into the news post body so students could access it. The missing mentoring 'Become a mentee' control was identified as an intentional, limited rollout during the Minerva transition rather than a permissions error.

74. MyLIBF content anomalies and recertification payment-screen capture issues
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

MyLIBF showed incorrect assessment-related links (a 'resit' link) on student course records where no resit opportunity existed, and staff were unable to reach or capture the Recertification 'Submit CPD log for recertification' payment screens for documentation purposes.

Solution

Helpdesk/Digital Learning removed the inappropriate resit link from affected students' MyLIBF course displays. Separately, support reproduced the recertification CPD submission workflow and provided updated screenshots of the submit flow, email confirmation, payment screen (card and employer-pay options) and payment confirmation pages for documentation.

75. FAQ content inaccessible due to insufficient myCampus read permissions
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

After successful login to MyCampus/CARE, the FAQ tab or FAQ content was missing or inaccessible for affected accounts (including administrator accounts) while visible to reference users. Direct links to FAQ pages sometimes failed or returned an unspecified error; other UI areas (course dashboard, calendar, news) remained accessible. Symptoms persisted across browsers and sessions and remained after clearing browser cache/cookies or using private/incognito mode.

Solution

Support identified insufficient myCampus FAQ read permissions on the affected account as the cause. A specialist compared the user’s permission set with a working reference account and aligned the rights, explicitly granting FAQ read access; the same approach resolved the issue for administrator accounts. Prior user-side troubleshooting (clearing browser cache/cookies, private/incognito mode, trying other browsers) had not resolved the symptom. Permission updates required propagation time; FAQ visibility was typically restored after synchronization (commonly by the following day). In some cases the permission change process resulted in broader rights than intended; affected users reported excess permissions and specialists performed follow-up role/rights adjustments where needed.

76. Browser 'your connection is not private' errors blocking library full‑text on IU‑managed laptops (missing/trusted TLS root)
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users on IU‑provided laptops were unable to open fulltext links from library services (EBSCO Discovery, Springer) and Google Scholar; browsers (Edge/Chrome) showed "your connection is not private" TLS/SSL warnings or returned to the search screen. Problem occurred on multiple networks (campus Wi‑Fi, home, mobile hotspot) and across browsers, while system date/time was correct, indicating a local device trust/SSL interception issue rather than upstream site outage.

Solution

Support determined the failure was caused by the device not trusting the enterprise TLS chain (SSL inspection/proxy or missing enterprise root CA). Technicians restored trust by importing the institution's root/intermediate CA into the Windows certificate store and browser stores and corrected the device's web‑filter/SSL‑inspection configuration on the IU laptop. After the enterprise CA was installed and the SSL‑interception settings were fixed, fulltext links on EBSCO, Springer and Google Scholar opened normally in Edge and Chrome across networks.

77. MyCampus News lacking read-tracking and clear content preview
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

MyCampus News items showed only headlines by default, making it hard for users to tell which posts they had already seen or to preview full content. Users reported confusion about read/unread status and requested a way to mark or check off news posts. The issue affected the MyCampus News module and user experience for students and staff.

Solution

The usability concern was collected as a product suggestion and forwarded to the MyCampus specialist/product team. The product manager accepted the item into the product vision and added the read-tracking/mark-as-read feature request to the backlog. The team acknowledged the request and classified it as a long-term enhancement; no implementation timeline was provided in the ticket.

78. Instructor profile incomplete in myCampus due to missing CARE group membership
91% confidence
Problem Pattern

Instructors' myCampus/myStudium profiles showed incomplete instructor views: calendars and course content were missing, left-column teacher options (messaging, lecture-room link creation, 'Get started') were absent, dashboards listed only personal courses, and myStudium's 'Tutor Unit wechseln' option sometimes did not appear. Some users also reported the 'Betreuer' (supervisor) section or the ability to set supervisor capacity for bachelor theses was missing from their profile settings. Affected systems included myCampus, myStudium, CARE/EPOS, CARE→myCampus (AC5) synchronization, Course Management and central examination office controls.

Solution

Investigations identified four distinct causes for the limited instructor experience and the missing supervisor option. First, accounts that lacked required CARE (Care Academy) group memberships caused missing course tools, calendar entries and restricted dashboard visibility; adding the missing CARE groups restored tools and visibility once the CARE→myCampus (AC5) synchronization completed. Administrators also synchronized backend databases and ran a manual AC5 sync in the myCampus profile to expedite propagation when immediate access was required. Second, accounts that used the wrong profile type in CARE/EPOS (employee/staff vs. lecturer) required creating or converting to the appropriate lecturer or staff profile in CARE/EPOS; correcting the profile adjusted dashboard visibility and restored access to course content, messaging and the 'Get started' options. Third, missing or incorrect course or tutor‑unit bookings in CARE (including instructors with no bookings or only a single unit) resulted in nothing or only limited course data being transferred to myCampus and caused the 'Tutor Unit wechseln' option to be absent; confirming or correcting bookings in Course Management and verifying assignments in the Dozierenden App allowed the standard sync to populate course listings and UI elements. Temporary myCampus permission adjustments were applied in some cases to let users verify access while waiting for the overnight CARE→myCampus synchronization. Fourth, the supervisor ('Betreuer') section and the option to set supervisory capacity for bachelor theses were controlled by the central examination office rather than by CARE group membership; cases where this option was missing were forwarded to the central examination office (zpa-dualesstudium@iu.org) and users were instructed to have the office enable supervisor status. Each issue was resolved by applying the corresponding corrective action and allowing the relevant synchronizations to complete.

79. MyCampus endless redirect/loop in Mozilla Firefox caused by cached cookies/state
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Mozilla Firefox users reported MyCampus failing to complete authentication or entering an endless redirect/loop when accessing modules: the login page appeared but authentication did not complete or sessions repeatedly redirected with no explicit error. The issue persisted across sessions in Firefox while other browsers (e.g., Edge) allowed access.

Solution

Access was restored in many Firefox cases after removing Firefox-specific cookies and cached site data (per Mozilla guidance); after cookie/site-data removal MyCampus loaded normally. Testing in Firefox private/incognito mode also allowed access in affected sessions. Clearing general browser history alone had not resolved the issue. In some cases where cookie/cache removal did not restore authentication, users were able to access MyCampus successfully in Microsoft Edge; those incidents were forwarded to specialists for further investigation.

80. Application Manager submissions failing due to user-recognition issues from SSD
85% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students using the MyCampus 2.0 Application Manager were blocked from submitting applications by an immediate validation error stating "not all mandatory fields have been filled in" despite all fields being completed. In some cases the error caused all of a student's applications or drafts to become invisible. Multiple students across browsers were affected and the fault was suspected to be related to the student-data store (SSD) not recognising user records.

Solution

Developers applied a server-side correction to the user-recognition logic tied to SSD records. An initial deployment on 2025-03-14 stopped the immediate submission failures for many users and eliminated the false "not all mandatory fields have been filled in" validation errors. Follow-up fixes addressed remaining cases where applications or drafts became invisible after the error. A final verification on 2025-04-08 confirmed the students reported in the incidents could successfully submit requests. The issue manifested across browsers and was not attributable to browser plugins or simple cache/browser settings.

81. Support-issued password reset link for user unable to access MyCampus
91% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users were unable to access tenant-specific myCampus web portals: they could not sign in at the expected tenant URL or login endpoint, could not open tenant login pages, or could not complete password-reset or Welcome-email flows. Reported symptoms included temporary 'account blocked' messages, successful Okta authentication that nevertheless did not grant tenant access, missing or inaccessible myCampus app/tile, failed login events in activity logs, and accounts marked inactive/expired after dormancy. Users sometimes attempted the wrong login endpoint (for example using employee vs tenant URLs) or encountered client/network barriers (browser cache/cookies, firewall or VPN) that prevented loading the tenant page or completing resets. Affected systems included tenant myCampus portals, Okta authentication, and downstream integrations (for example Outlook or Turnitin) dependent on MyCampus access.

Solution

Support verified the user’s identity and tenant membership and confirmed the correct tenant-specific myCampus portal and login endpoint (for example distinguishing normal vs employee logins, and tenant-specific domains such as mycampus.libf.ac.uk). Support checked whether the user authenticated successfully to Okta and whether the tenant-specific myCampus app/tile was present or accessible, and reviewed account activity and authentication logs to correlate failed logins, password changes, and subsequent successful logins. When password-reset or Welcome emails were missing or undelivered, support checked inbox and spam folders and sent MyCampus password-reset links to all contact addresses on record; where multiple addresses existed, links were sent to each address and tenant guidance was communicated. For accounts that had become inactive, expired, or were temporarily blocked, support restored access by performing password resets and sending instructions so users could set new passwords; at least one user regained access after a temporary block cleared prior to using a sent reset link. In incidents where the password-reset flow itself malfunctioned, support restored the password-reset service and had users retry the reset; access was restored after the users changed their passwords via the reset links. When tenant login pages would not load or resets could not be completed, support investigated client and local-network causes (for example browser cache/cookies, local firewall or VPN effects) and collected screenshots and location details for further troubleshooting. Support noted that downstream services relying on MyCampus authentication (for example Turnitin and tenant account integrations with IU Outlook) remained inaccessible until MyCampus access was restored; Outlook integration problems required additional screenshots/location details and had no documented final fix in matched tickets. Tickets were closed after reset links were delivered and received, the reset service was restored, or the user confirmed successful access.

82. Missing group-specific teaching-materials folder caused upload UI to be absent
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Upload controls (upload buttons or group-specific folder links) were missing from a course's teaching-materials area or from the course dashboard/video gallery, preventing instructors from uploading materials. No error codes were shown; the symptom typically affected a single course or a specific course-group combination. Affected components included myCampus teaching materials, ILSE/video gallery and the course dashboard.

Solution

Support restored missing upload UI controls by addressing two distinct causes observed in reported cases. For group-specific cases in the myCampus teaching-materials area, specialists created or enabled the missing group-specific folder and activated the group's upload permission; after the folder and permission were provisioned the upload UI reappeared under 'II. Deine Lehrmaterialien'. For dashboard/ILSE video-gallery cases, a previously disabled course/dashboard configuration setting that hid upload buttons was identified and enabled; after saving the setting the missing buttons reappeared and upload functionality worked. In all cases the change was applied at the course or course-group level and the instructor confirmed the upload controls were restored.

83. Participant list appears empty because no students were enrolled
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Instructor saw an empty participant list for an upcoming lecture series in myCampus (participant list showed no students, no error codes). The instructor required the list to contact students before the lecture start date.

Solution

Specialist staff checked the course enrollment records and confirmed that no students were enrolled in the lecture series. The instructor was informed that this was not an IT-side problem and was advised to contact their academic/administrative coordinator to address enrollment timing; the ticket was closed after providing this information.

84. Course Feed membership and removal limits (students vs staff)
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Course Feed membership lists were incorrect or changed rapidly: membership counts sometimes dropped dramatically with remaining entries marked 'pending' and some users losing access. Users occasionally encountered an explicit channel connectivity error ("We can't find that channel due to connectivity issues. Please try again later.") or could join online sessions but were unable to view chat. Some students could not add courses via MyCampus, tutors were unable to add users, and self‑unsubscribe failed for users after modules were transferred or marked inactive. Automated synchronisation processes also caused unexpected add/remove actions, including repeated removal of course owners.

Solution

Course Feed membership and removal incidents were investigated across several causes and remediations were applied according to observed root causes. Normal behaviour and support boundaries: students were ordinarily able to remove themselves via the Course Feed self‑unsubscribe option; support staff did not have access to student accounts and could not add students on behalf of tutors or academic contacts. Enrollment-reset defect: a recurring defect that reset Course Feed enrollment when modules were transferred or marked inactive prevented affected students from successfully self‑unsubscribing, caused continued Course Feed email notifications, and left users in Teams/Office365 groups; that defect generated high ticket volumes and was escalated to WebCore/BE Learn and migration teams for deeper inspection. Channel/connectivity and chat symptoms: some incidents presented as a channel connectivity error (“We can't find that channel due to connectivity issues. Please try again later.”) or as users joining online sessions but being unable to view chat; those cases were handled as access/membership problems and routed to the appropriate learning‑experience or platform teams because support lacked direct access to student accounts. Automation and synchronization: separate incidents of unexpected membership changes, including repeated owner removals, were traced to an automated synchronisation process (LogicApps automation account) that synchronised MyCampus Course Feed membership with Office365/Azure groups; audit logs showed add/remove actions from that automation. Remediations performed included changes to synchronization rules, revisions to automation logic, and a review of Office365/Azure group membership flow and ownership. Single‑feed limitation and channel enrolment logic: the Course Feed’s single‑feed limitation (after legacy forum removal) prevented creation of additional student‑only channels in large courses; temporary workarounds were provided while forum removal and channel‑limitation issues were handled separately. Automated enrolment into teacher/exchange channels was traced to synchronisation using Teaching Formats/CPC roster data and Course Feed group logic; responsibility and ownership of that enrolment flow were clarified and assigned to product owners. Incidents with no technical fix recorded were routed to the Learning & Teaching Experience service portal for further investigation.

85. Application Manager errors in MyCampus caused by incorrect CARE application records
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Blocking error messages occurred when opening the Application Manager (Antragsverwaltung) or when clicking specific application links in myCampus (classic and myCampus 2.0 / myC2). In some cases clicking a user in the myCampus user list did not open Antragsverwaltung. Expected application/menu items were missing from the applications dropdown, and some myCampus 2.0 form-field labels or dropdown options appeared incorrect (for example language-selection). Affected systems included myCampus (classic and 2.0), Antragsverwaltung, CARE and SSD; issues were reported across multiple students and were browser-independent.

Solution

Multiple, recurring root causes explained the Application Manager failures, missing items and access failures and were resolved using targeted fixes. Incorrect or incorrectly linked CARE application records (for example records pointing to the wrong degree programme) produced blocking errors or absent items; fixing CARE application entries and their linkages restored Application Manager actions and menu items. SSD had sometimes merged two CARE applications into a single SSD record; MyCampus 2.0 applied degree-level visibility filters (Bachelor vs Master) to the application dropdown, which hid items that still existed in CARE; affected students were informed that the displayed menu reflected the merged SSD entry and degree-level visibility rules while records were reconciled. A synchronization bug in the CARE→MyCampus process produced inconsistent or incomplete linkability (including cases where clicking a user in the myCampus user list did not open Antragsverwaltung); the CARE/synchronization specialist team fixed the sync bug and support confirmed access restoration. Some application links and Antragsverwaltung items had been implemented or configured in CARE instead of in MyCampus; those tickets were reassigned to the CARE component and fixed on the CARE side. A small class of UI-only defects in MyCampus 2.0 form-field configuration produced incorrect dropdown labels or options (for example the Abschlussarbeit form’s language dropdown); the form configuration values were corrected and deployed to production. While underlying CARE/SSD records were reconciled or synchronization fixes were applied, support temporarily restored visibility or provided direct application URLs and impersonated screenshots so students could meet urgent deadlines. After CARE/SSD record corrections, synchronization fixes, or MyCampus form-configuration fixes were applied and deployed, Application Manager actions and menu visibility returned to expected behaviour.

86. MyCampus 2.0 migration exclusions for KS/part‑time (Teachout) students
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students in teachout cohorts or specific study programs were observed on the MyCampus classic interface despite opting into MyCampus 2.0; affected users reported missing Payments controls, blank 'Help & Contact' pages, or blocked exam access. Symptoms included the dashboard remaining on MyCampus classic, absent Payments buttons for OI/EU (FS) teachout cohorts, the Help & Contact page rendering blank for KS teachout users, and exam access blocked for users with certain bookings or student statuses. Affected systems were MyCampus/MyCampus 2.0, the MyCampus dashboard, Payments, and the student office booking system; incidents returned no explicit error codes.

Solution

Specialist teams identified the affected accounts as belonging to teachout cohorts or to study programs that were not included in the MyCampus 2.0 rollout and confirmed this behaviour was intentional rather than a platform fault. Migration to MyCampus 2.0 was performed per study program (not per individual user), so students whose programs remained on the classic platform — including users with active bookings such as Mitarbeiterkurse and Upskilling — continued to see MyCampus classic; this explained why some users could not access exams (access depended on student status tied to their program/bookings). The Payments feature had not been rolled out to OI/EU teachout cohorts (FS business unit), so Payments controls were absent for those students; the Payments rollout for these cohorts had been deprioritized following the Minerva and OI/EU teachouts. A KS-wide issue that caused the MyCampus dashboard 'Help & Contact' page to render blank for remaining teachout users was diagnosed by the specialist team and fixed as part of the MyCampus 2.0 migration work. Affected students were informed of their program-specific migration status and the reasons for missing functionality; no configuration changes were applied to migrate or enable MyCampus 2.0 or Payments for teachout cohorts as part of these incident resolutions.

87. Instructor course missing in MyCampus due to incorrect external-address / account mapping
85% confidence
Problem Pattern

Instructors report missing or incorrect course tiles on the MyCampus dashboard after successful login. Expected semester courses can be absent (tiles missing or shown as inactive) while unrelated or wrong course instances appear; no error codes are shown. Affected areas include MyCampus account-to-external-address mapping, course booking/enrollment records, and the nightly synchronization between systems; support staff without booking privileges cannot view or change bookings.

Solution

Course visibility issues were resolved by two distinct fixes depending on root cause. In cases where an instructor's MyCampus account mapping was incorrect, visibility was restored by updating the user's external-address (account‑mapping) while leaving the existing password unchanged; the user continued to authenticate with their username. In other incidents the root cause was the course record itself (for example, semester/Q4 courses flagged as inactive or bookings assigned to the wrong course instance); those cases were investigated and corrected by the course‑management/booking specialist (fachteam), after which changes propagated via the overnight synchronization. Confusion between similarly named course instances (programme/language variants) was a frequent contributing factor. Support teams without course‑booking privileges could not see or alter enrollments, so corrections to bookings/enrollment status required action from the course management/booking team or specialist.

88. Student attendance web app inaccessible due to browser state and narrow time-range selection
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

MyCampus attendance (Anwesenheitserfassung) pages failed to open or operate in the browser, producing rendering errors such as 'translation problem' or 'page not found', missing lecture-planning or virtual-room links, or a navigation/redirect loop where following links returned the user to the same attendance screen. Failures were observed in web browsers (notably Firefox) and were sometimes correlated with selecting a very narrow session time range (for example a single-hour slice). In other incidents the attendance action returned a backend connection error ('Allgemeiner Fehler bei der Verbindung zu CARE'), preventing attendance recording. Affected systems included the MyCampus attendance module and the CARE service.

Solution

Access and functionality were restored by a combination of client-side remedies and service-side fixes depending on the symptom. For rendering and display failures (including 'translation problem', 'page not found', and missing lecture-planning or virtual-room links), support cleared browser cookies and cache, restarted or tested an alternative browser, and opened the attendance tool with the full session time-range rather than a single-hour slice; after these actions the attendance form and lecture-planning pages rendered correctly and users could record attendance. For navigation/redirect loops where links on the attendance screen returned users to the same page, the specialist team applied a service-side fix and users then cleared browser cache/cookies; after the service fix and cache refresh the navigation loop no longer occurred. For isolated backend connection failures that returned 'Allgemeiner Fehler bei der Verbindung zu CARE', users retried the attendance action and the operation completed successfully, indicating a transient connection error to the CARE service.

89. Automatic redirection from MyCampus 2.0 to legacy MyCampus Classic
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users on mycampus.iu.org were unexpectedly redirected to the legacy mycampus.iubh.de site (MyCampus Classic) after entering the URL or logging in. The redirect persisted across multiple browsers and devices, survived cache/cookie clearing and manual URL entry, and sometimes occurred only when opening specific course pages. Affected accounts were enrolled in or exposed to Course-UI / pilot/opt-in settings.

Solution

The cause was traced to legacy pilot/opt-in state and backend redirect/session mappings created during Course-UI pilot migrations. Support removed the legacy opt-in/pilot flag from affected accounts and cleared the server-side redirect/session entries for those users; when a course-level pilot assignment was responsible, disabling that course-level pilot mapping prevented the redirect. After those backend flags and mappings were cleared the affected users remained on mycampus.iu.org and no longer landed on the Classic site.

90. Missing student access to uploaded course materials caused by CARE→MyCampus section/campus mapping errors
71% confidence
Problem Pattern

Enrolled students were unable to view or access course-specific materials or interfaces (documents, videos, additional‑learning‑materials/order forms) in the myCampus web portal while instructors could; affected pages sometimes rendered as a completely blank page with no error. Symptoms occurred across myCampus 'My courses' and related modules and were sometimes limited to a particular study‑format cohort. The failures commonly corresponded to authoritative mapping/synchronization mismatches between CARE or mystudium and myCampus (course‑instance IDs, Standort/section assignments, or student‑to‑section enrollments) or to missing/incomplete module linkage/integration in myCampus after course updates.

Solution

Investigations identified two recurring causes for students not seeing course materials or course interfaces in myCampus. First, incorrect authoritative mappings in CARE (wrong course‑instance identifiers, Standort/section assignments, or student‑to‑section enrolments) prevented myCampus from exposing documents/videos and tutor/instructor visibility; the CARE UI could appear correct while underlying attributes were wrong. These incidents produced no standard error codes and sometimes affected only specific study‑format cohorts. In each case the issue was resolved after the upstream CARE or mystudium attributes were corrected and a forced synchronization to myCampus was performed; simple resynchronisations without first fixing upstream mappings did not restore visibility. Support frequently routed requests to campus course‑management teams (kursmanagement-[standort]@iu.org or kursmanagement‑fernstudium@iu.org) because fixes were made in CARE/mystudium. Second, some incidents were caused by missing or improperly linked module components within myCampus after a course update (for example a module's additional‑learning‑materials/order interface not integrated), which produced blank pages or absent order forms for students. Those cases required changes in myCampus (handled by the Fachteam/product team) to restore the module linkage; after the portal integration was fixed the order interface and other course components became visible. In all observed incidents, no consistent platform error code was available to indicate the root cause.

91. Intermittent Lehrverwaltung / Kursverwaltung UI rendering differences tied to browser cache or profile
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

Lehrverwaltung (course management), Kursverwaltung and timetable modules intermittently displayed an alternate, non-interactive layout (list view instead of calendar, non-functional links, changed borders) in the web UI. The problem was browser-specific: some browsers or profiles showed the correct calendar view while others showed the broken layout; symptoms were intermittent across sessions and devices. No server errors were reported and the content data itself appeared correct when the layout rendered properly.

Solution

Support resolved reports by addressing a browser-side rendering/cache problem. Cases were fixed when users cleared browser cache and cookies or opened myCampus in a different browser profile (incognito) or a different browser entirely; in one case the user could access the correct timetable via Safari on an iPhone. The tickets noted a consistent visual indicator (a black border when the module rendered correctly) that helped confirm a client-side layout state rather than a backend fault.

92. Static (one-off) calendar export from myCampus does not update in Outlook
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Teaching calendars exported from myCampus into Outlook via iCal/ICS appeared only up to a fixed date and did not reflect subsequently added or changed events. Exports were delivered as one-off/static ICS files or subscriptions that did not propagate later changes to the Outlook view. Imported/subscribed ICS events were reported as non-editable in Outlook (unable to change titles, owners or add notes), affecting recurring-session edits.

Solution

Missing or changed events were recovered by re-exporting the calendar from myCampus and re-importing it into Outlook because the original export had been a static (one-off) ICS file. Support documented that myCampus provided iCal/ICS exports that were not editable in Outlook — events imported or subscribed from the ICS feed could not be edited (titles, owners or notes had to be changed in myCampus). There was no in-product workaround to make the imported events editable; periodic manual re-export/re-import was therefore used to synchronise later changes. Support also recommended contacting the Lecturer & Course Coordination (LCC) team for course-planning assistance or to request an alternative export/process if editable copies were required.

93. Course booking page showed 0 ECTS / no courses due to StudyProgress ownership and missing study-plan data
85% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students saw unavailable course booking in MyCampus 2.0 in two main ways: an empty booking page showing 0 ECTS and no modules, or a hidden booking button with the UI message 'Oops: Course and Module booking moved to a new site...' Some affected users instead encountered a CARE iframe authorization error reading 'the page cannot determine if the user should be able to do this.' Affected accounts typically recently changed study programmes and had StudyProgress ownership records (for example ownership by EPOS or mis-imported as 'only profile') that did not match the active programme; some booking imports additionally lacked PIM study-plan data. The issue sometimes produced no server-side error logs and could only be reproduced when impersonating the affected student.

Solution

Investigations identified two root causes that produced the same visible booking failures. First, some student accounts retained StudyProgress ownership records that did not match their active programme (for example accounts owned by EPOS or imported into EPOS as an 'only profile' despite not being FS students). That mismatch triggered CARE's booking-avoidance/authorization logic and led to either the booking button being hidden with the 'Oops: Course and Module booking moved to a new site...' message or the CARE iframe returning an authorization failure ('the page cannot determine if the user should be able to do this'). Second, certain booking imports were missing PIM study-plan records so the booking import could not populate modules and ECTS, producing an empty page showing 0 ECTS. The incidents were resolved by correcting StudyProgress ownership to match the students' active programme (removing incorrect EPOS ownership where present) and re-importing the missing study-plan data into PIM. After ownership and PIM study-plan data were corrected and the booking import re-ran, the import completed successfully and the course booking interface displayed correct ECTS and available modules (booking buttons became available). Diagnostics noted the booking-avoidance behavior did not always produce server-side error logs and that some failures only reproduced under impersonation; the hidden booking button with the specific 'Oops' message and the CARE iframe authorization error were reliable triage indicators.

94. Accessibility adjustments for Info‑Center course pages (alt text and content defaults)
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

Course pages in the myCampus Info‑Center required accessibility updates but authors could not change some elements because myCampus applied immutable defaults (for example, <img> alt attributes were not editable). Request included specific course URLs and a Silta accessibility checklist; no runtime errors were reported but existing UI/edit controls prevented the required content changes.

Solution

The request was escalated to the myCampus specialist team and ownership for the accessibility topic was assigned to the myCampus product lead (Tina Schattner). A coordination meeting was scheduled to review the two supplied course pages and the Silta "Kurzprüfung" checklist so the specialist team could identify which myCampus defaults or templates needed changing to allow editable alt texts and other checklist items.

95. Granting course-administration functions and Turnitin archive access with provisioning delay
92% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users of myCampus reported loss of course-administration UI controls and inability to access Turnitin/grade-entry. Symptoms included non-admin UI views, missing menu options (for example delete-course and remove-students), inability to open course pages or course structure, and explicit permission-denied errors referencing capabilities such as block/iubh_tutor_grades:viewgrades. Affected systems included the myCampus UI and the Turnitin integration; visibility of permission changes was sometimes delayed by provisioning/synchronisation. Some long-running cases presented without visible error messages and were later identified as administrative/authorization issues involving central examination records.

Solution

When users lacked expected course-administration controls and Turnitin archive or grade-entry access, support actions fell into two categories. For technical/permission gaps, support restored functionality by granting permanent myCampus admin permissions matched to an existing admin profile (configuration aligned to the account used by nuria-badia-comas), which reinstated course-deletion and remove-students rights and restored Turnitin archive view. Support observed that provisioning/synchronisation could delay visibility of newly granted admin controls and that changes often became visible the following day; in at least one transient case a user regained admin access after re-login without further changes. Separately, specialists diagnosed a capability-level software bug that blocked block/iubh_tutor_grades:viewgrades during early grade publication; that required developer changes and was escalated to specialist/developer teams. In other incidents where no technical error was present, staff determined the cause was administrative/authorization (not a platform bug) and advised escalation to the central examinations office (ZPA) — the ZPA contact used in cases was zpa-dualesstudium@iu.org — and referred course-booking matters to the Local Course Coordinator.

96. Missing matriculation number (MNR) in CARE and myCampus due to EPOS booking mismatch
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

myCampus sometimes omitted a student's matriculation number (MNR) or did not show the student ID card, or produced an error when the student ID button was clicked. Symptoms included absent MNR in CARE and myCampus, the student ID option suppressed or erroring when clicked, and CARE booking metadata indicating temporary matriculation (student_grad = TEMPORARY_MATRICULATED_UNDER_RESERVE) or an expired standard study period (Regelstudienzeit). Affected systems were CARE (booking records/metadata) and myCampus (display/replication).

Solution

Investigations found multiple distinct failure modes that caused missing MNRs or suppression/errors for the student ID option in myCampus. 1) EPOS booking mismatch: some applicant bookings created by EPOS had been ignored and a new unlinked booking existed in CARE, so the CARE record lacked a validated EPOS-format matriculation number (MNR). Support manually inserted the validated EPOS-format MNR into the student's CARE record; after the CARE→myCampus replication run (observed after ~24 hours) the MNR appeared in myCampus. 2) Temporary matriculation metadata: CARE booking metadata for pathway (Vorprogramme) records — commonly returning student_grad = TEMPORARY_MATRICULATED_UNDER_RESERVE or statuses such as 'Vorprogramme und Dokumente fehlen' — had been treated as not regularly matriculated, causing the student ID option to be suppressed by myCampus display/eligibility rules. Affected records and their characteristics were recorded for follow-up remediation of booking statuses and the display/eligibility logic. 3) Expired study period: an additional mode was identified where the student's booking study period (Regelstudienzeit) had expired; this caused myCampus to suppress the student ID or to show an error when the student ID button was clicked. That finding was recorded and the case was escalated to student-services/booking remediation for status correction. In all cases, updates to CARE metadata were observed to replicate to myCampus within approximately 24 hours.

97. MyStudium community documents inaccessible because campus/location not assigned
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students reported missing community documents (student ID/immatriculation/enrollment certificates) or inability to select/download documents in MyCampus/MyStudium/LearnApp despite successful login. The platforms only loaded documents whose community/document location matched the student's current booking/cohort location; when a student's cohort/booking location differed from the document/community location (for example cohort set to DS‑Berlin while the document/community was assigned elsewhere), the documents were not displayed. Affected systems included MyCampus/MyStudium, LearnApp and backend cohort→location mappings.

Solution

The root cause was a mismatch between the student's booking/cohort location and the location assigned to the community/document. Resolution actions included updating community/document configuration to assign the correct campus/location (for example assigning the Ulm location) and correcting cohort→location mappings in the backend where they were inconsistent. In cases requiring vendor support, Simovative diagnosed and corrected community/document location assignments. After the location assignments and mapping corrections were applied, the previously missing student ID/immatriculation/enrollment documents and the document selection/download functionality became visible again in MyCampus, MyStudium and LearnApp. Affected integrations included CampusWEB, CARE and the document-generation flows.

98. Removal of obsolete/retired content links from Application Management pages
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Obsolete or retired links or selectable options remained visible in MyCampus Application Management (including MSE and MyCampus 2.0 Antragsverwaltung), allowing users to view or request resources that were no longer provided. Reported symptoms included user confusion and complaints, increased invalid application attempts, and additional administrative workload; no runtime errors were reported.

Solution

Support removed obsolete or retired application content from the MyCampus Application Management UI so the interface no longer presented items that were no longer valid. Removals included an outdated PDF link (CampusChangetoBadHonnefInformation.pdf) from the MSE Application Management header, the deprecated "Pflegeberater" certificate option from MyCampus 2.0 Antragsverwaltung (removal confirmed 2024-09-24), and a now-unneeded "Deregistration form" link in the MSE Application Management area (deleted by support after coordination with the MyCampus team and CARE; requester verified). No runtime errors were involved; the removals prevented further invalid application attempts and reduced related user confusion and administrative workload.

99. Onboarding display differences and missing third‑party app access (myCampus 2.0 + Deskbird)
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users onboarding to MyCampus 2.0 reported UI and onboarding-state problems: the interface appeared different from older screenshots and some users could not see pre-configured courses. Some users experienced Deskbird sign-in failures when accessing the office-space app. Other reports described the MyCampus onboarding checklist remaining at 0% despite user activity. Affected systems were MyCampus 2.0 and Deskbird; no explicit error codes were reported.

Solution

Support provisioned the Deskbird application to affected users (account/app assignment) and confirmed that Deskbird sign-in failures were resolved after provisioning. For visual differences and missing pre-configured courses, support explained the layout reflected the new myCampus 2.0 UI and confirmed users' access; no system fault was found for the UI change itself. For onboarding checklists that remained at 0%, the ticket was escalated to the product team (Product Fruits) and investigators reviewed user actions; no reproducible technical bug in MyCampus was found. The product team determined the checklist entries had not registered because items were likely not fully completed/clicked by the user and that no server-side change was required. Users were informed of the required completion behavior and the case was closed once the user acknowledged the result.

100. Incorrect display name in myCampus user profile
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

A user reported that their display name in the myCampus profile was incorrect and did not reflect their proper personal name. The issue was limited to the MyCampus user profile display.

Solution

The user's display name was updated in the MyCampus system to the correct value (Anuja Hariharan). Support notified the user to verify the change and confirmed the update internally before closing the ticket.

101. Course/tutor role assignment requests belong to Course Management (non‑technical)
91% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users reported inability to access MyCampus course materials or missing teaching/tutor assignments despite active accounts. Symptoms included 'unable to self‑enroll' when following course or exam‑guide links, an empty 'My teaching' area for instructors, missing tutor role in the FS view, or missing grade‑publication tiles on the MyCampus dashboard; no system error codes were present. Affected systems included MyCampus course enrollment and dashboard, the FS view, and linked services such as Moodle, CARE and identity‑sync displays (e.g., Microsoft Teams), where presence in those services did not imply an official course booking.

Solution

Support determined these incidents were caused by missing course bookings or official Tutor role assignments that were managed by Course Management / LCC and recorded in CARE. Support verified account synchronization and sign‑in (including Microsoft Teams linkage) and confirmed no account‑level or system errors; the visible symptoms (empty 'My teaching' lists, inability to access course materials or exam guides, 'unable to self‑enroll' messages, missing tutor roles in the FS view, and absent grade‑publication/dashboard tiles) corresponded to courses or roles not being booked. Support escalated to the specialist team or re‑triggered/followed up enrollment and role requests with Course Management/LCC; Course Management then enrolled users in CARE and assigned the official Tutor role, after which MyCampus listings and dashboard tiles populated. Tickets were retained/closed as informational after recording the escalation and advising users to request bookings/role assignments via the Course Management/LCC service portal.

102. Student document uploads failed until specialist restored upload service
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users were unable to upload files (documents, images, videos, recordings) to MyCampus, course dashboards, LearnApp or LMS. Symptoms included in‑browser upload UIs failing to load or showing an indefinite spinner, server-side uploads returning errors or no response, explicit form-validation errors such as “all fields must be filled”, uploads stalling at a consistent size (for example ~15 MB), or uploaded items appearing briefly then being removed. Failures affected multiple browsers and devices and involved components such as the Classic SSD upload service, video gallery/AI media service, backend synchronization, and LearnApp/Moodle gateway nodes.

Solution

Support and specialist teams investigated multiple root causes and applied component-specific remedies. DevOps-related changes to the Classic SSD upload service were reverted or corrected, which restored standard web upload functionality. Restoring a backend synchronization service recovered upload capability on course dashboards and MyCampus. Several in‑browser upload UIs that would not load were traced to blocked browser media permissions (camera/microphone/image+audio); granting the required permissions allowed those UIs to function. Video gallery and recording upload incidents were handled variably: some cases were escalated to AI Media Service Support, some workflow/formatting or persistent-stall incidents (including a recurring ~15 MB stall) were forwarded to the teaching‑formats team, and at least one media-recording/form-validation case (form reported “all fields must be filled” despite completed fields) was forwarded to Media Production with no portal-side technical remediation recorded. A reproducible case where uploaded folder/files briefly appeared and were immediately removed was observed during reproduction and required specialist backend/course-folder retention follow-up; no immediate portal-side fix was documented. Several reports traced to client or server cache/cookie problems or to specific gateway/web-node issues (for example DLBPGWPE01_E) and required additional specialist follow-up outside the standard portal workflow. Administrative or examination-related upload matters were forwarded to the central examination office. Multiple tickets were escalated or redirected to specialist teams and, in some cases, users were advised to open or recreate cases in the responsible specialist portals.

103. Assigned course not visible in myCampus due to missing enrollment data in CARE
92% confidence
Problem Pattern

Assigned courses, responsibilities or program specializations were missing or not visible in myCampus while content or grades existed elsewhere. Symptoms included absent course links, modules greyed out, dashboards showing only Dashboard and Calendar, specializations missing from the grade overview, and users being redirected to IU‑Portal/IU‑Login. In some cases a course appeared in the course bundle or Care Community iframe but had not been propagated to the CARE backend (for example not shown under the Care Backoffice “Vorlesung” view), students were not listed as participants in course management, the gradebook entry was absent, or the enroll/unenroll button was missing (sometimes only in production while Stage showed the button). Affected systems included myCampus, CARE, Care Community/Better Care feeds, course‑management systems and gradebook; triggers were missing, incorrect or inconsistent enrollment/booking/membership records, retired or restarted course codes, unselected specializations, role misassignments or identity mismatches.

Solution

Investigations first validated local myCampus UI permissions, profile records and sync logs and confirmed when sign‑in problems were due to unusable passwords; those accounts were restored after a MyCampus password reset via the user’s IU‑Mail. When users could sign in but items remained missing, the root causes were upstream: missing, incorrect or inconsistent enrollment/booking/membership records in CARE or upstream course‑management feeds. Symptoms included courses showing only in course bundles or in external apps while lacking backend bookings, students not listed as participants in course management, missing gradebook entries, or the enroll/unenroll button absent in Care Community (production) while present in Stage. For example, the BAHP Anerkennungspraktikum (DLBHPPPHP) was visible in the bundle/UI but had no backend booking — it did not appear under the Care Backoffice “Vorlesung” view, affected students were not participants in course management, and the enroll button was missing in Care Community until backend records and feeds were corrected. Affected cases were escalated to the specialist/course‑management team, who corrected source‑of‑truth records in CARE or the course‑management system (examples: selecting and saving program specializations on bookings, removing enrollments on retired codes and enrolling into restarted courses, cleaning up improper manual entries or role assignments, and correcting identity data). Relevant repositories and feeds (for example Better Care / CARE / course‑management feeds) were reprocessed; after the upstream records were fixed and feeds reprocessed, myCampus and Care Community retrieved the bookings/responsibilities and course or specialization visibility, enroll buttons and gradebook entries were restored. It was noted that some external applications continued to show courses while myCampus did not because they relied on different data feeds or environments (Stage vs Production).

104. Stale/inactive courses remaining visible on user dashboard
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users saw courses from previous years still listed as active on their myCampus dashboard despite those modules being inactive elsewhere; the courses appeared as if the user were a participant or instructor and did not auto-transition to hidden/inactive. No error codes were shown — symptom was incorrect old-course visibility in the account UI.

Solution

A specialist located the specific course records attached to the user account and changed their visibility status to hidden/inactive for that user. After the visibility flags were updated the courses disappeared from the user's dashboard and the report was closed as resolved.

105. Missing Care/role permissions blocking unit visibility and Info‑Center/student impersonation
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users reported they could not see specific DS‑Units, the course catalog (Vorlesungsverzeichnis), or student‑specific News in myCampus and could not self‑enrol or act as a student in the Info‑Center. Symptoms included missing unit tiles, absent enrol/select options, Study‑Guide accounts failing to 'sign in as' students, and support 'log in as' impersonation sometimes rendering MyCampus Classic while MyCampus 2 micro‑frontends (notably Payments/My Finances) did not load. Some records showed no course catalog or unit content because the wrong unit was associated. Attempting to contact the content team via a Jira link sometimes landed on the Jira home page instead of the target request page when the reporter lacked Jira create permissions.

Solution

Specialists identified two main root causes and added clarifications about platform limitations. For missing DS‑Unit tiles, absent enrolment/select options and Study‑Guide impersonation failures, teams confirmed the affected accounts lacked required Care/role permissions (examples: Dozent, DS‑Dozenten, Dozent‑DS, Dozent‑FS). Granting the appropriate Care/role permissions and restoring Study‑Guide impersonation/self‑enrol rights resolved those cases after the platform backend synchronization window elapsed and the DS‑Unit tiles and enrolment options appeared. When course catalog or unit content was missing because the wrong record was associated, support changed the unit assigned to the affected record and the Vorlesungsverzeichnis became visible after synchronization. When support 'log in as' impersonation showed MyCampus Classic and did not load MyCampus 2 micro‑frontends (hiding Payments / My Finances), cases were escalated to the myCampus team; where viewing finance pages as a student was required, teams granted the EPOS impersonation role in production (with the known audit‑log consequence that actions appear as the impersonated student). Support clarified that myCampus 2 did not provide a full or reliably equivalent student‑impersonation view compared with myCampus Classic; as a result, teams advised using dedicated student test accounts or restored Study‑Guide impersonation accounts to obtain a true student perspective when required. Separately, when a Jira link to contact the myCampus Content Team landed on the Jira start/home page, support confirmed this behavior was caused by insufficient Jira create permissions for the target project rather than by myCampus permissions and informed the reporter that Jira project permissions were required to create the request. All permission and unit‑assignment changes required backend synchronization time to propagate before the UI reflected the fixes.

106. Course participant lists and inactive course display caused by delayed synchronization and stale VLR names
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users experienced delayed or missing course participant lists and course pages in myCampus caused by failed or delayed synchronization from CARE. VLR labels/identifiers in myCampus were sometimes stale or incorrect (wrong prefix) after renames in CARE, and automatic VLR-renaming occasionally failed. Propagation from planning groups into VLRs and scheduled appointments sometimes omitted students, and an IU‑specific course‑settings synchronization path was reported to not update VLR names or enrolments. Affected systems included myCampus, CARE, the VLR registry, course management/booking (KM), Simovative, LCC, and integrated services such as Turnitin.

Solution

Delayed or missing participant lists were frequently traced to downstream CARE→myCampus synchronization latency: enrollee lists typically populated after the CARE→myCampus sync ran (often triggered by an initial student login). Incorrect VLR identifiers were corrected by editing VLR registry entries to replace erroneous "DO" prefixes with the correct "BOM" prefix so CARE and myCampus displayed matching identifiers. Investigation found the automatic VLR‑renaming job had intermittent failures; reproduction was complicated by manual edits to some courses and by an AWS migration/update freeze that delayed earlier remediation. Vendor Simovative diagnosed the intermittent renaming behaviour and deployed a fix for the automatic VLR‑renaming job. Separately, adding a planning group (Planungsgruppe) to a Vorlesungsreihe sometimes did not propagate students into the VLR or its scheduled appointments even though the planning group appeared in the appointment schedule; that planning‑group propagation issue was triaged with CARE and Simovative but had no definitive root cause or single remediation recorded. Some incidents presented as a permissions/access problem where users could only access the Dashboard and Calendar and could not open course pages or participant lists; those cases were investigated with LCC and the service portal but no definitive technical fix was recorded and access was sometimes restored without recorded error messages. A reported IU‑specific course‑settings synchronization path failed to propagate VLR renames and enrolments in at least one case (a VLR renamed in CARE remained unchanged in myCampus for several days and an enrolled student did not appear after running the IU‑specific sync), which impacted downstream integrations such as Turnitin visibility for submission windows; this behavior was escalated but had no separate documented remediation beyond the above fixes and manual registry corrections.

107. Upload button and group-selection UI absent when course groups were missing in myCampus
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Course participant views and student portal pages sometimes did not display the Upload button and/or the group-selection control. Affected course records sometimes contained no course-group entries or group IDs in myCampus; in other occurrences the button existed server-side but failed to render in the browser due to front-end/CSS or responsive/mobile issues. Symptoms occurred on desktop and mobile views and could coincide with empty galleries or inability to assign participants to groups.

Solution

When missing controls were caused by absent course-group records in myCampus, the Fachabteilung created the required course groups; once the groups were present the group-selection control and Upload button reappeared for affected users. When the missing Upload button occurred in the video-gallery/ILS upload context and the issue could not be reproduced from the user profile (for example when a gallery was empty), incidents were escalated to the specialist/fachteam for the video gallery/ILS service to investigate permissions and service-side causes. When the Upload button was missing because the UI did not render it (front-end/CSS or responsive/mobile rendering), tickets were escalated to the frontend team; CSS adjustments and responsive/mobile fixes were implemented and the Upload button was restored in desktop and mobile views.

108. Application Management 'Json Response' error caused by missing Care Community iFrame / site affiliation (multibookers)
81% confidence
Problem Pattern

After authentication to myCampus, Care Community UI elements (Care iFrame or specific CARE pages) sometimes failed to load and returned jsonResponse errors such as "Session-Verbindung zu CARE nicht möglich -> jsonResponse: {"success":false}". Community-dependent features (new Application Management UI, Study Organization/exam booking, timetables, and address-change/profile flows) were unavailable or missing required fields (for example file upload). Failures were browser-independent and affected accounts across roles and program families (students, external lecturers, multibookers, Pathway/SK).

Solution

Investigations identified three distinct, reproducible causes behind CARE UI/page absences and jsonResponse errors. 1) Missing or incorrect site/community affiliations (including a missing default Standort in a user profile) caused the Care Community iFrame or CARE pages to be omitted, which produced session/jsonResponse failures and made community-dependent features (Application Management UI, exam/study-organization flows, timetables) unavailable; restoring the user’s missing site affiliation(s) or correcting the profile’s default location (example: selecting the DS community or restoring the “Upskilling” site) re-enabled the iFrame and restored those features. 2) Application forms were missing fields (notably file upload) when the application’s configured locations (Standorte) were not selected for that application; selecting the appropriate locations restored the suppressed fields and allowed submissions. 3) The address-change/profile flow failure was caused by a broken/wrong myCampus Classic link (ac5address.php) that resulted in the CARE address-change page being absent; fixing the link and confirming the CARE page presence restored address add/edit/delete functionality. A reproducible iFrame/session-failure instance was retained on staging for further analysis, and CARE confirmed missing pages where applicable during investigations.

109. Granting or cloning MyCampus permissions and roles between users
91% confidence
Problem Pattern

Staff reported their myCampus accounts lacked administrative controls or views present for a named colleague — for example missing report buttons, User List access, the "Anmelden als"/"Login as" impersonation function, student-search capability, tutor/group edit controls, or AC5 synchronization privileges. Symptoms were the absence of expected buttons, lists, search or edit controls without explicit error messages. Affected areas were myCampus administrative views, course-management functions, and integrations; students were not impacted.

Solution

Platform administrators verified requesters' identities and compared the affected myCampus accounts to a named reference user, then cloned or reassigned matching roles and permissions when appropriate. Typical changes included granting approver and permission settings, assigning or restoring keyuser roles, enabling extended User List access (including the "Anmelden als"/Login‑as impersonation function), enabling course‑management rights (tutor status and group editing), and elevating permissions required for integrated processes such as AC5 synchronization. In some cases specific functions — for example the ability to search for students — were not restored by initial role changes and required escalation to the MyCampus team, who assigned the additional permissions; requesters were informed when escalation occurred. Changes were applied to single or multiple accounts as required; administrators observed that permission changes affecting integrations or caches could take until the next day to propagate and become visible in myCampus, and in at least one case a user was asked to perform a password reset to activate newly granted access. For organizational or designation requests to become a myCampus Key User (where no Key User existed for a location), requesters were directed to create a ticket in the Service on Campus portal because the Service on Campus team handled those assignments. Administrators asked requesters to confirm restored views or abilities after changes were applied.

110. Course participant lists and Excel export empty until participants perform initial myCampus login
85% confidence
Problem Pattern

Course participant lists in MyCampus appeared empty and Excel export returned 'No data available' even though registrations existed. The participant list and export contained no entries despite enrollments in the LMS.

Solution

Specialist investigation confirmed that MyCampus populated the course participant listing only after each participant had performed an initial myCampus login. No code or configuration change was applied; the behaviour was documented and recorded as a product/feature consideration for future development.

111. Duplicate/multiple email addresses and profile-merge / AC5-sync issues causing login, password-reset and role assignment failures
70% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users with multiple email addresses or merged/incorrectly linked profiles experienced failed sign-in or missing password-reset emails, wrong course assignments after a profile merge, and missing role flags (e.g., Tutor). Symptoms included never-logged-in accounts, password-reset emails not delivered because the email existed twice, and AC5 synchronization not setting expected roles.

Solution

Where incorrect profile linkage was present, course-management and IT corrected the association between the external/legacy profile and the myCampus login which restored the correct course assignments (user-confirmed). Cases with duplicate email identities required profile cleanup and consolidation; an Okta password reset was applied as a prerequisite to completing the myCampus password-reset flow in one reported case. AC5-related missing role flags (Tutor) were resolved by cleaning up duplicate profiles and re-running or coordinating the AC5 synchronization so the Tutor flag was applied to the correct, consolidated profile.

112. Instructor access blocked by inactive course in myCampus/Moodle
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

An instructor could not upload course materials or view participant lists in a specific myCampus/Moodle course: the upload area either displayed “You must join a group first to upload files” or the upload control was missing. The same course remained visible to students, but appeared inactive for the instructor. In some incidents the instructor account was duplicated in CARE and no course was assigned to the instructor, causing the module to remain inactive in myCampus.

Solution

Support verified the instructor account and the affected systems (myCampus/Moodle and CARE) and determined two classes of root causes. In some cases the course itself was inactive/locked for the instructor and the issue was resolved when course management (the LCC or equivalent course-owner team) activated/unlocked the course in myCampus/Moodle; after activation the instructor regained participant visibility and upload functionality and confirmed the problem was resolved. In other cases support found duplicate instructor entries or a missing course assignment in CARE; course management deduplicated the instructor account and/or assigned the correct course in CARE (for example the DSBBWLPW01 assignment), after which myCampus received the updated assignment, the module became active and upload functions were restored. When support lacked course-activation or CARE-edit rights, central support requests were declined and requesters were referred to the LCC/course-owner team to perform the activation or CARE account/course fixes.

113. Transient missing password-reset email for new faculty — retry restored access
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

A newly onboarded faculty member could not access MyCampus because the 'forgot password' workflow initially did not result in a password-reset email being received in the IU mailbox, preventing first-time login on their start date. Systems involved: myCampus and IU email; the user reported no reset email delivery on the first attempt.

Solution

The user retried the 'forgot password' workflow and the subsequent attempt produced a password-reset email to the IU mailbox. The user successfully completed the login process and gained access to MyCampus; support confirmed resolution and closed the ticket.

114. Publishing privacy policy / document-upload formatting and wording inconsistencies on myCampus
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

Pre-login/login pages sometimes displayed the full privacy policy (including the full list of service providers) instead of the minimal 'LOGON' variant intended for the login screen. Requests to publish updated Datenschutzerklärung content frequently arrived as Word documents with formatting problems (duplicated headings, inconsistent paragraph indentation) and mixed product names (e.g., myIU vs myCampus). German and English versions occasionally differed in wording, and it was often unclear which language/version was authoritative or who was responsible for performing the upload.

Solution

Support forwarded privacy-policy publication requests and supplied documents to the responsible legal/content specialists and created developer work items for publishing. Support noted that incoming Word files often contained formatting inconsistencies and mixed product names; those files were handed to legal/content reviewers to align wording across German/English versions and to resolve product-name inconsistencies. Once the authoritative text was provided (in one case the LOGON privacy-policy document was received from Gizem Aksar), developers replaced the pre-login/login privacy-policy content with the approved LOGON (minimal) version that excluded the full list of service providers, published/deployed the updated content to MyCampus, and verified the pre-login page displayed the LOGON text. The upload/publishing work was performed by developers after legal/content sign-off.

115. Locked or disabled myCampus feature access (attendance/timetracking) requiring specialist enablement and propagation delay
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Instructors (including external/affiliated instructors) could authenticate to the myCampus portal but were unable to use module-level features such as attendance/Anwesenheitserfassung, grade upload/Noteneingabe, lecture/reading plans, time-tracking and related integrated apps. Symptoms included missing menu options, generic or unspecified error messages when attempting grade uploads or attendance entry, access-denied screens, or module pages prompting for a separate login that sometimes rejected valid credentials. Problems were often intermittent and occasionally coincided with infrastructure migration or SSO/session propagation delays; client-side clearing of cookies/cache and browser changes did not reliably resolve the issue.

Solution

Affected users were restored to full module functionality after the myCampus specialist/administrative team re-enabled or unlocked module-level permissions (attendance tracking, grade entry/Noteneingabe, lecture plans, time-tracking and related integrated apps). Permission changes were typically applied through the formal approval workflow and support frequently provided or requested a reference user who already had the capability before applying changes. Authentication logs commonly showed successful portal logins while module-level access remained blocked; in several cases module pages prompted for a separate login and rejected correct passwords, an intermittent symptom that support associated with stale sessions or SSO/session propagation issues. Client-side troubleshooting (clearing cookies/cache, reinstalling or switching browsers) did not resolve the root cause because access was controlled by missing module permissions or by session tokens that required propagation. After the administrative enablement at the system level, changes required propagation across services; users sometimes continued to see errors or missing menu options immediately after the change and access commonly returned after propagation (often by the following morning). Support workflow notes: incidents were often escalated to the specialist team and agents frequently requested screenshots of the error; several tickets were closed without a technical resolution recorded when users did not provide the requested error evidence.

116. General error connecting to CARE when opening lecture plans, grade entry or attendance functions
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

MyCampus modules embedded via CARE iframes (lecture plans, grade entry, attendance) intermittently failed to load because the CARE session/connection could not be established. Reported symptoms included JSON errors such as jsonResponse: {"success":false}, blank or failed iframes, repeated login prompts or authentication/login loops, redirects to a MyCampus login page, delayed 'incorrect credentials' messages, and occasional temporary UI language switching; behaviour was sometimes browser-specific (frequently Edge). Failures were sometimes observed shortly after AC5 synchronisation events and could affect accounts that appeared valid in EPOS/CARE.

Solution

Incidents were resolved by restoring the MyCampus↔CARE integration or correcting account-level CARE state; support actions and observed resolutions included: • CARE service-side restores and backend fixes re-established the integration and cleared temporary faults that prevented the mirrored attendance and other CARE-delivered modules from loading; after CARE-side restores, lecture plans, grade entry and attendance modules loaded normally and login-loop/redirect behaviour ceased. • Adjusting CARE permissions or account mappings for individual users when missing/incorrect permissions prevented session connections restored access for affected accounts. • Some incidents cleared transiently without configuration changes (support notes recorded as “should work now”). • During triage support frequently referenced AC5/Simovative sync activity when failures were temporally correlated with an AC5 synchronisation; in those cases EPOS and CARE account records sometimes appeared normal (locations, community access, roles such as Tutor) while the iframe connection still failed, and vendor/sync logs were reviewed. • Short-term workarounds used during incidents included launching MyCampus via the orange “Hier gehts zu MyCampus” link or switching browsers (Edge/Chrome/IE), which occasionally produced an immediate successful login. • Support commonly attached screenshots of the JSON error, blank/failed iframe or login dialogs to aid diagnosis.

117. Tutor-Unit option not visible for users active only in a single unit (expected UI behavior)
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users reported the 'Tutor Unit wechseln' control missing in myCampus, preventing unit switching and access to scheduled appointments and student overviews. The symptom occurred when accounts were active in only a single unit, lacked FS-course enrollment, or had missing enrollment/permission attributes (including accounts provisioned via Okta/internalized IU email) that produced single-unit mapping. Some users also observed a CARE session-connection error in Vorlesungspläne and Lehrerverwaltung: "Fehler Session-Verbindung zu CARE nicht möglich -> jsonResponse: {"success":false}". Affected systems included myCampus UI, CARE, Okta, and the service portal.

Solution

Support confirmed the missing Tutor-Unit control was an intended myCampus UI behavior rather than a defect: the Tutor-Unit / unit-switch control was displayed only for instructors who were active in multiple units and/or who were enrolled in FS courses. Accounts that were active in a single unit or that lacked FS-course enrollment or the necessary enrollment/permission attributes did not see the option; some affected accounts originated from Okta/internalized IU email mappings and appeared as a single account in myCampus. No myCampus configuration change was required to 'restore' the control. Users who required the unit-switch option were directed to course management to arrange FS-course enrollment or to correct assignment/permission attributes. Separately, a CARE session-connection error reported in Vorlesungspläne and Lehrerverwaltung (jsonResponse: {"success":false}) was investigated by IT and the session-connection error no longer appeared. The service-portal/Okta access issue was recorded and investigated in the context of account mapping and attribute propagation; the visibility of the Tutor-Unit control correlated with account enrollment/attribute state rather than a client/browser bug.

118. Transient myCampus frontend layout/display anomalies
70% confidence
Problem Pattern

myCampus and the iu Learn App sometimes rendered an incorrect or incomplete user interface after login: expected tabs, links or content panes were missing or a 'course contents not available' message was shown. Users experienced intermittent routing between legacy (old) and myCampus 2.0 frontends, producing mixed UI states and non-functional features (notably attendance lists/recording, grade entry and Zoom integration). No explicit error codes were reported; symptoms varied by account, session, browser and platform and were transient. Session/cookie inconsistencies or a client-side race condition were suspected.

Solution

Support verified that course content and backend scripts remained present and identified the visible 'course contents not available' symptoms as transient frontend display artifacts rather than missing data. Investigation showed migration behavior could expose mixed legacy and myCampus 2.0 views for some accounts and sessions; intermittent routing between frontends and client-side session/cookie or race-condition behavior was suspected. Reported feature impacts included attendance lists/recording, grade entry, and Zoom integration, and reports varied by browser and platform (examples included Microsoft Edge on Windows). A targeted change/test was applied to the myCampus site; after the change affected users who reloaded the page, signed out and back in, or cleared browser cache/cookies observed the interface return to the expected layout and features become accessible. Tickets were closed after confirmation that underlying course data was intact and the failures were frontend display/migration artifacts.

119. Stundenplan 'mehr anzeigen' (show-more) UI bug showing only first event
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

The myCampus timetable (Stundenplan) 'mehr anzeigen' / 'show more' control displayed only the first event's details when a day contained multiple appointments, including optional/calendar events. The problem was reproduced in IMP Classic via impersonation; no error codes were produced and IMP-2.0 access could not be tested.

Solution

Engineering investigated and implemented a bug fix for the timetable 'show more' behaviour; the fix was deployed and the issue was marked as resolved on 2025-09-29.

120. Praxisberichte timesheet undercount (off-by-one-hour) in MyCampus
70% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students reported Praxisberichte (timesheet) entries undercounting daily working hours by exactly one hour (example: 13:00–20:00 with 30‑minute break calculated as 5h30m instead of 6h30m). Issue affected the MyCampus Praxisberichte module and appeared across multiple reports for the same user.

Solution

The report was escalated to the specialist team and support requested screenshots or a sample week from the student to reproduce the discrepancy. The student later confirmed the issue had resolved itself and no corrective configuration changes or further remediation steps were recorded in the ticket.

121. MyCampus 2.0 course module hang caused by a broken course script
91% confidence
Problem Pattern

MyCampus 2.0 course pages and interactive course content (modules, registration lists, exam results, online scripts/practice exercises) sometimes failed to render or stalled, showing continuous loading spinners, blank/white pages, partially rendered pages with invalid translation keys, or immediate client-side console errors. Some save operations returned brief blank pages then errors, and very large courses or courses with many groups were intermittently inaccessible. In interactive online-script components students reported highlight/marker misbehavior: highlights shifted or applied to incorrect locations (often after formulas/equations), text passages were duplicated or omitted, and entire sections or abstracts were missing. In other cases content opened but progress/completion was not recorded.

Solution

Investigations identified multiple distinct root causes for MyCampus 2.0 hangs, partial renders, interactive-content failures and script-highlighting defects. Resolutions were applied according to the root cause identified in each case. Key actions and outcomes included:

• Restored and republished corrupted or incorrectly published course-view scripts and script packages when modules entered continuous loading loops or produced blank/white pages.
• Repaired corrupted course “book” content and restored inaccessible practice exercises by replacing corrupted source files and republishing affected packages. Missing abstracts and vanished passages were restored from backups and republished where source files were corrupted.
• For client-side online-script highlighter defects (highlights shifting, duplicated or omitted passages, and highlights misapplied after formulas or inline markup), investigators reproduced reported behaviour from screenshots and screen recordings and classified two primary causes: corrupted/incorrectly published script packages that produced duplicated or missing DOM text nodes, and a client-side highlighter rendering bug that mis-calculated character offsets around inline math/formula markup and certain encoded characters. Resolutions included republishing corrected script packages, sanitising or normalising problematic inline markup/encoding to stabilise DOM/text mapping, and deploying a developer patch to the highlighter component that corrected offset calculations. Affected course instances were reprocessed or redeployed after fixes.
• Re-deployed affected course packages and Care-related services when runtime or deployment state problems in dependent services (care-fs / care-iframe) caused rendering failures.
• Corrected PIM/product-metadata records and re-synced product data when specific course variants were unreadable in 2.0.
• Resolved ownership/booking-replica inconsistencies using targeted queries against Care/booking replicas and the Ownership API.
• Fixed bad translation keys and platform redirect-handler state that produced partial page loads and invalid UI text.
• Escalated developer-managed course tool issues for very large/many-group courses to developers and central administration where a new tool version or patch was required.
• For reports where content opened but completion did not register, support confirmed content accessibility and recorded that completion/assignment configuration was managed by the course owner/administrator; remediation of those settings was handled by the responsible course team.
• When issues could not be reproduced, support collected screenshots, screen recordings, network captures and browser console logs and reproduced with properly booked test accounts to enable reliable diagnosis and developer escalation when necessary.

122. Automated re‑enrolment loops reverted manual course removals (Automation-for-Jira interaction)
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

A course entry could not be permanently removed from a user's myCampus course view; manual removals were reverted within days and the user was automatically re-enrolled. Activity logs referenced an Automation for Jira process and affected systems included myCampus and course management.

Solution

Support removed the course entry manually and then identified that an automated enrollment workflow was re-applying the membership. The persistent re-enrolment was stopped after the enrollment automation was adjusted/disabled in the orchestration layer so manual removals remained in place; course-management then monitored the account to confirm the removal persisted.

123. MyCampus 2.0 seminar/project course overviews failed to open for affected students
50% confidence
Problem Pattern

Clicking seminar or project course tiles in MyCampus 2.0 produced an error and prevented access to course overviews for a group of students across accounts and devices; the fault was isolated to seminar/project course types and not to the in-person function.

Solution

Investigation traced the failures to MyCampus 2.0 handling of seminar/project course overviews; a backend fix deployed to production corrected the course‑overview endpoint and rendering logic. After the production deploy the affected seminar and project courses opened normally and students regained access.

124. OAuth2/Auth0 returned incomplete userinfo (missing username/email) causing myCampus login failures
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Staff and external instructors/tutors experienced sign-in failures to MyCampus and integrated portals when the OAuth2/Auth0 userinfo endpoint returned responses missing username and institutional e‑mail. Symptoms included persistent login prompts, transient sign‑in dialogs during navigation, redirect/refresh loops, explicit errors such as "The returned user info contains no username and no e-mail address. The OAuth 2 Service may be misconfigured.", and occasional account‑locked messages after repeated attempts. Student logins were often unaffected because student e‑mail was read from a different token path, though some vendor integrations also failed for students. In some cases MyCampus 2.0 presented a login loop even after Auth0 reported successful authentication and client logs showed no errors.

Solution

Investigation identified a recent change that attempted to read student e‑mail from the Auth0 token and caused the OAuth2/Auth0 identity service to return incomplete userinfo (missing username and institutional e‑mail for staff and external tutors). Teams rolled back that change and corrected the Auth0/OAuth2 identity‑service configuration so the userinfo endpoint again returned username and institutional e‑mail for staff and tutors; authentication and portal/vendor integrations subsequently resumed normal operation and affected users confirmed restored access. Authentication and portal integration fixes were also applied where needed. Where external providers were implicated (for example Redmine via SSystems), support coordinated with the vendor and recorded vendor engagement and follow‑up until users regained access. Separate investigations used verification with the Auth0 contact and review of browser/network console logs; at least one MyCampus 2.0 login‑loop case was closed after Auth0 confirmed authentication succeeded and client logs showed no errors, indicating transient or environment‑specific behavior in some instances.

125. IU Learn mobile app showed 'Kurs‑Inhalte nicht verfügbar' while content existed
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

On IU Learn / MyCampus mobile apps, course content links (including interactive course scripts and in‑course quizzes) sometimes displayed 'Kurs‑Inhalte nicht verfügbar' or produced errors on phones/tablets while the same content remained accessible on desktop/web via the Lernen tab and table of contents. Separately, some iPad users on iOS 18 / 18.1.1 experienced immediate app freezes or crashes when tapping free‑text input fields inside quizzes, forcing full app restarts and causing partial loss of quiz progress. Affected systems included the mycampus native iOS app (fe.app.learn frontend v2.184.1 reported) and mobile‑linked views; occurrences could be persistent, intermittent, or not reproducible by specialists.

Solution

Support investigations identified two primary mobile‑side failure modes affecting access to quizzes and interactive course materials. First, a mobile UI / maintenance‑mode display flag was hiding in‑app content links; engineering adjusted the app/maintenance display state which restored visible links to interactive scripts and quizzes. Affected content remained reachable on desktop/web via the Lernen tab and table of contents and that web view was used as a workaround while the mobile flag was corrected. Second, multiple iPad users on iOS 18 / 18.1.1 running fe.app.learn v2.184.1 reported immediate freezes when tapping free‑text quiz fields; the app required a full restart and some quiz progress was lost. Those incidents were escalated to the native app / Fachteam, where developers noted suspected focus‑handling or a resource‑related process failure in the native bundle and tracked the problem for a native bundle/app update. Intermittent quiz rendering failures that could not be reproduced locally were also forwarded to engineering for deeper investigation and monitoring.

126. MyCampus 2.0 course‑booking view omitted modules present in Care/MyCampus 1.0 (EPOS integration mismatch)
51% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students experienced course-booking failures or missing/disabled booking UI in MyCampus 2.0. Symptoms included modules present upstream but absent from booking lists and incorrect available‑ECTS totals; prerequisite/exclusion checks that referenced a different module identity or an instance-suffixed code (e.g. DLBPSESWS vs DLBPSESWS-01); enrolment errors such as “Error (att)” when courses had no product offers; and transient booking-page banners or missing/non-clickable Booking buttons caused by ownership-resolution failures in the course-booking microfrontend. Affected systems included MyCampus 2.0 booking, the course-booking microfrontend, EPOS, AC5/curriculum data, the product-offer service, CARE, and upstream catalogue data.

Solution

Multiple distinct integration faults were identified and resolved. 1) Catalogue/filtering mismatch: EPOS catalogue mappings and visibility flags did not match the MyCampus 2.0 booking filters, which hid modules and produced incorrect ECTS totals. The catalogue mappings and visibility flags were aligned and the affected modules were re‑published/synchronised so they appeared in the booking interface and ECTS totals corrected. 2) Curriculum ↔ instance ID mismatches: prerequisite/exclusion checks were blocked because curriculum parent/module IDs did not match specific module-instance IDs (for example DLBPSESWS vs DLBPSESWS-01). Curriculum/prerequisite entries and module→instance identities in AC5/catalogue data were reconciled and the corrected curriculum was re‑published so prerequisite/exclusion logic behaved correctly. 3) Missing product-offer data: some courses showed “Error (att)” because the product-offer service had missing v1 offer data, leaving courses without offers in EPOS/CARE and preventing enrolment. The product-offer team restored the missing v1 offers and the offers were re‑published/synchronised to EPOS/CARE, after which enrolments proceeded normally. 4) Ownership-resolution / booking UI transient failures: the course-booking microfrontend experienced transient ownership-resolution failures that produced a banner stating ownership could not be determined and hid or disabled the Booking button (reproducible in MyCampus 2.0 impersonation while MyCampus Classic remained functional). The booking UI recovered once ownership resolution was restored and the microfrontend's ownership flow was stabilised. After these remediations and data synchronisations, affected modules were visible in the booking view, ECTS totals were correct, prerequisite/exclusion checks referenced the correct module instances, offers were present for enrolment, and the booking UI resumed showing and enabling the Booking button.

127. Legal/name‑change did not propagate to student ID printing system
45% confidence
Problem Pattern

A student's legal name change was present in upstream systems (CARE, EPOS and the authoritative MyCampus instance) but the physical or digital student ID showed the old surname. Affected components included MyCampus (authoritative and downstream instances), LDAP/middleware/AWS database replicas, and the student‑ID generation/printing service; users reported an incorrect last name on the card with no error codes. The core symptom was stale profile data in the ID/card service after upstream profile updates.

Solution

Support verified the authoritative master/stammdaten in the primary MyCampus instance and confirmed CARE and EPOS contained the updated surname. Investigation found the downstream student‑ID generation/printing consumer (the downstream MyCampus/Team Rocket service) had not consumed the updated profile; intermediate stores such as LDAP, middleware and AWS database replicas were inspected for stale copies. The student's profile was re‑exported/resynced to the downstream student‑ID system and the physical/digital ID was reprinted with the corrected last name. A follow‑up change was applied to the downstream consumer's synchronization trigger/handling so future profile updates would be retriggered or received more reliably. Troubleshooting also included checking birth‑name versus display‑name fields to rule out name‑type mismatches.

128. Missing course calendar entries due to locked course-calendar permission
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users reported that course sessions, room assignments and participant lists were not appearing in the MyCampus course calendar despite the courses existing; affected users saw an empty calendar view for the course with no error messages. Symptoms included missing lecture schedules, missing room numbers, and inability to access the participant list for affected courses. Affected systems included the MyCampus course calendar and upstream course booking/management systems (Course Management permissions or the LCC course booking system) that control course visibility and access.

Solution

Two causes were observed. In cases where Course Management had locked the user’s course-calendar permission, Course Management unlocked and enabled the instructor’s access to the MyCampus course calendar; after the course-calendar permission was enabled the lecture schedules and room information became visible. In other cases the course bookings and related visibility/participant access were controlled by the LCC course-booking system; support advised instructors to have the LCC enable course visibility, room assignments and participant lists in MyCampus.

129. Grade-entry (Noteneingabe) missing because external scheduling tool (Charly App) was not integrated with CARE
70% confidence
Problem Pattern

Instructors could not see exams in MyCampus Lehrverwaltung › Noteneingabe when those exams had been scheduled via the Charly App; the grade-entry view showed no assessment entries for student presentations scheduled through Charly. Affected systems: Charly App, CARE, MyCampus grade-entry (Noteneingabe).

Solution

Specialists investigated and confirmed that the Charly App was not integrated with CARE, so exam records created in Charly did not flow into CARE and therefore did not appear in MyCampus Noteneingabe. The team scheduled (and communicated) an integration of the Charly App with CARE so that Charly-created exam entries would be propagated into CARE and subsequently become visible in MyCampus Noteneingabe once the connection was completed.

130. Password resets blocked by missing reset-email delivery (support-triggered recovery)
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users were unable to sign in to myCampus/Care because the site rejected their passwords and the self-service "forgot password" reset emails were not delivered to users' inboxes (including when entering the full email address). In some cases reset-link delivery was held pending a ticket-approval workflow that required the user's supervisor to approve, preventing creation of a new password and locking access. Affected users sometimes remained able to authenticate to other services (for example Okta or Office), indicating the failure was limited to myCampus authentication or reset-email delivery.

Solution

Support staff resolved affected accounts by using administrative password-reset functions in the system (EPOS/Care or equivalent), manually verifying account usernames, and sending/triggering reset links to the user. In several cases users were advised they could sign in using their account username instead of their email address when email-based sign-in failed. Where reset-link delivery was blocked by a pending ticket-approval workflow, IT approved the pending approval (the approver needed to be the user's supervisor) which released the reset email and allowed sign-in. Successful logins were confirmed after the reset (in at least one instance via authentication/login logs).

131. Limited employee/staff dashboard due to missing roles or course‑management assignment
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users who should have staff/employee privileges saw a student or reduced UI in MyCampus/MyStudies: accounts displayed only the 'Student' role and staff-only UI elements (for example staff search fields such as “BA01 Bachelorarbeit”, user lists, impersonation and DS/staff attendance view) were absent. Some affected users also had courses missing from the staff interface. A subset of users reported an “invalid credentials” error on the deprecated “Login für Mitarbeiter” page while the standard myCampus login succeeded. Issues were frequently reported for new staff/lecturers and correlated with missing role or course‑management assignments and directory/profile synchronization delays.

Solution

Affected accounts were compared to working staff reference accounts and missing staff roles and permissions (role name: "Mitarbeiter" / staff) were restored in the permissions system (Care). Where staff-specific UI elements such as the BA01 (Bachelorarbeit) staff search field, user lists, impersonation or the DS/staff attendance view were absent, adding the missing staff role and permissions caused those features to reappear after directory/profile synchronization propagated the changes. Where courses did not appear in the staff UI, the course‑management team completed the required course assignments so the courses became visible in the staff interface. Users who saw an “invalid credentials” error on the deprecated “Login für Mitarbeiter” page were informed that the legacy page is obsolete and that the error reflected the deprecated login path rather than a normal account password failure; affected users logged in via the standard myCampus single sign‑on (Okta) and the standard login succeeded. Permission changes and fixes were applied (changes applied 2024-11-06) and affected users subsequently regained full employee/staff dashboard features.

132. Bulk‑Mail used private address due to stale AC5 profile data
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Instructor Bulk‑Mail defaulted to the user's private email address instead of their IU email and did not present the IU address as an option, causing inability to send from the institutional sender address.

Solution

An AC5 synchronization was executed to refresh the account/profile data. After the AC5‑Sync the IU email address became available (impersonation verified the correct IU address) and the instructor could use the institutional sender in Bulk‑Mail.

133. Course marked inactive prevented uploads and showed group-membership error
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Instructors could not upload files or media to MyCampus course pages or the MyCampus Video Gallery. Symptoms included the upload area showing "You must join a group first to upload files" and preventing uploads, or the "+ add media" button not opening the insertion/upload dialog. Failures occurred when the course instance was inactive/archived or when the user was operating in the wrong course instance/account. Affected systems included the MyCampus course dashboard and MyCampus Video Gallery.

Solution

Two distinct causes and resolutions were observed. In cases where a course instance was inactive, support reactivated the course (set it to active), which restored file‑upload functionality and removed the "You must join a group first to upload files" error. In cases where uploads were attempted against an archived or incorrect course instance or with the wrong account, selecting the current active course instance and signing in with the correct account restored the "+ add media" dialog and allowed uploads (example: an upload to archived instance LIBFTHDLMINTMAB01 failed until the instructor switched to the active instance LIBFEXDLMINTMAB01_E and used the LIBF account). Systems involved included MyCampus, the MyCampus Video Gallery, and source files from SharePoint; after either reactivation or using the correct active instance/account, instructors were able to upload materials and the errors no longer appeared.

134. Browser cache/cookie or browser-specific rendering blocking myCampus login and file uploads
85% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users experienced browser-specific client-side session or rendering failures in myCampus that prevented sign-in, access to course tools, or file uploads. Reported symptoms included persistent authentication failures (for example “account locked after multiple consecutive login attempts”), missing or replaced UI elements (for example a green placeholder box), upload UI hanging on a perpetual loading spinner when selecting groups, and nonfunctional course features such as grade entry or attendance recording. Failures were often isolated to a single browser session (commonly Chrome, but also observed in Firefox), produced no server-side error traces, and sometimes persisted across restarts or cleared only after client-state reset. Support reproduction attempts (including admin "sign in as") frequently failed because the problem was limited to the user's browser session.

Solution

Support determined the incidents were caused by corrupted or stale browser session state in the client (most commonly Chrome, but occasionally Firefox). Restoring normal myCampus authentication and feature behavior was accomplished by clearing the browser cache and cookies, using the browser’s private/incognito mode, or switching to a different browser (commonly Microsoft Edge or Firefox). In affected cases the behavior included missing controls or a green placeholder for uploads, upload UI stuck on a loading spinner, and nonfunctional course tools (grade entry, attendance); these UI failures and authentication errors cleared after the client session state was reset. Support attempts to reproduce the failures often failed when using admin "sign in as," consistent with the root cause being client-local session state; no server-side error traces were found. Affected users sometimes reported intermittent self-resolution or discovered local workarounds prior to support clearing the session state.

135. External TurnItIn integration broken by outdated/incorrect account mapping after email change
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

A myCampus TurnItIn course overview/link disappeared for a user after an institutional email change; the course appeared on turnitin.com when logging in with the old email but not with the new iu.org address. Password-reset emails for the new identifier did not arrive, indicating a mapping/mismatch between myCampus account identifiers and TurnItIn.

Solution

Investigation found the user record still referenced the legacy login identifier (a.zitouni). Support adjusted the internal myCampus account mapping/association to match the active institutional identifier and re-associated the TurnItIn integration. After the account mapping was corrected the TurnItIn course overview/link was re-enabled in myCampus and the user regained access via their current iu.org account.

136. Enrollment-certificate printing governed by 100‑day future-semester rule (perceived 3‑month blocking)
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

A user reported an enrollment certificate (Immatrikulationsbescheinigung) appearing printable despite an expected 3-month block; the symptom was perceived early availability of the certificate without explicit error messages. The report cited a specific student record and expected blocking behavior relative to the next semester start.

Solution

Support reviewed the generation query and date-calculation logic and confirmed the implemented blocking rule used a 100-day threshold: when the next semester start was 100 days or more in the future the certificate was blocked; otherwise printing was permitted. The example student’s next semester was 96 days away on the review date so certificate generation behaved as designed. Certificate generation was tested to verify the observed behavior matched the rule.

137. Erroneous LMS365 due reminder caused by missing/incorrect course‑completion record
70% confidence
Problem Pattern

A user received an automated due reminder email for a course despite having completed it earlier and lacking a completion confirmation/certificate; the notification originated from the LMS365 noreply address and the user reported the missing completion record.

Solution

Support determined that the issue lay in the LMS365 platform’s course-completion metadata, which the support team could not modify from their environment. Support confirmed they had no administrative access to correct the completion record and advised the user to contact the LMS administrators (people-projects@iu.org) to update the completion status and re-issue the confirmation. The ticket was closed after this guidance.

138. MyCampus hard 256 MB file-upload limit blocks large file distribution
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

MyCampus rejected uploads larger than 256 MB, causing file upload attempts to fail without clear or usable error messages. Instructors and students were unable to distribute large course files (for example, multi-hundred‑MB or gigabyte-sized datasets) through the platform.

Solution

The incidents were resolved by avoiding direct upload to MyCampus because the platform enforced a 256 MB per-file limit and upload attempts failed without usable error codes. Instructors compressed or split large content (commonly into ZIP archives) to keep individual files under the 256 MB threshold and then retried uploads; this frequently restored upload capability. When compression or splitting was insufficient or email attachments were impractical, the full files were delivered by alternative means — hosting on an external site (for example a personal homepage) or sending files directly to students by email or via a download link. Support also collected detailed descriptions of the instructor's use case when those options were unsuitable so the team could propose other delivery approaches. No server-side change to the MyCampus upload limit was made during these cases.

139. Copilot booking flag lost during Studiengangs- & Kohortenwechsel bulk program/cohort change
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

When students were moved by the bulk 'Studiengangs- & Kohortenwechsel' operation, newly created bookings did not retain the 'copilot' attribute. Affected systems included CARE (bookings/additional data), EPOS student enrolment and MyCampus experience/license handling. Symptoms were missing Copilot experience or license assignment for students after a program/cohort change; no explicit error messages were shown.

Solution

Investigators found that the booking 'additional data' containing the copilot flag was implemented as a CARE-owned custom datasource and was not included in the bulk Studiengangs- & Kohortenwechsel operation. The root cause was recorded and the missing-data transfer was raised as a feature-request/bug in the CARE backlog for inclusion in the bulk-operation logic; no immediate automatic transfer was performed until the CARE change is implemented.

An instructor's MyCampus dashboard showed only some course groups or omitted expected courses without error messages. The missing course(s) were user-specific — the course could appear when a different session was used or when support impersonated the user, but not in the affected user's session. The issue frequently occurred on private devices and presented as an inconsistent or incomplete course/group view.

Solution

Support confirmed the symptom (screenshot) and used impersonation to verify the issue was specific to the affected user session. The display was restored either by an account/session reset (which allowed the instructor to sign in and see all course groups) or by clearing the browser cache and cookies (after which the missing course appeared under active courses). The incidents were attributed to transient account/session state or stale browser cache/cookies on private-device environments rather than persistent data loss.

141. Transcript of records display/download disabled after bug causing incorrect overall grade
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students were unable to load or download Transcript of Records (TOR) from the myCampus document generator; the TOR functionality was unavailable or placed into maintenance. When TORs were produced via the internal Care interface, the calculated overall grade/GPA contained an incorrect digit after the comma (decimal precision/rounding error), causing mismatched aggregate grade values. No runtime errors or error codes were shown to end users; affected systems included myCampus, the document generator (dokgen), and Care.

Solution

Specialists reproduced the issue and identified a defect that caused the transcript overall grade calculation to display an incorrect digit after the decimal (a precision/rounding error) resulting in mismatched aggregate grade values. As an immediate safeguard, the transcript-of-records display and download functionality in myCampus (and the associated community) was placed into maintenance/disabled to prevent dissemination of incorrect grades. Internal staff were able to generate TORs via the Care print interface, but those TORs still exhibited the incorrect overall grade. The defect was logged, escalated to the specialist backlog, and scheduled for correction in a future software release; impacted students requiring urgent TORs (scholarships, applications, employment) were noted during triage. No runtime errors or error codes were exposed to end users.

142. IU Learning Hub module access blocked by browser privacy/cookie settings
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users reported missing the “IU Learning Hub” tab in the intranet header or being unable to open onboarding/training modules in the IU Learning Hub (LMS365/training dashboard). Symptoms included access-denied messages (for example, “You unfortunately do not have access” or “you are not permitted to access this course”), course videos/content not retrievable, and modules being marked complete when users clicked topics without viewing content. Incidents occurred both when browsers could not recognise session/permission state due to restrictive privacy or cookie/tracking settings and when intranet entitlements or LMS365 course permissions/enrollments were misconfigured, sometimes hiding the hub navigation link entirely.

Solution

Support diagnosed two classes of root cause. In client-side incidents, restrictive browser privacy settings (cookies, history, Do Not Track/tracking exceptions) prevented the hub from recognising session or permission state; switching to a supported browser or clearing cookies/history/tracking exceptions restored access without platform changes. In platform-side incidents, intranet entitlements/permissions or LMS365 course permission/enrollment misconfigurations caused the navigation tab to be hidden, triggered access-denied or content retrieval failures, or produced incorrect completion tracking (modules marked complete after sequential topic clicks). Those issues were resolved by adjusting the user’s intranet entitlements/permissions and by correcting LMS365 course permissions or enrollments (with escalation to the People & Projects team when required). Tickets were closed after either client-side troubleshooting restored session recognition or platform-side entitlement/permission fixes restored navigation visibility, content access, and correct completion tracking.

143. Course sprint/video missing from MyCampus video area — content owner contact required
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

A recorded sprint video for a course was not present in the expected MyCampus video location and could not be found via the course's video section. The symptom was a missing media file for students despite an expectation it had been uploaded.

Solution

Support determined the recording had not been uploaded to the course video area and advised the requester to contact the FS teaching-formats team (lehrformate@iu.org) to locate or retrieve the missing sprint video; no direct recovery was performed by support.

144. Intermittent grader/exam access failures from notification links, stale bookmarks or session state
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Grading users reported inability to open assigned exams from notification emails or the portal: the grader view showed "Access denied" or the portal spun indefinitely, and users often had to retry links multiple times or re-authenticate repeatedly. Symptoms were intermittent across browsers and sessions and occurred when following bookmarked or email-provided URLs to the exam/correction interface. Affected systems were the web exam/klausuren portal, the notification email links and the central portal login/session handling.

Solution

Access was restored after users opened the exams via the current official portal links and cleared stale browser session state. In reported cases the user removed outdated bookmarks or retried the corrected email link and cleared cookies, then re‑authenticated through the official my.iu.org entry point; after that the grader view showed the assigned exams and grading proceeded. No backend data changes were required in the resolved incidents.

145. Course Feed subscribe/unsubscribe operations failed due to booking-flow defect
85% confidence
Problem Pattern

Course Feed enroll/unenroll (subscribe/unsubscribe) actions in MyCampus failed immediately with an error and did not reach downstream Course Feed services. End users sometimes saw the message "Leider ist die Abmeldung fehlgeschlagen. Kontaktiere bitte den IT-Service." and operations failed even when accounts were not visibly subscribed; multiple users and courses across modules were affected. Investigations also observed intermittent automated processes removing users and some accounts showed duplicate or stale profile/email entries.

Solution

Investigations traced the failures to MyCampus booking logic for Course Feeds and identified a CareerPartner/CPC-related booking bug as the root cause. The CPC integration component was temporarily disabled as a mitigation while the issue was triaged. A code/logic change was then deployed to the Course Feeds booking flow in MyCampus; after that deployment subscribe and unsubscribe (enroll/unenroll) actions completed successfully. During the investigation inconsistent profile/email entries (duplicate or stale emails) were reviewed and staff observed signs of an automated "kick-out" process intermittently removing users; the deployed booking-flow fix resolved the user-facing failures.

146. Missing timetable tab in Manage studies caused by Multibooker account handling
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students reported the timetable/schedule tab was not visible under "Manage studies" and could not view their timetable dates. Multiple affected accounts shared a Multibooker/multi‑programme booking state and the timetable UI tab did not appear for those users.

Solution

The issue was identified as related to Multibooker account handling and a fix was implemented in the "Manage studies" functionality. The deployed change made the timetable tab visible again for affected Multibooker accounts and restored access to the schedule.

147. Tutor calendar/course-detail view empty due to incomplete user profile
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

A tutor with MyStudies access could not view detailed calendar information (room numbers, building locations) for courses; the calendar showed limited/obscured details without error messages. The problem affected calendar detail visibility tied to the tutor's user/profile attributes.

Solution

Support escalated the request to the specialist team, which completed the tutor's user profile fields. After the profile was completed by the specialist, the tutor regained full visibility of calendar details including room numbers and building locations.

148. Immatrikulationsbescheinigung printed literal 'ERROR' instead of certificate content
85% confidence
Problem Pattern

Enrollment certificate generation/printing in MyCampus failed or produced the literal text "Error" instead of expected content. Symptoms ranged from the whole document or specific fields (for example Full/Part-Time study-mode) showing the word "Error", to the certificate not being pullable/generated at all from the student portal. The issue was reported by students and staff and observed during certificate-of-enrolment generation.

Solution

Two root causes were observed and resolved. Where generated certificates contained the literal "Error" in the document or in specific fields, the cause was missing or invalid student-record data (for example an empty "desired study model"/study-mode field); correcting the affected student-record fields and regenerating the certificate produced the full, correct content. Where certificates could not be pulled or generated at all, incidents were escalated to the specialist team (Fachteam); the Fachteam fixed a service-side problem in the certificate-generation/printing service and restored the ability to generate and print enrollment certificates. Users confirmed printing succeeded after the Fachteam fix. Example affected accounts reported during these incidents included mnr 31911161, mnr 4190070 and IU14095298.

149. Competency selections in 'My Courses' not saved — LCC-owned competence query
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

User selected and rated multiple core-competency courses and clicked Save, but the My Courses section remained empty with no error message. The symptom was inability to persist chosen competency courses; affected areas included the My Courses UI, the competence query, and the learning/competency portal. Ownership of the competence query was unclear to the user.

Solution

IT determined the competence query and persistence of competency selections were managed by the LCC (Learning/Competency team) rather than IT. The user was informed of that ownership and directed to open a support request with the LCC via the CareerPartner service desk portal (https://careerpartner.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/29). No changes were made by IT and the ticket was closed after handing the user to LCC support.

150. Online exam access failures caused by administrative/examination-office status (non-technical)
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students experienced incorrect exam/enrollment access due to administrative/examination‑office status or program configuration. Symptoms included messages such as “the course can no longer be booked”, “no more ECTS available”, “no permission / contact admin”, only an in‑person registration option shown, no exams displayed despite a valid Prüfungszulassung (PZ), or conversely students with restricted statuses (e.g., UVB) were still able to register/submit exams. Affected systems included MyCampus/MyCampus 2.0, online‑exams, EPOS/Care (including Care Stage), ExamEnrollmentBundle, vendor exam interfaces (Simovative) and integrated third‑party services. Reported triggers included administrative registration/status limits, enrollment/ECTS caps, missing permissions, program/Pathway/CAMA configuration issues, and misrouted support requests.

Solution

Support inspected MyCampus/MyCampus 2.0, online‑exams, EPOS and Care (including Care Stage), ExamEnrollmentBundle and vendor services (Simovative) and found no general platform‑level or authentication faults in most investigations. Multiple incidents were traced to administrative or configuration causes rather than software defects: EPOS/Care profile data sometimes enforced enrollment or ECTS limits (example: 170 ECTS booked with 130 completed plus a 10‑ECTS thesis) which produced “no more ECTS available” or “the course can no longer be booked” messages; integrated third‑party services occasionally returned permission errors because those services were not managed centrally; and Pathway/CAMA program configuration sometimes hid open exams from eligible students despite a valid Prüfungszulassung (PZ). At least one case showed incorrect status enforcement (a student with UVB status was able to submit/attend exams), and those incidents were escalated to the responsible Prüfungsamt/Student Office, course/pathway owners or the third‑party vendor for investigation. Lack of impersonation access sometimes prevented direct reproduction of a student’s workflow; in such cases support forwarded relevant profile and enrollment records plus reproduction notes to the responsible office/vendor. Tickets were closed after confirmation that no platform‑level fix was required or after the responsible office/vendor confirmed corrective action.

151. MyCampus platform outage prevented student logins
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Platform-wide and portal-specific web-service failures caused MyCampus and related portals (my.iu.org, EPOS, MyLIBF) to fail to load or hang — notably indefinite loading in Chrome. Authentication flows failed for many users, producing credential errors such as “Wrong username or wrong password” even after password resets. File uploads ceased, and after service recovery some users regained login but lacked permissions for course features (for example, Video Gallery). Some portal outages were limited to a single web server causing pages and internal links not to function.

Solution

On 2024-09-02 a platform-side service interruption during a large onboarding event caused MyCampus web pages to hang (notably in Chrome), broke authentication across MyCampus, my.iu.org and EPOS (users saw credential errors such as “Wrong username or wrong password”), and stopped file uploads. Platform engineers implemented fixes that restored the MyCampus web and authentication services; after recovery affected users regained login access and file-upload functionality. Client-side attempts (incognito mode, password resets) did not change outcomes while the platform was degraded. For remaining account-level issues after service restoration, IT verified accounts were not locked, assisted with password resets where needed, and Study Support handled follow-up. Where users regained login but lacked access to course features (for example, Video Gallery), IT validated and restored permissions by coordinating with colleagues who held the required rights. Separately, some portal outages (for example, MyLIBF) were traced to an individual web-server fault; technicians restarted the affected server and confirmed pages and internal links were functioning normally after the restart.

152. Content page access denied because page restricted to enrolled students
85% confidence
Problem Pattern

A user could sign into MyCampus but received an access/permission error when opening a specific campus information Content Page; the page did not open using the student's identity and authentication succeeded for other areas. The error indicated the content was restricted rather than a platform fault.

Solution

Investigation showed the Content Page was intentionally configured with an enrollment-based access restriction and MyCampus returned the expected access/permission error for non-enrolled or otherwise unauthorised users. The behavior was by design (not a platform bug). The case was forwarded to the faculty/content owner (Fachbereich) for any required content-access changes or clarification of the page's audience.

153. myCampus MC-profile synchronization failure causing booking/dashboard mismatches and impersonation redirects
61% confidence
Problem Pattern

Enrollments and dashboard views were inconsistent across myCampus, CARE and EPOS: bookings visible in CARE/EPOS sometimes did not appear in myCampus or appeared with placeholder names (e.g. "temp_firstname temp_lastname") and incorrect IDs. Booking or deregistration attempts sometimes returned 'registration failed' or errored; impersonation sessions occasionally redirected to the public student site. The CARE/AC5 interface sometimes returned 504 Gateway Time-out or other transient errors that prevented AC5 syncs and prevented profile/local_iubh_auth.userinfo cache updates. Additionally, the MyCampus 2.0 booking iframe occasionally hung in an indefinite loading loop (while the CARE student portal loaded correctly), sometimes observed after program/account changes. Underlying records included MC-profile/Azure AD mismatches or missing/incorrect IU-account/AAD or academic-staff academyId entries.

Solution

Investigations identified two recurring root causes and one additional UI symptom. Root causes: out-of-sync MC-profile data (missing or incorrect IU-account/AAD attributes and missing/incorrect academic-staff academyId) produced incorrect names and IDs in myCampus; intermittent CARE/AC5 interface failures (including 504 gateway time-outs) prevented AC5 syncs and profile/local_iubh_auth.userinfo cache updates. Actions taken and outcomes: specialist-driven profile corrections and resynchronizations restored correct names, IDs and enrolments in myCampus (including instructor cases where placeholder names and wrong IDs were corrected and EPOS bookings then displayed correctly). Where automated booking or deregistration failed due to divergent AAD/myCampus state, affected students were temporarily manually deregistered or manually assigned to their CFs. AC5-sync failures were captured in /moodledata/ac5_sync_jsonresponse.log (examples and ERROR #1660717211 were recorded); a bug was raised for the myCampus sprint and developers investigated using the provided examples but could not reproduce the issue and no further occurrences were observed during the monitoring period. Additional UI symptom: a MyCampus 2.0 course-booking iframe hang was investigated — the same booking page loaded directly in the CARE student portal but stalled when embedded; browser console output was requested from the user and no technical resolution was documented in the ticket. The section therefore records both the resolved profile/sync cases and the separately-investigated booking-iframe loading issue (investigation-only at time of reporting).

154. MyCampus API returns 'Course or activity not usable' when course record missing from PIM after course restart
70% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users reported inability to open course pages or Infocenter courses in MyCampus web/mobile. Symptoms included Moodle API failures (core_course_get_contents with moodle_exception 'You are not allowed to execute functions in the course context … Course or activity not usable' errorcode=errorcoursecontextnotvalid) or a generic 'course unavailable' when visiting a course URL. Technical logs commonly showed 'Course with course code <code> not found in PIM', indicating missing authoritative course metadata in the upstream PIM feed; affected systems included MyCampus web/mobile, the MyCampus API and Moodle course context resolution.

Solution

Access failures were traced to missing or deleted authoritative course records in the upstream PIM feed, which caused Moodle course-context resolution to fail and core_course_get_contents to return errorcoursecontextnotvalid (or for the course page to be unavailable without an explicit Moodle error). Cases were resolved by restoring the authoritative course record in PIM (or having the owning team re-create the course when it had been deleted centrally), re-establishing the course-to-PIM mapping so the course code and course id existed in the upstream feed, and then running a full PIM→MyCampus synchronization/provisioning pass to push the corrected metadata into MyCampus and Moodle. In Infocenter cases where the course is centrally managed, incidents were escalated to the central examinations office (e.g., zpa-dualesstudium) to restore or re-create the Infokurs; after the mapping and sync completed the core_course_get_contents calls stopped returning errorcoursecontextnotvalid (and course pages became accessible) and students regained access in MyCampus web and mobile.

155. Submission-tool email templates and sender account misapplied between program units
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

A mail-text change intended for Design studies (DS) was applied to the FS unit, causing FS registrants to receive the DS-adapted email body. During testing the first FS email was observed to be sent from the CPC service account instead of the intended sender account (IU-Abgabe-Abschlussarbeiten). Affected systems included the myCampus notification templates, the 'Abgabe von Abschlussarbeiten' submission tool, SharePoint links referenced in the emails, and the mail sender/service account mapping.

Solution

Investigators reviewed the recent template change, identified that the DS-specific template and sender mapping had been applied incorrectly to FS, and reverted/adjusted the templates so FS retained its original email body. The sender mapping was corrected so FS messages were sent from the intended IU-Abgabe-Abschlussarbeiten account rather than CPC. Post-change tests confirmed the FS emails used the correct text and sender and that referenced SharePoint links were intact.

156. Missing course in 'Vorzeitige Notenveröffentlichung' (premature grade publication) view
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Courses or modules that appeared in the grading queue were absent from the MyCampus 'Vorzeitige Veröffentlichung' (premature grade publication) view, preventing use of the expedited publication workflow. In some cases this affected Turnitin-integrated assessments: already-graded Turnitin submissions were not displayed in the reporter's account. No error messages or codes were shown in the UI. Affected systems: MyCampus premature-grade-publication view and Turnitin integration.

Solution

The issue was a defect in the premature-grade-publication feature that caused some courses/modules (including Turnitin-integrated assessments) to be omitted from the 'Vorzeitige Veröffentlichung' view. Developers acknowledged the bug but did not apply a code fix due to capacity constraints. As practical resolutions, affected staff published grades using the regular/standard grade-publication workflow so students received results, and for Turnitin-related cases support advised requesting early publication via the central examination office (ZPA). Support instructed reporters to email zpa-dualesstudium@iu.org with the module code, affected student account email(s), and details of the graded submissions not appearing so ZPA could process the early-publication request. No technical error codes were recorded in the reported incidents.

157. Course booking blocked by duplicate modules in PIM study plan causing ECTS double‑counting
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students could not book courses because MyCampus showed zero or unavailable ECTS and the course‑booking button was disabled, while EPOS/CARE displayed the expected ECTS. The booking blockage occurred when the student study‑plan data from PIM/Werdegang contained duplicate module entries or when previously recognized/reallocated courses remained present in multiple elective/WPB areas (A/B/C). Affected systems included MyCampus (booking calculator), EPOS, CARE (gradebook/profile), and the PIM/Werdegang study‑plan feed; integrations (e.g., Simovative, CareerPartner/Salesforce) and enrollment processes were also impacted in some cases.

Solution

Investigations reproduced the booking blockage and confirmed EPOS/CARE held the correct ECTS while the MyCampus student view and booking calculator showed zero or treated credits as already used. Root cause analysis determined that duplicate module entries in the study plan sent from PIM/Werdegang—either true duplicate imports or entries left behind in original elective/WPB areas after recognition/reallocation (leistungen‑verschieben)—caused the MyCampus calculator to double‑count or consider ECTS consumed and therefore disable booking. The scope included MyCampus 2.0 booking, EPOS, CARE (structured gradebook/profile), and the PIM import/recognition workflows; downstream integrations (Simovative, CareerPartner/Salesforce) and enrollment tooling were observed during triage. The issue was escalated to development for a permanent fix to the duplicate‑module import and the recognition/reallocation handling in the PIM feed. In the interim, administrative workarounds (manual enrollment and targeted adjustments in PIM/gradebook) were used to allow affected students to enroll, but no single permanent remediation was contained in the ticket.

158. Course book display and missing audio-speed control resolved by migrating the book
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

A course book rendered only on half the screen in MyCampus 2.0 and the embedded e‑learning audio player lacked playback speed controls; display-resolution changes did not correct the layout. Affected systems: MyCampus 2.0 book viewer and e‑learning audio player.

Solution

The affected book was replaced with a newly migrated version (change applied on 2024-08-12). After migration the book returned to full‑screen rendering and the expected audio playback controls became available, resolving the formatting and audio‑control issues.

159. Embedded LMS content blocked in Firefox due to browser embedded‑page restrictions
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

Embedded Microsoft authentication or SharePoint pages loaded inside iframes on the MyCampus/LMS Hub were blocked by Firefox, showing “Firefox may not display this embedded page” and referencing login.microsoftonline.com. Affected content included the myCampus handbook and other course syllabus pages; users could not open the embedded pages and sometimes experienced reluctant page reloads that disrupted editing. The issue was browser‑specific to Firefox.

Solution

Troubleshooting determined that Firefox was blocking iframe-embedded content when the framed page required Azure AD/Microsoft authentication (login.microsoftonline.com/SharePoint), causing the browser to display a “Firefox may not display this embedded page” message. Support verified the behavior and restored access by using officially supported browsers (Edge or Chrome); in some cases clearing the browser cookies/cache was also applied. Attempts to open the blocked content in a new tab did not always succeed because the Microsoft login page refused to render when embedded by Firefox. After accessing the LMS in a supported browser the embedded handbook and guides loaded normally and users were able to continue editing.

160. Add Careers Services content to MyCampus (LIBF) FAQ
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Content-owner request to add a new 'Careers Services' section to the LIBF MyCampus FAQ containing links to an internal Careers course, descriptions of services (CV/LinkedIn guides, Assessment Test and CV builders), recurring live drop-in coaching times (MS Teams), and a list of Summer Careers Essentials event dates and times. No technical errors were reported; this was a site content/FAQ update request affecting student-facing information on the MyCampus LIBF FAQ page.

Solution

Content for a 'Careers Services' FAQ section was prepared and added to the LIBF MyCampus FAQ. The entry included the course link to 'LIBF - Career Services (iubh.de)', a summary of available resources (sector insight content, CV and LinkedIn guides, Assessment Test and CV builders), published the recurring Live Group Coaching drop‑in (Tuesdays on MS Teams, 14:30–15:00), and listed the Summer Careers Essentials event schedule with the supplied dates and times. The FAQ update was implemented as a standard content change on the LIBF MyCampus FAQ page and communicated to the student-communication team.

161. Automated password-reset failure for external lecturers — manual reset workaround
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

External lecturers or staff were unable to sign in to myCampus while other services (Office 365/Teams via Okta/Microsoft account) continued to work. Symptoms included automated password-reset flows failing (for example, 'InfoRequest failed with status code 404' or missing/unusable reset links), myCampus accounts showing blocked/locked state in CARE despite valid access periods, and users reporting valid credentials not working when urgent access was required for scheduled teaching or webinars. Authentication traces sometimes showed successful Okta/Microsoft activity but failed myCampus logins. Affected systems: myCampus, Okta, Microsoft account, CARE, Office 365/Teams.

Solution

When external users could not sign in to myCampus, support restored access by one of two interventions depending on root cause. If the automated InfoRequest/reset flow failed or produced no usable link, support issued a manual password-reset email containing a direct myCampus reset link that allowed the user to set a new password; successful sign-in was later confirmed in login logs. If the myCampus account was blocked or locked (as recorded in CARE), support unblocked the myCampus account in CARE and supplied any required items or information to the user. Support also verified Okta/Microsoft account sign-in (Office 365/Teams) to confirm the issue was isolated to myCampus and reviewed myCampus authentication logs to confirm login traces and successful restoration of access.

162. Turnitin credential requests routed to Examination Office; MyCampus username provided
85% confidence
Problem Pattern

Instructors requested Turnitin access and Turnitin/MyCampus credentials urgently (for grading), but provided no specific error codes. Users expected support to supply Turnitin account credentials alongside or instead of MyCampus authentication details.

Solution

Support supplied the user’s MyCampus username (email-like identifier) and clarified that Turnitin account creation and password management were administered by the Examination Office (Prüfungsamt). Users were advised to contact the Examination Office for Turnitin credentials while MyCampus account identifiers were provided for reference.

163. Duplicate or alternate Care/myCampus accounts causing missing menus and inaccessible instructor views
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users landed in a different myCampus environment or saw a different UI because their CARE/myCampus account was duplicate, alternate, or profile mapping pointed to the wrong institutional email. Symptoms included a different profile email, missing menu items, empty or contentless instructor dashboards, unavailable Info‑Center or assigned course modules, failed password‑reset emails, and duplicate myCampus entries. Some users experienced immediate redirects when opening a user profile from the dashboard (dashboard path used course=1) while the same profile was accessible via a course‑specific URL; in several cases the account role was incorrectly set to student due to multiple student bookings or corrupted booking records in Care, producing a role mismatch and loss of instructor views.

Solution

Accounts were reconciled so the productive CARE/myCampus account and primary institutional email were used for login; missing CARE entries were created or merged and Community access was re-enabled where unset. Duplicate or alternate myCampus entries were flagged, merged, removed, or marked alternate and profile mappings were corrected. Where user views redirected when opened from the dashboard (course=1) but worked via a course‑specific URL, Care logs were reviewed and multiple student booking records that had corrupted the profile were removed/merged or corrected, which restored the proper role mapping and instructor view. Course visibility and missing modules were restored by adjusting myCampus configuration or EPOS/integration values when those settings had been altered by duplicate/incorrect enrolment data. Password resets were issued or support‑escalated when reset emails failed. Support impersonated affected instructors to verify that menus, Info‑Center and assigned course modules were visible after reconciliation. Issues that could not be resolved by account/enrolment reconciliation were escalated to MyCampus specialists. It was recorded that the Tutor‑Unit “Wechseln” (switch) control is enrolment‑dependent and may be unavailable by design for some users; affected users were referred to course management when the switch was not granted by enrolment or course settings.

164. Mixed employee and instructor role rights blocked Info‑Center and grade‑view access
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Accounts that had both employee (MA) and instructor/tutor roles showed permission denials (e.g., 'block/iubh_tutor_grades:viewgrades') and empty Info‑Center content, preventing access to instructor functions and some courses.

Solution

The employee (MA) rights were removed from the Care profile so the account carried only the instructor/tutor role. After the role cleanup the Info‑Center entries became visible and the grade‑view permission error no longer occurred.

165. Empty Excel participant export due to delayed enrollment synchronization for quarter-start courses
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Excel participant exports produced only the header row with no participant entries for certain quarterly courses (notably those starting on 01.07), because enrollments had not yet been synchronized into the course-management/exporting service.

Solution

The issue resolved once the enrollment synchronization service completed and participant records propagated to the course-management system; after the sync ran the Excel export included all enrolled participants. The behaviour was correlated with quarterly start-date timing where enrollments were not yet present at export time.

166. Instructor dashboard blank for external lecturers caused by AC5/CMaaS synchronization gaps
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

External lecturers assigned to courses saw a blank or incomplete instructor dashboard in myCampus despite assignments existing in upstream systems; dashboard contents were missing without explicit error messages.

Solution

The dashboard content returned after administrative re-evaluation of the account and a manual resynchronization between AC5 and the course-management (CMaaS) systems. Using admin 'sign in as' to inspect the user view and confirming course publication/state revealed the sync gap; once the synchronization/run completed the lecturer's dashboard populated correctly.

167. Course listed as inactive before scheduled quarter-start activation
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Courses appeared in MyCampus as inactive or missing from instructors' active course list, preventing content uploads and participant access; MyCampus displayed a course record but publishing and access controls were disabled with no explicit error. The symptom occurred when the course record was scheduled to activate at a future term start in the course-planning system (Care/LCC) or when the course record was incorrectly marked inactive in the LMS or course-planning system.

Solution

Support inspected the course records in the course-planning system (Care/LCC) and MyCampus to determine why courses were listed as inactive. When a future term/quarter activation was configured in the course-planning system, the subject team confirmed the system was set to automatically enable the course at the scheduled term start and instructors were informed that uploads and participant access would become visible after that automated activation. When a course was incorrectly marked inactive in the LMS, an administrator updated the course status/listing in MyCampus and the course moved into the instructor's active courses. In cases where the authoritative course record was managed in an external course-planning tool (LCC) and support lacked access, support confirmed they could not change visibility and advised the requester to open a ticket with the LCC team via the careerpartner.atlassian.net service portal. Tickets were closed after the cause and outcome were communicated to the instructor.

Problem Pattern

Students opening an IU Learn/Moodle quiz saw an error message stating "a problem with the quiz has occurred" and could not load the quiz. The error persisted across multiple attempts and browsers for affected users while other course pages remained reachable. Affected systems: IU Learn quiz module (learn.iu.org) and web browser session state.

Solution

The issue was resolved by clearing site-specific browser cookies for learn.iu.org and reloading the browser session. After the site cookies were deleted and the browser was restarted/reloaded, the quiz opened normally for the user.

169. MyCampus 2.0 course-booking UI showing test/variant display of credits and icons
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

The MyCampus 2.0 course-booking view displayed misleading credit counters and icons (e.g., showing full available credits like 30/30) while users could not actually book the expected number of credits. Multiple users reported the visual/display discrepancy that prevented understanding true booking availability. Affected systems: MyCampus 2.0 front-end and embedded CARE booking iframe.

Solution

Investigation found the mismatch was not caused by a backend capacity bug but by an intentional UI variant rolled out to a test group in MyCampus 2.0. The booking UI content was served via embedded CARE iframes. The behaviour was confirmed as part of an ongoing optimisation/test and a support ticket was opened with the third‑party vendor (Simovative) for tracking and follow-up; no booking-capacity data was altered on the backend during the investigation.

170. Tutor role mapping in Moodle hid attendance and timetable in myCampus
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Course instructors (tutors, lecturers, guest lecturers) had valid MyCampus/CARE accounts but could not see course-specific lecture timetables/schedules or complete attendance lists. Affected users often retained general MyCampus/CARE access while the 'My Courses' view omitted one or more programs or courses (including programs with quarterly starts) or showed only isolated lecture dates; attendance lists were incomplete or missing for recent sessions. No error messages were presented; affected roles included Campus Studies guest lecturers and other course staff whose course-specific views did not appear.

Solution

Access problems that hid attendance capture and lecture timetables in MyCampus and CARE were traced to two distinct causes and resolved accordingly. Where the Moodle-to-myCampus role mapping was incorrect, the Moodle tutor/lecturer role was remapped on the Moodle side to the correct myCampus-facing role, which restored attendance-tracking and timetable visibility (this included Campus Studies guest lecturers). Where users lacked a course assignment/affiliation in Course Management, restoring the user’s course assignment/affiliation in Course Management restored the missing timetable and attendance views; support did not itself alter course assignments. Support first confirmed whether users had general MyCampus/CARE access or only lacked course-specific timetable/attendance views and applied the appropriate fix; tickets were closed after requesters were asked to verify access and no further reply was received.

171. Community tile links blocked by impersonation (Anmelden als) JavaScript overlay
70% confidence
Problem Pattern

Community tab images in myCampus showed no functional links: clicking did nothing and right-click offered only 'save image'. Underlying anchor URLs pointed to SharePoint/Teams invitation targets but a JavaScript overlay related to the 'Anmelden als' (login-as/impersonation) feature intercepted clicks and prevented navigation. Affected users were signed in with institutional IU accounts; problem manifested only when impersonation overlay was active.

Solution

Investigators verified that the image anchor targets existed and pointed to SharePoint/Teams but were being blocked by the 'Anmelden als' JavaScript overlay. The overlay behaviour for impersonation was adjusted so that the invitation links behind the community images became clickable again, restoring direct navigation to the SharePoint/Teams targets and recovering the historical invitation-link behaviour.

172. Intermittent myCampus login/access failures from browser, firewall or upstream CARE errors
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users experienced intermittent or complete inability to load or log in to myCampus and related IU web portals. Symptoms included browser errors (e.g., "This site cannot be reached"), authentication failures such as "credentials incorrect" despite unchanged passwords, password-reset UI anomalies (verification code sent but no input box), and account-locked messages; behavior varied across browsers and devices and sometimes affected multiple but not all users. Incidents were sometimes correlated with client-side device or network problems (for example, faulty Wi‑Fi/WLAN drivers) or with upstream CARE booking/authentication service failures.

Solution

Multiple root causes were identified and resolved across incidents. Where failures originated in the upstream CARE booking/authentication system, fixes deployed in CARE restored authentication and booking flows. Where failures were client-side or network-related, access was restored either when the site recovered or after client-side state was replaced; temporary access in some incidents was achieved by switching browsers or toggling firewall/network settings. In one case support reviewed the user profile and found no anomalies; the underlying cause was a faulty laptop Wi‑Fi/WLAN driver that prevented successful login. Developer traces and HAR files were collected and used to diagnose failures. Several incidents were transient and resolved when sites became reachable; in one mylibf password-reset incident the verification-code input returned and the account-locked message cleared. A subset of tickets recorded recommended troubleshooting actions (for example, clearing browser/session state and checking network connectivity) but were closed when users did not respond.

173. Praxisberichte approval status not syncing from myCampus to CARE for 7th‑semester students
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Approval (CE) status for 7th‑semester Praxisberichte submitted and approved in myCampus was not being propagated to CARE for some students (WiSe22 cohorts). Affected records showed the sync had stopped and CARE did not reflect the approval/CE status, preventing downstream exam/registration processing.

Solution

The synchronization pipeline between myCampus and CARE was diagnosed and restored; after the sync was re-enabled, approval/CE statuses for affected 7th‑semester Praxisberichte transferred correctly into CARE. Sample affected students were checked and their CE statuses were confirmed present in CARE following the restore.

174. Cannot delete or recall previously-sent myCampus automated mails
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Requesters asked IT to delete or recall automated myCampus messages that had been sent previously; recipients continued to receive those messages (examples included info-session notices). Users expected already-sent automated mails to be removed from recipients' inboxes. Affected systems were myCampus and the mailing delivery infrastructure; there were no delivery error codes or failure reports.

Solution

Support verified that messages sent via the myCampus mailing mechanism had already been delivered to recipients and could not be recalled or removed from recipients' inboxes. No deletion or recall action was possible from the myCampus side; the ticket was closed after confirming delivery status and no further action was performed.

175. Video gallery blocked when browser blocks third-party session cookies (Safari)
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users on Safari (macOS) could not open the MyCampus video gallery because the browser was blocking third-party session cookies; the gallery failed to load without specific error codes. The issue affected media playback/Media Service integration in MyCampus and was reproducible when Safari's cookie policy prevented third‑party session cookies.

Solution

Support identified that Safari's blocking of third‑party session cookies prevented the Media Service video gallery from opening. The user was advised to try alternative browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera) that allow the required session cookies, and the case was forwarded to the Media Service team for specialist handling; the ticket recorded the recommendation and escalation but no in‑ticket technical remediation was applied.

176. University calendar missing due to account/view selection and duplicate accounts
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

A user could not see the University calendar in MyCampus for their DS view. The account had multiple entries with the same name, causing the wrong login/view to be active and the calendar tile to be missing from the dashboard. No error messages were shown; the visible UI differed depending on which account/view was selected.

Solution

Support requested a full screenshot to confirm which account/view was active, then adjusted the user's account/view settings so the University calendar tile appeared in MyCampus. The user confirmed that the calendar became visible after the support-side view correction.

177. Turnitin submission files in MyCampus endless-loading and not opening
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

When opening Turnitin-submitted files from the MyCampus dashboard, users saw either a perpetual loading indicator (three dots) with files never opening, or the document briefly rendered then went black. No explicit error codes were reported. The issue affected multiple submission folders and individual submissions and was observed on specific client devices (including Dell PCs after a full OS reset). Affected systems were Turnitin and MyCampus.

Solution

Support investigated user-reported client-side troubleshooting (reboots and attempts to open multiple submissions) but no technical fix was captured in the tickets. The cases were escalated and forwarded to the specialist Turnitin/assessment-tool team and to the examinations office (the Exams Office managed Turnitin), with the operational contact informed for further coordination. Tickets were closed in the support queue after the escalation handover; no resolution details were recorded in the support tickets.

178. General 'Error while connecting to CARE' blocking MyCampus features
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

MyCampus pages that rely on external integrations (for example CARE, the Info‑Center for lecturers, and Zoom virtual classrooms) failed to load or returned errors such as 'General Error while connecting to CARE' or remained stuck on a loading screen. Problems persisted across browsers and from multiple locations, indicating backend connectivity or integration service failures rather than local browser issues. Affected features included My Timetracking, University Calendar, the Info‑Center and links to virtual lecture rooms.

Solution

Support escalated the incidents to the specialist/backend team; the specialist team applied backend remediation specific to the affected integration (for example fixes to the CARE integration or an update to the Info‑Center/Zoom integration). After the backend fixes/updates were deployed, connections were restored and affected MyCampus features (My Timetracking, University Calendar, Info‑Center and virtual lecture rooms) worked again; user access was confirmed.

179. Incorrect course-link/redirection between MyCampus (MC1) and Learn App showing wrong materials
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Course and media links in MyCampus, MyCampus Classic, and the Learn App routed users to unrelated materials or failed to hand off correctly. Symptoms included materials or videos appearing under the wrong module or chapter, mislinked course IDs that opened another course’s content, missing '-classic' suffixes that caused role-dependent redirects (working for admin/LCC but failing for teacher accounts), and cases where the Learn App was in maintenance mode so reported mislinks were not corrected. Affected systems included institution-specific MyCampus instances, MyCampus Classic, and the Learn App.

Solution

Multiple distinct root causes for wrong or broken course links were observed and handled according to ownership and product state. One incident was caused by an incorrect module-to-resource mapping (DLMCSEAITSC02-01 pointed to DLBSAMISA01-01); support corrected the mapping so the module pointed to its proper materials and link behavior was restored, and the corrected mapping was verified in the new MyCampus (MyCampus 2.0) app. A separate LIBF case failed for teacher accounts because the course URL lacked the expected "-classic" suffix and therefore did not hand off to MyCampus Classic; that link continued to work from LCC/admin vantage and the case was escalated to specialist/IU teams after the LIBF course team confirmed they could not change the link, with ownership transferred to the responsible specialist group. A Learn App content issue placed a video for script DLBGBGPPAG01 under the wrong chapter (shown under 4.1 but belonging to 2.1); the request was forwarded to the specialist team, which reported the Learn App was in maintenance mode and individual content corrections were not supported, and the ticket was closed without linkage changes. These incidents demonstrated three separate failure modes—misconfigured module/resource mappings, role- and URL-suffix-dependent redirect failures, and content/chapter mislinks that in some cases could not be changed due to product maintenance—and required different ownership or product-team actions to resolve.

180. iCal/calendar events missing in MyCampus due to CARE→MyCampus synchronization break
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students saw modules on their MyCampus dashboards but no timetable/calendar events; CARE contained the schedule but iCal events did not transfer into MyCampus. The problem affected entire planning groups and was suspected after an infrastructure change (AWS migration) that disrupted calendar export/synchronization.

Solution

The responsible fachabteilung restored the iCal transfer/synchronization pipeline between CARE and MyCampus. After re-enabling the calendar export, calendar events appeared in affected students' MyCampus timetables and verification confirmed appointments were visible.

181. Intermittent MyCampus 2.0 quiz access and unclickable answers (mod_quiz)
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students could not start or interact with specific MyCampus 2.0 (mod_quiz) quizzes: quizzes either failed to load or loaded with nonresponsive controls (answer options unselectable, placeholders pre-populated inside questions, enabled 'Check' or 'Report question' buttons that did not respond). The problem typically affected an individual course quiz while other quizzes continued to work, occurred across browsers, could be intermittent or persist for multiple days, and in some investigations coincided with network/CORS or inter-service communication errors.

Solution

Two distinct causes were identified and resolved. Platform-side intermittent failures: investigations found failed communication between quiz services and platform-level network/CORS or infrastructure faults that prevented quizzes from loading or responding; platform and course-platform maintainers applied remediation at the platform/infrastructure layer, after which the affected quizzes loaded correctly and answer selection became responsive. Support actions such as advising users to clear browser cache did not resolve these platform-level communication failures. Course-content/UI defects: other incidents were caused by malformed question content or UI issues (for example, placeholders improperly pre-populated), which made answer options and controls ('Check', 'Report question') nonfunctional; these were escalated to specialist or course-management teams for content correction. Some cases could not be reproduced during investigation; in at least one incident no platform code change was recorded and the ticket was closed after escalation to course management.

182. CF module popup-authentication failures requiring manual enrollment
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

A MyCampus enrollment flow sometimes prevented students from completing self-enrolment. Symptoms included CF-module popup authentication failures that blocked popup-login and course access (notably on DLMDWME01), and a MyCampus 2.0 course-booking confirmation modal rendering off-screen inside a new iframe so users could not scroll to or interact with the signup modal. Impersonation reproduced the CF popup-auth issue but did not reproduce the iframe/modal positioning issue; affected browsers included Firefox, Chrome, Edge and Opera.

Solution

Two distinct enrollment-blocking issues were observed and resolved. For the CF-module popup-authentication failure on DLMDWME01, support manually enrolled the affected student to restore immediate access; later attempts to reproduce the popup-login error failed and normal myCampus enrolment resumed. For the MyCampus 2.0 course-booking issue, the booking confirmation modal was diagnosed as rendering off-screen inside the new iframe wrapper so the greyed overlay prevented interaction and some students could not scroll to the modal. Support provided manual enrolment or alternative registration routes for impacted users while engineering adjusted the iframe/modal implementation (positioning/scrolling behavior) so the confirmation modal appeared within the viewport and the self-enrolment flow was restored. The iframe/modal problem was not consistently reproducible via impersonation and affected multiple browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Opera); Care showed mixed behavior where registration could succeed but the course could not be started in some cases.

183. Instructor control and large‑meeting participant permissions in Teams (Course Feed sessions)
50% confidence
Problem Pattern

During Teams sessions started from the Course Feed after a DMS integration, instructors in large meetings (many dozens to hundreds of participants) reported participants were able to mute the instructor's microphone and enable cameras, causing disruptive behaviour. The issue occurred in live course sessions delivered via course-integrated Teams links and affected instructor ability to monitor and manage attendees.

Solution

Support escalated the incident to platform specialists but no single in-ticket technical change was applied. The incident record documented that host/meeting‑type and meeting‑licensing options (scheduling as a Teams Live Event or moving to an alternative conferencing product with appropriate large‑meeting controls) were discussed as ways to avoid participants controlling the presenter in large sessions. No definitive fix was implemented in the Course Feed itself during the logged support activity.

184. Access to external assessment tool (Bongo) blocked via MyCampus — specialist/assessment-team handoff
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users attempting to access external assessment tool integrations from MyCampus (for example Bongo or Turnitin) encountered access/permission denials or missing/incorrect submission date ranges that prevented reaching the assessment interface or submitting/viewing assignments. Affected systems included the MyCampus course entry and the external tool integration; user reports did not include actionable error codes beyond denied access or absent future dates.

Solution

Helpdesk-level investigation validated that the MyCampus-side symptom was occurring but that the underlying settings or permissions were controlled by the external assessment tool’s owning team. For Bongo cases, ownership was handed to the assessment-tool operations team and requests were forwarded to assessment-tool-operation@iu.org. For Turnitin cases, the issue involved the submission period/date configuration (for example a Turnitin window showing dates only through December 2024 for course DLBPAWPP01) and ownership rested with the examinations office (Prüfungsamt/akad-pruefungsamt); the requester was advised to contact that office. No helpdesk-side permissions changes or technical fixes were performed in these tickets; ownership was handed off and the tickets were closed after referral.

185. InfoCenter lecturer link redirected to LIBF (link mapping bug) with student‑view workaround
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

InfoCenter resource links in MyCampus resolved incorrectly: clicking certain InfoCenter links (for example, 'Library and Information Services' from the lecturer view or the 'Citation Guide' from a course module) resulted in wrong redirects (e.g., to the LIBF page) or application error pages (example failing URL: /local/iubh_generic/faq.php?pf=oi). The failures were observed from MyCampus InfoCenter navigation and affected both lecturer and student views depending on the link.

Solution

Support escalated the InfoCenter routing/link-mapping defects to the development/specialist team and logged the issues. The development team reported no available developer capacity to implement fixes at that time, so each problem was tracked in Jira and interim workarounds were communicated to users. For the LIBF redirect, affected lecturers were directed to access Library and Information Services via the student InfoCenter path. For the broken Citation Guide link (example failing URL: https://mycampus.iubh.de/local/iubh_generic/faq.php?pf=oi), affected students were given an alternate direct access path to the Citation Guide. The issues remained open in development tracking while tickets were closed after the temporary access instructions were provided.

186. Student grade‑overview (Notenübersicht) access restoration
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

A student reported that their grade overview (Notenübersicht) was inaccessible and they could not view grades; the portal showed no grades or blocked the grade overview page for that account.

Solution

The issue was escalated to the specialist team and resolved by the specialist restoring the student's access to the grade overview. After the specialist action, the student could view their grades again; the ticket recorded access restoration as the remediation.

187. Missing lecturer/admin UI and competency recognition problems in myCampus
75% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users with lecturer accounts saw a student-like myCampus view: lecturer-specific menus or tabs (e.g., 'Lehrendenverwaltung', Info-Center) were missing. The Kompetenzabfrage (competency check) sometimes did not recognize users as Academic Lecturer. Profile competence-area metadata was incorrect (wrong subject area), preventing access to lecturer templates and upload areas.

Solution

Incidents where lecturer users saw a student-like myCampus view were resolved by two distinct paths. In some cases specialists restored missing lecturer/admin UI areas so affected users regained access to Lehrendenverwaltung, Info-Center and other lecturer tabs. Other cases were traced to incorrect role/profile mappings or wrong competence-area metadata; these were escalated to the specialist team for profile/competence corrections (ticket notes recorded escalation but no automated in-ticket fix). A subset of occurrences was caused by an application bug in myCampus; those tickets were escalated to developers who acknowledged the bug and worked on a code fix. Tickets generally documented that resolution required specialist-level role/profile and UI-state corrections or developer fixes rather than a standard helpdesk action; no universal in-ticket workaround was available in the recorded cases.

188. Missing unit‑switch toggle and Deputatsplaner navigation after role/unit change
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

User reported that myCampus did not show the FS/DS unit‑switch toggle and that the Deputatsplaner left navigation was reduced to a single item after their account role changed from DS external lecturer to an AL role in MSD/FS. The user could only see DS content and could not access FS‑specific course views; no explicit error messages were shown. Affected systems: myCampus UI and Deputatsplaner navigation after account/role changes.

Solution

Administrative account updates were applied to the user account by support staff (changes recorded 2025‑01‑02) which restored expected Deputatsplaner navigation and access. Support also clarified that the myCampus unit‑switch toggle is only displayed when a user has active enrollments across multiple distinct unit types (for example both DS and FS); this clarification resolved the expectation that the toggle should appear immediately after a role change when no multi‑unit enrollments existed.

189. Course video deletion requests routed to subject team/service desk
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

A requester asked for deletion of course videos (project report artefacts) from specific myCampus courses because the materials were causing repeated misunderstandings; the exams office declined responsibility and referred the requester on. The requester sought contact details and deletion action for videos in named course codes.

Solution

The request was routed to the course subject‑matter team (Fachteam) and the requester was instructed to lodge the deletion request through the organisation's service‑desk portal (careerpartner.atlassian.net). The ticket was closed after forwarding and advising the service‑desk submission route; deletion actions were therefore handled by the Fachteam/service‑desk workflow rather than general platform support.

190. Automatic course creation failed because curriculum entries were missing
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Two elective modules were not created by the curriculum/event generation system and manual creation via the New Event UI also failed, causing students in affected cohorts to not see the courses on dashboards or timetables. Systems involved included curriculum management, the course/event generation module and myCampus; no explicit error codes were present in the report.

Solution

Curriculum Management added the missing elective entries to the affected curricula so that the event/course generation process could create the modules. After the missing curriculum entries were restored, the generation process completed and the courses became visible to the affected cohorts in myCampus.

191. Video gallery menu missing for students in MyCampus 2.0 (visibility/permission bug)
85% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students could not see the video gallery menu item in MyCampus 2.0 for multiple non‑script modules even though the same gallery and videos were visible in MyCampus Classic and to course admins/when impersonating. The issue affected the MC2.0 UI rendering/visibility for student roles across several module codes.

Solution

Development and support applied a targeted fix (deployed 2024‑12‑06) that corrected the permission/visibility discrepancy between MyCampus Classic and MyCampus 2.0. After the fix was deployed the video gallery menu item and student access to the gallery were restored for the affected modules.

192. Uploads failed from a new Windows 11 laptop due to transient local performance/updates
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

A user reported that uploading lecture materials to myCampus aborted on a new Dell Windows‑11 laptop across multiple browsers, with long page loads and delayed input responsiveness; uploads succeeded when using the user's old device. No explicit error codes were captured and the behaviour was intermittent.

Solution

The user temporarily used their previous laptop to complete uploads. No platform changes were required; the user later reported that uploads and other applications began working again without additional support intervention. Support noted that a background OS or application installation/update causing transient resource contention on the new device was the likely cause of the temporary upload failures.

193. Duplicate active course entry visible on student dashboard requires course admin/LCC action
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

A student saw a duplicate listing of a passed course on their myCampus dashboard (one active, one inactive instance) and requested removal of the active duplicate; no system error messages were produced. The duplication related to course booking/enrollment state rather than a client UI bug.

Solution

Support confirmed that platform support did not have privileges to remove course bookings. The student was advised to contact the course lecturer or Course Coordination (LCC) because removal of an active booking/enrollment was managed by course administration. The ticket was closed after providing this guidance.

194. Third‑party assessment tool (Syntea) displaying incorrect multiple‑choice results
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

A third‑party assessment platform (Syntea) showed multiple‑choice answers/results that did not match the course script for a specific course. Affected students saw mismatched grading/answer displays; screenshots were provided. No application error codes were present and the symptom was reported as of 2025-10-01.

Solution

Support confirmed the anomaly was with the external Syntea service and instructed the reporter to escalate to Syntea Support. The reporter contacted Syntea Support on 2025‑10‑14; no corrective actions were recorded in the myCampus/IT ticket because the vendor owns grading-display logic. The case was therefore handed over to Syntea for investigation and resolution.

195. myCampus calendar events not propagated to external/shared calendars (Outlook read-only, Teams, Zoom)
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Events and lecture schedules shown in myCampus did not appear in external/shared calendars: the institutional read‑only 'IU' Outlook calendar remained on an older planning state and Teams/Zoom calendars did not receive myCampus events. Users saw mismatched room changes and schedule updates; no error codes were reported. Problem observed from 2025‑09‑01 and similar reports indicated no direct sync capability.

Solution

Support investigated and confirmed that myCampus does not automatically push or synchronize lecture-plan updates into the institution's read‑only IU Exchange calendar nor directly into Teams or Zoom calendars. For the read‑only IU calendar the ticket was closed as 'Won't Do' and users were advised to import the current myCampus .ics into their personal Outlook calendar as a practical workaround. For Teams and Zoom, support confirmed direct synchronization was not supported and recommended using Outlook as the central, aggregated calendar for visibility of myCampus events.

196. PDF attachments not visible in myCampus 2.0 Newspost attachment area
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

PDF files attached to Newsposts in myCampus 2.0 did not appear in the post's attachment/preview area even though identical posts showed attachments in myCampus 1.0. In related reports, links from News entries to attached event files or PDFs were non-functional, preventing users from opening the attached documents; occurrence varied by product family and News/FAQ ownership.

Solution

Support classified missing PDF previews and non-functional News-entry links in myCampus 2.0 as product/feature gaps rather than operational faults. The underlying display/attachment behaviors were logged as feature requests and deferred due to development capacity; no platform code fix was implemented in the source support tickets. Where feasible, content owners were given temporary manual workarounds (for example, linking directly to the stored PDF). Tickets that clearly concerned News posts or FAQs were forwarded to the Studkomm/Fachteam and users were advised to open follow-up requests in the Studkomm Jira project; some source tickets were closed after this reroute without an immediate technical resolution. All change requests and observations were recorded for future prioritization.

197. Intermittent MyCampus 2.0 login failures tied to upstream service reachability (STUDY_INFO / GrowthBook)
61% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users were unable to load MyCampus 2.0 study-related features (study/booking information, grade overview, course registration/exam enrolment, dashboard, application management). The frontend returned errors such as GROWTHBOOK_CANT_REACH, STUDY_INFO_CANT_REACH, localized 'No booking info available', or a generic 'Something went wrong' with an 'unknown' error code; some reports contained no explicit error code. Failures affected multiple users across browsers and platforms and were intermittent—some attempts succeeded while others timed out. Backend logs showed mixed outcomes; timing-related upstream service timeouts or intermittent reachability when retrieving study/booking or study-progress (SSD/PIM/study-plan) data were suspected.

Solution

Support reviewed authentication and upstream service logs and observed mixed outcomes: some frontend requests completed while others timed out when requesting study/booking and study-progress data from GrowthBook, STUDY_INFO and SSD/PIM (study-plan) domains. Affected users saw frontend errors including GROWTHBOOK_CANT_REACH, STUDY_INFO_CANT_REACH, localized 'No booking info available', and occasionally a generic 'Something went wrong' with an 'unknown' error code; in at least one case the STUDY_INFO_CANT_REACH/'no booking information available' error appeared immediately after a password reset. End-user troubleshooting steps (cache/data cleared, tested multiple browsers including Edge on Windows 10, disabled plugins, used incognito, reinstalled) did not resolve the issue. Support requested browser console logs, network traces, and recorded browser user-agent details to capture failing requests and correlate with backend timing; no backend configuration changes or software patches were applied. A connectivity/timing hypothesis—very slow client internet or intermittent upstream service reachability causing upstream request timeouts—was noted, and further troubleshooting was deferred pending captured diagnostics or recurrence with captured logs.

198. Outdated email address displayed in myCampus user profile
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

A user's myCampus profile continued to display an old/legacy email address despite the email being changed in other systems. The incorrect email was visible in the MyCampus UI and needed correction for communication and account consistency.

Solution

Support updated the email address shown in the myCampus profile to the user's current institutional address and confirmed with the user that the display now reflected the correct email. The ticket was closed after validation.

199. Intermittent MyCampus user-list search returning no results
85% confidence
Problem Pattern

Entering a name in the MyCampus user-list search intermittently returned no persons or results. The issue was sporadic (worked at times, failed at others), produced no error codes, and affected the MyCampus user-list search UI for multiple staff users.

Solution

Support investigated and found no systemic bug in the search backend. Staff were advised that overlapping or concurrent active search queries in the UI could block/override results and to close previous search requests before initiating a new one. No code change was required and users were told to reopen tickets if the problem recurred.

200. Course introduction video/player did not open (Kaltura playback)
70% confidence
Problem Pattern

Clicking the course 'introduction video' button in MyCampus did nothing — the video player failed to open and no error message was shown. The failure was reproducible in current Edge and Chrome despite accepted cookies, and affected Kaltura-hosted course videos.

Solution

Support escalated the issue to the Kaltura specialist team for investigation. The user was asked to capture and supply a screenshot of the failure and any browser console/network errors to Kaltura (kaltura@iu.org) so the playback provider could diagnose the player load failure. The ticket was forwarded to the Kaltura team for their remediation.

201. Document Generator syntax error when creating matriculation certificate
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students received a 'syntax error' when attempting to generate or download the matriculation certificate from the MyCampus Document Generator. Other document types could still be generated, and the failure affected a specific set of accounts.

Solution

A developer applied a targeted fix to the Document Generator code that corrected the syntax error affecting the matriculation-certificate template. Support verified the fix by using the Impersonate tool to act as affected users and successfully generate the matriculation certificate; the issue was resolved after the deployment.

202. MyCampus 1.0 empty dashboard and missing profile sync (BPW configuration)
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Multiple students' MyCampus 1.0 dashboards rendered empty and tabs (calendar, timetable, courses, documents) produced error messages. Affected users were repeatedly prompted for an address with no Edit Profile option; the dashboard and calendar modules were inaccessible.

Solution

Support identified that user profile synchronization had failed because the expected BPW profile configuration had not been implemented. The BPW/profile configuration was corrected and a profile synchronization was triggered. Logs showed recent successful syncs and affected users' dashboards, calendar, timetable and documents became accessible again; ticket was closed after verification.

203. Missing LinkedIn Learning link in LIBF MyCampus FAQ
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

LIBF MyCampus FAQ pages did not contain a visible link to the institution's LinkedIn Learning resource while the IU-wide MyCampus FAQ did. Affected users could not locate the LinkedIn Learning reference from the LIBF FAQ area; no error codes were produced and the symptom was simply absent/missing content.

Solution

The ticket was forwarded to the student-communication / FAQ administration team who own LIBF FAQ content. The FAQ administrators added the LinkedIn Learning link to the LIBF MyCampus FAQ and confirmed the change; the issue was closed.

204. Blank/white screen when embedding Teams videos into MyCampus Video Gallery (Kaltura integration)
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users attempting to add or upload videos in the MyCampus Video Gallery (e.g., Typografie > Videogalerie > add to channel) encountered a blank or white page instead of the upload/embed UI. The UI failed to render for both Microsoft Teams embeds and direct uploads, produced no error codes, and in some reports appeared to affect only individual users.

Solution

Incidents were escalated to the Kaltura specialist team because Kaltura support owned the MyCampus Video Gallery integration; Kaltura contact kaltura@iu.org was provided and tickets were handed off to that specialist team. In a separate, user-specific report, support recommended client-side troubleshooting—clearing browser cache and cookies and retrying the upload in a different browser—but the user did not confirm whether that resolved the issue and the ticket was closed without verification.

205. No confirmation email after saving CARE-backed specialization (Vertiefungswahl)
50% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students who save one or more specialization choices (Vertiefungswahl) in myCampus (selection stored via a CARE iFrame) did not receive an automatic confirmation email and no contact-history entry was created in CARE. The missing message was reported as a functional/UX gap (no failure/error codes). Stakeholders requested an email with a specific subject/body and visibility of the sent message in the student's CARE contact history.

Solution

The request was logged as a feature/enhancement: acceptance criteria were captured (email subject/body personalization listing chosen specializations and an instruction paragraph; and the email to be recorded in the CARE contact history). No runtime errors were reported and no implementation or deployment was recorded in the ticket. A cost/effort estimate was requested alongside the feature specification to enable development planning.

A course grade appeared in myCampus with the grade value visible but the numeric points column empty; this caused exports/grade-sheets to error. Investigation traced the missing points to a tutor data-entry action where only the grade (note) was entered via the CARE Community iFrame and numeric points were not recorded in CARE.

Solution

Investigators confirmed the root cause was incomplete tutor entry through the CARE Community iFrame: CARE did not receive numeric points because the tutor saved only the grade value. The problem was not a MyCampus calculation bug; restoring or entering the numeric points into the CARE examination record corrected the myCampus grade overview and cleared the grade-sheet errors. The incident highlighted the process gap in using the CARE Community iFrame for grade entry.

207. Lecture schedule shows no room info due to missing course-management permissions
75% confidence
Problem Pattern

Lecture schedules (Vorlesungspläne) for a course displayed in myCampus without room/location information, which prevented composing bulk mail and other room-dependent actions. The missing room data affected users at a specific campus and no system error codes were produced; local troubleshooting (browser/cookies) did not resolve the missing fields.

Solution

Support traced the visibility issue to course-management permissions: the required role/permission was not assigned to the responsible course-management account, so room/location fields were hidden in the myCampus lecture-plan view. Support recommended that Course Management assign the appropriate course role (or escalate to LCC) to restore room visibility. Client-side measures (different browser, clearing cookies/cache) were suggested as diagnostics but the visibility depended on server-side course-role assignment.

208. Automatic Care-managed folder placement caused perceived loss of course folder
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

A course/media folder (e.g., folder ID 10279840) appeared to have 'moved' or been embedded under an old event/lecture-series folder and was not available at the original path, preventing users from uploading via their initial navigation method. No error codes were shown; users reported that the folder was no longer accessible as a separate upload destination.

Solution

Support confirmed the folder hierarchy was controlled automatically by the Care-Anlage and that the folder had not been manually moved. The issue was resolved by using the myCampus Upload workflow instead of attempting to navigate directly to the old path: the user opened the Upload dialog and selected the correct lecture-series/course in the subsequent selector, after which uploads to the intended folder succeeded.

209. My Trainings (Learning Hub) embedded via SharePoint returned generic 'Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten' error
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

When accessing the Learning Hub 'My Trainings' dashboard embedded in SharePoint the user encountered a generic error message 'Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. Weitere Informationen erhalten Sie von Ihrem Administrator.' The failure was initially intermittent and became persistent; the dashboard could not be used to complete required trainings.

Solution

Support verified that the user had the required permissions and recommended using Microsoft Edge for best compatibility. After the issue persisted in multiple browsers, the case was escalated to the people-products team (people-products@iu.org) for specialist investigation of the SharePoint/Training-Hub integration.

210. Course assignment submission/upload failures required specialist tool owners or TechSupport escalation
75% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students and graders reported upload or access failures in MyCampus course assignment submission and upload modules (including the Upload Menu) and in Turnitin/course-specific LMS modules. Failures presented as generic 'upload failed' or non-specific UI errors that instructed users to contact IT, and in some cases affected only a single course folder (for example the summer-semester folder while the winter-semester folder remained accessible). Issues appeared more frequently under high system load and in courses with many participants and groups.

Solution

Support investigations determined these incidents were owned by specialist tool teams rather than general support. Where support could not identify a clear, user-level cause, cases were closed after advising reporters to contact the appropriate specialist contacts: TechSupport for student-facing upload triage, zpa-dualesstudium or zentraleadministration-dualesstudium for DLBP/course administration, and assessment-tool-operation for Turnitin/exam-assessment access. In one reported case a grader regained access after recovering their Okta password; otherwise remediation required specialist ownership or development work. Support examined affected groups/folders and found configurations intact with no direct application errors; developers identified a pattern of failures correlating with high system load and courses with many participants/groups and were working on a new Upload Menu version to address the issue (no ETA available).

211. Missing myCampus menu/UI for newly provisioned MA-course employee accounts due to provisioning/sync mismatch
75% confidence
Problem Pattern

Employees enrolled in MA courses logged in to myCampus but saw a broken UI (missing menu bar) and could not be selected in course lists. Manual AC5 syncs did not restore UI elements and the problem affected newly created accounts that otherwise appeared correct in upstream systems.

Solution

The incident was escalated to the specialist provisioning team, which investigated the CARE/EPOS account-linking and LDAP/AC5 provisioning records for the affected ACIDs. The specialist team corrected the account provisioning/synchronization state between CARE, EPOS and LDAP so that the myCampus profile and enrollment data could be pulled correctly; the users' myCampus menu and course-selection functionality were restored.

212. MyCampus showing corrected/graded exams as still 'open' or displaying phantom open corrections
62% confidence
Problem Pattern

MyCampus/LMS displayed exams or corrections with incorrect status indicators (for example showing attempts or corrections as "open" or showing phantom "open corrections" reminders) after grading was completed. Users could not tell which attempts had been graded, received recurring reminder emails about open corrections, or saw wrong exam-status badges; some reports also included loss of access to the affected course. Affected systems included MyCampus and the assessment tool/LMS; no error codes were consistently reported.

Solution

Support consistently treated these reports as assessment-tool or state-data inconsistencies and escalated them to the specialist examination/assessment operations teams. Cases were forwarded to Central Assessment Management or the Examination Office/assessment-tool operations team for investigation, and users were advised to contact the Examination Office when appropriate. Multiple tickets described incorrect exam-status indicators and, in at least one instance, a user-reported loss of access to the course; support did not apply an in-house technical fix and no definitive technical root cause or remediation was recorded in support notes.

213. Authentication mismatch for LIBF/Walbrook accounts prevented access to marking/assessment tools
72% confidence
Problem Pattern

A lecturer could not access the marking system and myCampus using LIBF and Walbrook credentials; the system reported it did not recognise the user and the lecturer could not open or grade an exam attempt. Symptoms included inability to access course materials, master solutions and to publish grades. No explicit error codes were recorded.

Solution

Support concluded the issue stemmed from account/authentication mapping between external (Walbrook/LIBF) credentials and the myCampus/marking-system account. Support advised the user to set up a dedicated myCampus password via the "Forgot password" flow, submitted a LIBF myCampus access request on behalf of the academic lead, and escalated the case to the specialist IT team responsible for account provisioning and assessment-system access. The ticket record did not include a later confirmation of the final remediation.

214. Online-Klausur (BPMG01) dashboard empty after maintenance
56% confidence
Problem Pattern

Following scheduled maintenance, the BPMG01 Online Exam / Online‑Klausur dashboard became unusable and displayed no content for users. There were no error messages or codes, only a missing/empty dashboard UI after the Monday/Tuesday maintenance window.

Solution

Support triaged the report as an examinations-office/assessment-dashboard incident and advised the requester to contact the academic examinations office (akad-pruefungsamt@iu.org) for further investigation and escalation. The ticket was closed after that referral; no technical remediation steps were recorded in the support ticket.

215. Intermittent IU Learn mobile app course sync failures while MyCampus remained correct
50% confidence
Problem Pattern

The IU Learn mobile app (iOS/iPadOS) stopped syncing courses and reported "no courses in progress" while MyCampus showed current registrations. The issue affected both iPhone and iPad clients and persisted across logout/login attempts. No error codes were displayed; screenshots showed divergence between the apps.

Solution

The behaviour was logged as a transient sync incident. The user was advised to use MyCampus as the reliable source and to attempt logout/login; the issue resolved spontaneously without a documented technical remediation. The ticket captured the spontaneous recovery but no definitive root cause or platform fix was recorded.

216. Teams Intensive-Life (ILSE) meetings not appearing in MyCampus/Outlook when created outside onboarding process
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Instructor-created Intensive Life Session (ILSE) Teams meetings did not appear in students' MyCampus calendars or their Outlook calendars/course feeds. Meetings existed in Teams for instructors but were invisible to enrolled students, causing students to add events manually. Affected systems: Teams, MyCampus (Webcampus) calendar/course feed and Outlook calendar integrations.

Solution

The missing ILSE entries were resolved by recreating the Teams meetings following the institution’s ILSE/Teams onboarding instructions so the meetings were generated with the required course-linked metadata. After the meetings were recreated per the Information Hub onboarding template, the events populated the MyCampus course calendar and propagated to students’ Outlook/Teams calendars.

217. Payment captured but course access not provisioned (LIBF order/registration mismatch)
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

A student’s payment was successfully captured by the LIBF ordering system but the corresponding course registration and access to the study portal were not completed. The student received no confirmation and had no portal access despite payment, affecting order reconciliation and learner access workflows.

Solution

Support retrieved the student’s registration details and escalated the case for finance/order reconciliation; access was restored after the payment was matched and the enrollment record was completed manually. The ticket recorded helpdesk collection of the student’s personal and payment details and a manual registration step by the study-portal/registration team once finance confirmed the transaction, after which the student received confirmation and portal access.

218. Course-required hardware kit procurement and myCampus provisioning delays for mandatory teaching materials
40% confidence
Problem Pattern

A cohort required a mandatory hardware kit (ELEGOO UNO R3 Ultimate Starter Kit) for a module but there was no confirmed procurement, cost approval, or myCampus provisioning to make the kit available to students. The lack of an approved procurement path and absence of a myCampus ordering/provisioning entry prevented students from obtaining required materials before the course start.

Solution

The case was progressed by logging the kit requirement with procurement/quality-management and initiating the institutional cost-approval workflow. Once cost approval was granted, the product was added to the course-materials provisioning process and exposed to students via the MyCampus course materials/order entry so students could obtain the required kit ahead of the Creative Lab start. (Ticket contained procurement-approval and provisioning actions; final provisioning confirmation was handled through procurement and course-materials teams.)

219. Third‑party apps and library resources: support routed to owning teams
89% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users reported inability to access external applications or course tools (Statista, PebblePad, Syntea, and unexpected/test accounts in course participant lists) via MyCampus or related portals. Symptoms included access denied, submissions not opening, missing question lists, or unfamiliar participant accounts appearing in course rosters. Users expected IT-Service Portal to resolve these application-specific faults.

Solution

Incidents were closed after ownership was confirmed and users were routed to the teams responsible for those services. Statista access cases were forwarded to the Library team (library@iu.org). PebblePad submission/viewing issues were escalated to the Examinations Office (pruefungsamt-fernstudium@iu.org). Syntea display/login problems were directed to Syntea Support. Reports of unexpected QA/test accounts were passed to the Lecturer & Course Coordination (LCC) queue for investigation of test/automation accounts. IT support did not perform application-level fixes for these services and closed the tickets after referral.

220. OneDrive import failing with AADSTS50011 redirect‑URI mismatch
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users attempting to import media from OneDrive into MyCampus saw Microsoft sign‑in failures with AADSTS50011 errors. The error message indicated the redirect URI in the authentication request did not match redirect URIs configured for the Azure AD application (application id: d37c6e4b-d66f-437f-862f-79e2ef97eb4b).

Solution

An internal team investigated the Azure AD sign‑in flow and corrected the application configuration so the redirect URI sent by MyCampus matched the URIs registered in Azure AD for the application id d37c6e4b-d66f-437f-862f-79e2ef97eb4b. After the redirect‑URI configuration was fixed the OneDrive 'Import from OneDrive' sign‑in succeeded and users were able to upload the live‑session video.

221. Course registration/booking button unresponsive after system update
92% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students clicked the 'Register' button in MyCampus but nothing happened and no error message was displayed; users could not book courses. The symptom affected multiple student accounts and specific course bookings.

Solution

The issue was traced to a recent platform update that introduced a regression in the course‑booking flow. The update‑related defect was rolled back/adjusted by the release team and the registration functionality was restored. Bookings were verified as working again after the update fix.

222. User seeing legacy/older MyCampus view prevented access to new UI
78% confidence
Problem Pattern

A user reported being shown an older version of the MyCampus portal that lacked current features and data; switching modes and language settings did not surface the newer view. The user could not locate the modern navigation or expected functionality.

Solution

A colleague demonstrated the correct navigation and access method to reach the latest MyCampus view. After being shown how to open the current portal view the user confirmed they could access the required information and the ticket was closed.

223. Unexpected or test participant accounts appearing in course rosters
74% confidence
Problem Pattern

Course owners reported unknown or 'test' accounts appearing among enrolled participants in a course roster. The entries were unexpected and the course owner could not determine their origin from the MyCampus UI.

Solution

Support advised the course owner to escalate the roster anomalies to the Lecturer & Course Coordination (LCC) team for investigation of automated/test accounts and course membership provenance. The ticket was closed after the reporter was directed to the LCC Jira Service Management queue for follow‑up.

224. Kaltura/video upload failed due to corrupt source file
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Uploaded media or document files in myCampus failed to ingest or open because the source file was corrupted. Symptoms included server-side ingestion failures for course media (Kaltura) and documents that would not open in-browser or in a PDF reader after download; failures were reproducible via Impersonate and affected course galleries or document boards. No consistent server error codes were produced; users reported repeated failures beginning on a known date.

Solution

Support determined failures were caused by corrupt source files. In a Kaltura case, the requester supplied a non‑corrupt/re‑encoded video file; the replacement file uploaded and ingested successfully and the video became available in the course media gallery. In a document case, admin reproduced the error via Impersonate and confirmed the PDF was corrupted and unreadable; no fix was implemented in that ticket and support recommended contacting the original uploader/course owner to obtain and replace the corrupted document with a non‑corrupt copy.

225. Transcript of Records generation failing because wrong template was used
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students received an error when attempting to generate/download a Transcript of Records (TOR) from a Zusatzbuchung/Studierenbuchung for additional modules. The UI error occurred in multiple browsers (Firefox, Chrome) and prevented TOR creation; the ticket referenced an attached error image but did not include server error codes.

Solution

The TOR generation failure was caused by the template selection used for the Zusatzbuchung. Changing the template/templatevorlage for the additional‑modules booking allowed the Transcript of Records to be generated and downloaded successfully.

226. Instructor course/planning-group disappearance and blocked file uploads tied to CARE→MyCampus sync/permissions
70% confidence
Problem Pattern

An instructor's planning group for a course was not listed in myCampus (missing entirely) while a different campus instance of the course blocked file uploads. Refreshing instructor rights via the myCampus UI did not persistently restore access; a temporary specialist fix made the planning group and upload available but the planning group later disappeared again. Symptoms suggested intermittent disappearance of course planning groups and upload permission loss.

Solution

A support specialist re-enabled the instructor's upload permissions and restored the missing planning‑group affiliation in myCampus so the instructor could upload materials. The remediation required applying corrected CARE→MyCampus mapping/rights on the platform side and reapplying the planning‑group association; after these changes the instructor's course listing and upload functionality were restored.

227. Password-reset automated email delayed but eventually delivered
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

User followed the documented myCampus password-reset procedure but did not receive the automated 'new password' email in their Outlook inbox immediately and was unable to log in. No delivery failure notifications or server error details were recorded at the time of the incident.

Solution

The automated password-reset email experienced a delivery delay but was eventually delivered to the user's Outlook inbox without further intervention. The user confirmed receipt of the email and was then able to authenticate to myCampus successfully.

228. IU Learning Hub onboarding page or video failing to load for a single learning path
65% confidence
Problem Pattern

Specific Learning Hub learning-path pages (onboarding modules) failed to load and embedded videos did not play while other learning-path pages worked normally; problem observed across multiple browsers after local troubleshooting (restart, cookie clear). No explicit error codes were shown and the failure was isolated to a single learning path/page.

Solution

Users attempted local troubleshooting (browser restart, cookie/cache clearing, alternate browsers) but the pages remained unavailable. Support identified the Learning Modules content as outside myCampus/IT scope and redirected the report to the Learning Modules/content owners; no platform-side configuration change was applied by myCampus support. The issue therefore remained with the Learning Hub/content team rather than being resolved by MyCampus technical changes.

229. myCampus embedded content displayed in wrong language because language-based visibility is unsupported
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Embedded content in a myCampus program view rendered in the wrong language (German shown in an English FS program view) and included incorrect spacing/formatting; users expected language-based show/hide of embedded blocks but observed program-family-level control only.

Solution

Specialists confirmed that the embedding/visibility logic did not support language-based show/hide and was driven only by program-family visibility (in this case FS). No immediate UI/content change was implemented; the report was noted for possible future enhancement but the current behaviour remained unchanged.

230. Account‑specific MyCampus 2.0 UI rendering issues in grade overview or Application Manager not reproducible by support
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

Individual student accounts saw incorrect or error displays in the MyCampus 2.0 grade overview and/or Application Manager pages while backend (CARE) records appeared correct; the UI error affected only specific accounts and was not reproducible by support on other devices/browsers.

Solution

Support verified CARE/backend data for the affected accounts and found no anomalies. Standard client-side remediation (clearing browser cache/cookies, trying incognito/private mode and different browsers) was recommended and executed during troubleshooting. No systemic backend fault was identified and the issue remained not reproducible by support; no further platform changes were applied.

231. Antragsverwaltung (Application Management) outage or service incident blocked access
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users received an error when attempting to open the Antragsverwaltung (Application Management) area in myCampus, preventing application access or submission; the error affected multiple users and appeared as a service-side incident rather than a client configuration problem.

Solution

The incident was escalated to the specialist/fachteam who identified and fixed the underlying Antragsverwaltung service fault from the previous day. After the specialist remediation, users retried access and confirmed the Application Management area was working again.

232. MyCampus login credential type confusion (username vs email) prevented access to timetable/features
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

An instructor reported inability to view lecture schedules or access MyCampus features after logging in; symptom tied to using an email address as the credential where the service expected the username, causing missing/timed features visibility.

Solution

Support advised the user to authenticate with their MyCampus username instead of their email address. The guidance was applied and the ticket was subsequently marked done (no further platform-side changes were required in response to the report).

233. Mobile app access confusion and immediate logout / missing app permissions
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

User requested access to two Android apps (billing/invoicing PowerApp and IU myCampus mobile app); experienced confusion which app to use and reported being immediately logged out or having no permissions on the app; no error codes available; symptoms reproduced on Android/PlayStore listings and involved both app-store discovery and in‑app SSO/permission state.

Solution

Support granted the user access to the billing/invoicing PowerApp and confirmed the entitlement change. For the myCampus mobile app the user was directed to the official IU myCampus listings in Google Play and the App Store and advised to use the official app that relies on existing SSO provisioning. The invoicing access issue was resolved by adding the required app entitlement; no application-side bug or error code was documented for the immediate logout symptom in the ticket.

234. MyCampus video gallery stuck on continuous 'loading' due to Kaltura integration
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

MyCampus video gallery pages displayed a persistent "loading..." indicator and failed to render media across courses and playlists. The behavior occurred in both MyCampus 2.0 (new UI/UX) and 1.0, affected multiple browsers and iPad, impacted all course galleries for affected accounts, showed no error codes, and occasionally allowed intermittent successful loads.

Solution

Support reproduced the continuous "loading..." behavior and escalated it to the Kaltura integration team. For MyCampus 2.0, Kaltura diagnosed the root cause as a fault in the Kaltura–MyCampus integration within the new MyCampus UI/UX and accepted the case for vendor remediation; no short-term client‑side fix was recorded. For MyCampus 1.0 incidents, support performed standard troubleshooting steps (cache clearing, browser checks, impersonation troubleshooting, screenshots) and forwarded cases to myIU/LX or specialist teams to investigate potential sync/integration causes; those cases likewise had no confirmed remediation documented. Several tickets were closed for inactivity while awaiting vendor or specialist updates.

235. Lecture schedules for upcoming quarters missing from student dashboard despite being entered by course management
75% confidence
Problem Pattern

Student dashboard showed only current-quarter lecture schedules; scheduled appointments for future quarters (from March onward) were not visible to the student even though course management could see those appointments in the scheduling system; user did not provide screenshots or specific examples.

Solution

Support escalated the case to the specialist scheduling/team responsible for lecture-plan publication and requested example screenshots and specific missing entries to allow investigation. No further remediation or confirmation of a root cause was documented because the user did not supply the requested examples.

236. Repeated 'Session abgelaufen' (session expired) blocking portal access and Turnitin
70% confidence
Problem Pattern

User reported needing many attempts to access myCampus materials because the portal repeatedly displayed "Session abgelaufen" (session expired) and prevented re-authentication; Turnitin became inaccessible and re-login attempts failed or were blocked.

Solution

Support recommended clearing the browser cache and trying a private/incognito browser session as initial troubleshooting steps. The ticket contained no confirmation from the user that the suggested measures resolved the issue and was auto‑closed after no response.

237. Student unable to submit Turnitin assignments — support routed to Study Support
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

A student reported that Turnitin submissions via MyCampus failed and they could not upload written assignments; no error codes or detailed reproduction steps were provided.

Solution

Employee support confirmed that student-facing Turnitin issues were handled by Study Support and advised the student to contact the Study‑Support team (techsupport@iu.org). The ticket was closed by employee support after this handoff; no technical remediation by employee IT was recorded in the ticket.

238. Employee-study account blocked by missing booking info (STUDY_INFO_CANT_REACH)
78% confidence
Problem Pattern

A staff/user created student account exists but myCampus returned error STUDY_INFO_CANT_REACH with message "no booking info available" and an empty ac5Id. The user could not reach booking/course information or complete employee-study signup; portal access failed despite a present username. Affected systems: myCampus web portal, booking/enrollment (CARE/LCC) sync and account provisioning.

Solution

The incident was resolved after the missing booking/enrollment record for the employee-study was created or repaired and the booking data was republished into the myCampus booking feed. Support confirmed the student account existed, completed the missing booking/enrollment data (account/booking linkage), and re-synchronised the booking feed so that STUDY_INFO_CANT_REACH stopped occurring and course/booking details became visible in myCampus.

Source Tickets (1)
239. Course access blocked because booking/unlock or course assignment was missing
82% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users (students, tutors or instructors) attempted to open course materials or perform course-specific actions (for example ordering a course script) in MyCampus and received messages such as "Your user is unfortunately not enrolled in this course" or saw a course listed in their overview/sidebar but could not access content. The symptom sometimes occurred only when attempting a specific action while the course still appeared in the UI. Affected systems included MyCampus, CARE, and the course-management/LCC booking/unlock and course-assignment processes.

Solution

Support investigations traced these access failures to missing or pending authoritative enrollments, booking/unlock actions, or absent instructor/course assignments in CARE or the course-management/LCC. Resolved cases were fixed when course-management/LCC or programme owners created the missing booking/unlock or assigned the course (or CARE completed pending enrollments); after the standard sync/authorization propagation users regained access. MyCampus was observed to display courses in a user’s overview/sidebar even when the authoritative enrollment was not yet valid. Where support lacked permission to change authoritative records, requests were forwarded to the course-management/CARE specialist team and users were advised to contact course management. In some tickets support also suggested client-side checks (clearing browser cache, trying a different browser) and verifying whether the error occurred immediately on click or only when performing a specific action; several matched tickets recorded no final resolution.

240. Single-user resource permission denials (certificate download, lecture schedules, video uploads)
74% confidence
Problem Pattern

Individual users experienced access-denied errors for specific myCampus resources: enrollment-certificate download returned "Keine Berechtigung", an instructor could not reach lecture schedules, and a content owner could not upload videos to a course video gallery. Symptoms suggested missing permission or a profile/role mapping problem rather than system-wide outage. Affected systems: myCampus, Care, video-gallery/teaching-formats permissions.

Solution

Where recorded, support restored the affected user's permissions or corrected the profile/role mapping and the resource access returned to normal (the enrollment-certificate download and lecture-schedule access were reported as working again after corrections). The video-gallery upload issue was escalated to the specialist teaching‑formats team for a permission and gallery-configuration review and handoff; the ticket was forwarded for specialist remediation rather than resolved within general support.

241. MyCampus 2.0 course content stuck in loading loop (CourseBooks / Video gallery)
79% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students opening CourseBooks, the course video gallery, or general course information in MyCampus 2.0 encountered indefinite loading spinners or unspecified error messages and could not access written course content or gallery chapters. The failures occurred across multiple courses/cohorts and in multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox), and persisted after clearing browser cache and accepting cookies. MyCampus 1.0 impersonate views typically displayed the content normally, indicating the issue was specific to MyCampus 2.0 content delivery.

Solution

Support investigated the MyCampus 2.0 content-delivery path and identified failures in the platform/content services that rendered CourseBooks, the video gallery, and general course information inaccessible. Service-side remediation was applied to the affected course content and platform services; fixes were rolled out sequentially across impacted courses (examples resolved in sequence included DLBDSMFC01 then DLMBSME01, with subsequent courses remediated similarly). After the platform/content-service fixes were deployed, students were able to open CourseBooks and the video gallery and access course information normally. Incident records noted that client-side actions (clearing browser cache, accepting cookies) did not resolve the issue and that the remediation was performed on the platform/content service side.

242. Course shown inactive to student due to CARE variant status (budgetiert) causing dashboard mismatch
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

A course appeared as inactive or missing on a user's myCampus dashboard while instructors saw the same course as active. The discrepancy occurred across CARE, Community and the myCampus dashboard; one course variant remained marked as 'budgetiert' in CARE and the student/instructor views differed.

Solution

Specialist investigators compared the instructor and student views and found a CARE-side variant still flagged as 'budgetiert'. The team corrected the course/variant status in CARE so the active state propagated to downstream systems. After the CARE record was fixed and propagation completed the course appeared as active on the user's myCampus dashboard and the discrepancy was resolved.

243. Teaching tabs (lecture plans, participant lists) hidden until a course is opened in myCampus
85% confidence
Problem Pattern

A user reported that teaching-related left‑menu items (Vorlesungspläne / participant lists) were missing from their myCampus view despite the account and courses appearing normal. The missing tabs became available only after interacting with a specific course tile.

Solution

Support reproduced the behaviour and confirmed the left-hand teaching menu expanded only within the context of an opened course. Clicking the course tile exposed the lecture-plan and participant menu items; no account provisioning change was required. The issue was therefore attributable to expected UI behaviour where some teaching tabs are shown only inside a course context rather than a system error.

244. DS/FS tutor-role switch and Abschlussarbeiten info access depend on enrollment and community permissions
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

A tutor could not see the unit/DS‑FS role switch in the myCampus menu and lacked access to the 'Informationen Abschlussarbeiten allgemein' section. The switch and that information area were absent from the user's UI; screenshots indicated the switch typically appears bottom-left of the menu bar for some profiles.

Solution

Support confirmed the DS/FS unit switch was a multi‑booker UI element that only appeared for accounts enrolled in both Fernstudium (FS) and On‑Campus (DS) study modes. Access to the 'Informationen Abschlussarbeiten allgemein' area was controlled by community membership/role permissions and by the user's CARE affiliation. No system bug fix was applied; the behaviour was explained as enrollment/permission dependent rather than a platform defect.

245. Vorlesungsplan view fails to load while other MyCampus features work (transient session/auth issue)
85% confidence
Problem Pattern

Schedule-related views in MyCampus (Vorlesungsplan, Deputatsplaner, Stundenplanung) sometimes showed blank or missing data or displayed unspecified error messages that blocked access. Other MyCampus features (course access, uploads, virtual-room entry) often continued to function. Users reported absent schedule UIs, inability to look up scheduled lecture times, or non‑specific error dialogs; no consistent error codes were present in reports.

Solution

Support identified three recurring dispositions for schedule-view failures in MyCampus. 1) Transient authentication/session failures tied to the MyCampus login path: re-running the MyCampus login via the IU Dashboard / Okta restored the Vorlesungsplan view for affected users and no course- or data-level corruption was found. 2) Deputatsplaner missing displays were treated as an application ownership issue: central IT confirmed Deputatsplaner maintenance belonged to the Lecturer & Course Coordination (LCC) team and requesters were directed to contact LCC via Jira Service Management; several requests were auto-closed after no reply from the requester. 3) Incidents with unspecified error messages or blocked access that did not match the above patterns were escalated to the specialist team; the specialist team investigated and applied fixes (no technical details were recorded) and access was subsequently restored.

246. OAuth2 authentication service outage or misconfiguration blocked MyCampus login
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users were unable to authenticate to MyCampus and received an error indicating the 'OAuth 2 Service' might be incorrect or unavailable. The failure prevented normal login and access to the portal until the upstream auth service issue was resolved.

Solution

Platform engineers investigated and fixed the OAuth2 authentication service configuration/availability. After the OAuth2 service was repaired, affected users were able to log in to MyCampus again and the ticket was closed following confirmation of restored access.

247. LIBF MyCampus password-reset emails not delivered to libfstudy.ac.uk accounts
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Password-reset ('forgot password') attempts for LIBF MyCampus accounts did not result in password-reset emails being delivered to libfstudy.ac.uk addresses, preventing users from completing password recovery and initial sign-in.

Solution

Support re-enabled/restored the LIBF MyCampus account access pathway and advised the user to sign in directly via the institution-specific MyCampus URL (https://mycampus.libf.ac.uk/my/) with their LIBF username. MyCampus server logs confirmed a successful login after the restoration and the case was closed.

248. Matriculation number missing in MyCampus profile due to CARE→EPOS sync/display glitch
70% confidence
Problem Pattern

A student's matriculation number was present in CARE but not visible in EPOS/MyCampus profile; the issue could not be reproduced by support and there were no error codes. Visibility was intermittent and appeared to change after user interaction (screenshot request).

Solution

Investigation confirmed the matriculation number existed in CARE while EPOS/MyCampus initially did not surface it. Requesting a screenshot from the student coincided with the matriculation number becoming visible in MyCampus; the data discrepancy could not be reproduced afterwards and no systemic defect was identified. The record remained present in CARE and the profile display returned to normal.

249. Document Generator produced blank pages for immatriculation/enrolment documents
65% confidence
Problem Pattern

When students attempted to download immatriculation/enrolment documents via the MyCampus document generator, the output was a blank page (empty PDF) instead of the expected document. Multiple users reported identical blank-download symptoms.

Solution

The document generator output was restored and the immatriculation document became available again for affected students. The ticket records did not include low-level technical remediation steps; availability confirmation was used to close the incident.

250. LIBF course-registration page hung or errored when students had no curriculum assigned
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

The LIBF course-registration/course-booking page remained in eternal loading (or produced an unspecified error/logout on impersonation) for multiple students. The symptom affected several cohort members accessing the course-booking UI in MyCampus 2.0 and the Simovative-backed booking flow.

Solution

Support traced the root cause to missing curriculum assignments on the affected student records. After the curriculum assignment issue was addressed for those students, access to the course-registration/page-loading was restored for the impacted cohort.

251. Perceived missing MyCampus dashboard/library access where account already had permissions
85% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users reported inability to access the MyCampus dashboard or online library without receiving error messages. Symptoms included lack of visible dashboard/library access or a request for access despite the account existing; some reports were triggered by submitting the request under the 'new employee' ticket type instead of the software/self-service request flow. Affected systems: MyCampus, online library, Confluence, and SelfService/Jira Service Management.

Solution

Support verified the user’s account already had MyCampus/dashboard access and confirmed online library permissions were assigned. The requester was informed that no technical error was found and that access already existed. If the request had been submitted using the 'new employee' ticket type, support explained that this ticket type auto-creates accounts and provided the correct Self Service request channels for existing users (Applikation Anfragen Self Service - IT Service Portal - Jira Service Management for Confluence; Software - IT Service Portal - Jira Service Management for MyCampus). The requester was directed to resubmit via the appropriate software/Self Service flow and the ticket was closed.

252. Address-change button missing when embedded via Pathway/iFrame
50% confidence
Problem Pattern

Some students (Pathway users / MyCampus Classic Light Theme) reported the address-change option/button missing from their profile and enrolment-certificate pages. The symptom occurred across browsers and devices and contrasted with MSD users in MyCampus2 who could change their address via profile settings. The issue appeared tied to how the address-change UI was embedded in an iFrame on certain MyCampus pages.

Solution

Support reproduced the absence of the address-change control and determined the problem was related to the address-change UI being presented inside an iFrame for affected Pathway/MyCampus Classic pages. Investigators confirmed the Light Theme itself was not responsible and that MSD test accounts could change address via the standalone MyCampus2 profile settings. No permanent platform-side remediation was recorded in the ticket; the documented outcome was the identification of the iFrame embedding as the root cause and the use of the MyCampus2/profile settings path as a working alternative for affected users.

253. Learning HUB onboarding modules locked (permission-denied on subitems)
65% confidence
Problem Pattern

A user on the Learning HUB onboarding path could open only quizzes/surveys while other course subitems appeared locked with a permission/’no access’ indicator. The locked state persisted despite reminders and prevented completion of required onboarding content.

Solution

Support was unable to resolve the permission denial within the Learning HUB and escalated ownership to the people-projects team. The user was advised to contact people-projects@iu.org to restore or adjust Learning HUB access for the onboarding path. No further technical remediation was recorded by support in the ticket.

254. Video gallery / Kaltura recordings replaced or invisible for some students
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

Course video uploads and live-recordings behaved unexpectedly: additional uploads replaced previous recordings in a course library (users saw only six recordings before replacements occurred), and some students could not see playlists or items in the course video gallery while instructors saw different UIs. No explicit error codes were reported.

Solution

Support escalated the media-upload and playback symptoms to the specialist/Kaltura teams for investigation. For the upload/replacement behaviour, the case was forwarded to the Kaltura specialist team and users were advised to contact kaltura@iu.org for specialist support. For playlist/visibility differences the ticket was forwarded to the video/teaching-formats specialist (FS-Lehrformate) and instructors were asked to engage that team to verify course-level video availability and visibility settings. No definitive platform-side fix was recorded in the support tickets.

255. External add-on links in course modules not opening or redirecting
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

Clicking external learning add-on links embedded in myCampus course modules (for example LinkedIn Learning or the ILFM teacher portal) produced no redirect or page load for instructors and returned no explicit error message. Affected systems included myCampus, LinkedIn Learning and Okta SSO. Reports sometimes noted that other users (e.g., students) could open the same link while an affected instructor could not, or that the instructor could access the add-on directly via Okta SSO but not via the myCampus link.

Solution

Requests were routed to the owning add-on or course-content teams when the fault involved the add-on or course-level configuration. For mapping or registration faults the media-production and add-on specialist teams verified add-on registration, course offering and link mapping and remediated faults at the add-on/course level. In LinkedIn Learning incidents some access problems were resolved by establishing an Okta SSO session: affected users signed into LinkedIn via okta.iu.org, after which the myCampus link opened correctly. Other reports recorded no systemic cause; affected users regained access after trying alternate browsers or confirming the link worked for other users. Ownership for remediation was placed with the add-on/course-content teams or media-production rather than core myCampus.

256. Student ID/registration number missing from profiles due to idss-student-context API
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students (LIBF) reported their student ID / registration number was missing from their profile view while the same data was present when support used impersonation. The profile fields appeared empty to end-users though backend data existed.

Solution

Investigation identified the idss-student-context API used by the MyCampus2 profile feature as the cause of the missing fields (known issues). The MyCampus2 component that depended on that API was removed for triage on the MyCampus side, ownership was handed to EduTech, and the API was scheduled for replacement in an upcoming change. Those actions restored visibility expectations for subsequent updates; the ticket recorded the API component removal and transfer of ownership rather than an immediate data fix within the MyCampus2 front end.

257. Participant-list export/selection showing incomplete email addresses for course communication
55% confidence
Problem Pattern

A professor attempting to email only students of a specific lecture series found that the participant-list selection/collect function did not display all student email addresses for the course. The filter by lecture series appeared to omit addresses from the participant UI despite the course holding a full roster.

Solution

Support attempted to reproduce and escalated the report to the specialist team. Specialists tested the lecture-series filter and produced a participant export that showed the expected addresses, and they could not reproduce the omission during their analysis. No platform-side root cause or permanent remedy was recorded in the ticket; the case was passed to specialists for deeper review and remained closed in support with the specialist handoff noted.

258. Third‑party Simovative outage blocked lecture‑plan and virtual‑classroom access
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Lecture plans, participant lists and access to the virtual classroom were unavailable for affected courses because the Simovative service failed to deliver course scheduling data. Instructors saw empty or missing lecture-plan displays and could not open the course in the VC; multiple course-management features were impacted. Symptoms appeared as a service-level outage rather than local account or permission errors. Affected systems: Simovative, course management (Kursverwaltung), virtual classroom integrations.

Solution

The issue was caused by a temporary outage/difficulty in the third‑party Simovative service. Once the Simovative provider restored their service, the lecture‑plan display and virtual‑classroom access returned to normal and participant lists became accessible again. The incident was closed after verification that course-management views were functioning.

259. Login failures resolved by removing a corrupted/stale stored password entry
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

User login attempts to MyCampus failed despite using the correct password; prior successful logins existed and external auth systems were reachable. Symptoms included immediate login failure with no clear error; underlying logs later showed a successful login on a previous day. A stored/managed password credential entry appeared to be associated with the account at the time of failure.

Solution

Support removed the affected account's stored password entry/credential from the authentication store. After the stored credential was deleted, the user was able to sign in to MyCampus successfully. Event logs confirmed previous successful authentication and successful login after the credential removal.

260. Video Gallery / MyGallery uploads failing and drafts disappearing (Kaltura / Bongo)
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users could not upload new media to the MyCampus Video Gallery/MyGallery (Kaltura-backed) or save persistent correction drafts in assessment-tool workflows (Bongo). Symptoms included uploads repeatedly failing or being blocked (suspected file-size or platform limits) and saved drafts vanishing on next access. Issue affected course owners across browsers and was reported for LIBF and general MyCampus video areas.

Solution

Support confirmed the symptoms, requested screenshots and file links from the requester, and escalated the incidents to the specialist tool teams rather than applying local fixes. For Kaltura-backed upload failures the report and file links were forwarded to Kaltura support and the user was advised to contact kaltura@iu.org for specialist investigation (support noted a likely file-size/hosting limitation). For disappearing correction drafts and other assessment-tool media issues the ticket was forwarded to the assessment-tool operations team and the user was given the dedicated mailbox assessment-tool-operation@iu.org and instructed to involve the exam/assessment office. No platform-level remediation was recorded in the support tickets; ownership was handed to the specialist teams for further troubleshooting.

261. Missing audio tracks in course script content
75% confidence
Problem Pattern

Learners reported that parts of a course script lacked accompanying audio; certain sections of the course material had no audio playback while other sections were normal. The issue was observed for a specific module (DLMAIAI01_D) and reported without error codes.

Solution

Support validated the report as a content/media-production issue and forwarded the request to the Media Production team for content-level investigation and remediation. The support ticket recorded the handoff and advised the requester to contact Media Production directly; no technical platform changes or fixes were applied by the MyCampus front-line team in the ticket.

262. SSO/session authentication loops and unexpected redirects blocking MyCampus modules
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users experienced repeated sign-in prompts, session timeouts or unexpected redirects that prevented access to specific MyCampus modules (lecture schedules, attendance capture, Library/EBSCO). Symptoms included a sign-in loop when opening the lecture schedule, being redirected from the attendance capture link back to the dashboard, and repeated logouts when accessing Library services or the Learn app.

Solution

Specialist authentication engineers investigated the SSO/session handling for the affected modules and corrected the underlying session/authentication fault. After the fix the repeated sign‑in prompts and unexpected redirects stopped, user sessions persisted correctly and affected features (lecture schedules, attendance capture, and Library access) were reachable again. The incident was tracked and confirmed closed after users verified restored access.

263. Missing or partially-mapped CARE timetable entries in myCampus (CARE → myCampus sync/mapping defects)
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

Scheduled course sessions published in CARE were missing or incompletely transferred into myCampus timetables: entire months of appointments were absent or only a subset of dates appeared, students saw empty timetables despite enrollment, and attendance records existed without corresponding schedule entries in myCampus.

Solution

Support opened developer investigations and created escalation tickets to examine the CARE→myCampus import and mapping pipeline. Engineers logged the affected cases for developer analysis and SIM tracking so that the timetable import routines and mapping logic could be reviewed for missing appointment transfers. Affected examples were captured and handed to developers for corrective work; remediation required code-side fixes to the CARE→myCampus sync rather than user-side changes.

264. Pathway / Community misassignment causing wrong exam-registration UI and bookings
75% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students saw incorrect exam registration information and were unable to sign up for the correct exams because the registration UI displayed content for a different programme/community (e.g., FS content shown to CS students), and bookings were recorded on wrong dates or study-centre entries.

Solution

Investigators identified a misconfiguration where the Pathwayer component had been assigned to the wrong community, which caused the registration iframe/UI to surface another programme's content. The community/pathway assignment was corrected so the registration UI reflected the intended study programme; after the re-assignment students could see the correct exam phase details and register for the appropriate CS exams. The issue was tracked with the MyCampus/Communities teams for verification.

265. Course Feed enrollment and booking errors caused by profile/email/account mapping and backend records
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

Course Feed enroll/booking operations failed, were applied to the wrong account, or the enroll/un-enrol controls in the Course Feed were non-responsive. Symptoms included students being unable to sign up or un-enrol in the course view (MyCampus 2.0 new course view), enroll/"to Course Feed" buttons showing no UI reaction even after clearing browser cache, bookings posted to unexpected or inactive MyCampus accounts/domains, and cases where impersonation allowed enrollment while the user's own view remained inactive. Underlying indicators included incorrect profile/IU-Mailadresse entries, duplicate accounts, or backend account-mapping inconsistencies in Salesforce.

Solution

Support resolved these incidents by applying targeted account- and backend-level fixes. Affected user accounts had Course Feed access manually linked or restored and incorrect profile email (IU-Mailadresse) entries corrected; where duplicate accounts existed they were consolidated or corrected. For bookings that had been posted to the wrong MyCampus account, investigators identified incorrect backend mappings in Salesforce and corrected those records so subsequent Course Feed bookings targeted the proper account. In cases where the MyCampus 2.0 new course view showed a non-responsive enroll/un-enrol button for a user while the same action succeeded under admin impersonation, investigators treated that as an account-level access/mapping inconsistency and restored the user's Course Feed access via the same manual-linking and backend corrections. Each incident was closed after successful enrollments were confirmed for the affected user.

266. Unable to add instructor to term-series due to site/location permission mismatch
85% confidence
Problem Pattern

When creating a course term series the 'Dozierende' (instructor) field remained empty and could not be populated for the whole series; instructors could only be added after creating or editing individual appointments. The behaviour occurred across multiple courses and locations.

Solution

Support investigated and confirmed the term series had been created for a site/location where the instructor did not hold an assignment or permission, which prevented the instructor from being selectable at series-level. The condition was resolved by creating the term series on a site where the instructor had permission or by assigning the instructor to the site so they could be added to the series; as a workaround instructors were added to individual appointments until the site-permission alignment was corrected.

267. MyCampus interface language resetting to English due to browser locale settings
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

User-selected MyCampus profile language reverted to English after login despite being set to German in the profile; interface returned to English on subsequent sessions with no error displayed.

Solution

Support confirmed that MyCampus derives its interface language from the browser's language/Accept-Language header. After the user's browser language preference was set to German (Deutsch) and the browser was restarted, the MyCampus interface consistently displayed German; the profile language setting remained aligned with the browser locale.

268. Blank/empty document output from MyCampus Document Generator (ToR / DokGen)
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

MyCampus Document Generator produced blank or empty pages when rendering student documents (for example KS ToR and 'ToR DS Deutsch'). Users saw a blank ToR view or corrupted/blank printed copies; client-side troubleshooting (cache clear, browser change, plugins disabled) did not restore content.

Solution

The issue was resolved by the specialist Document-Generator (DokGen) team: the DokGen service was restored and document generation/printing returned to normal. Affected KS ToR printing was confirmed working after the Fachteam intervention. Client-side actions did not fix the problem; recovery required the specialist-side service restoration.

269. GPA / ECTS discrepancies between EPOS/myCampus and CARE/ToR
40% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students reported inconsistencies between myCampus/EPOS displays and the authoritative CARE/Transcript of Records (ToR): differing GPA values for the same student, missing grades or ECTS in EPOS, unexpected rounding differences on the ToR, and instances where failed modules were incorrectly listed on the ToR although it should show only passed modules. Affected systems included myCampus/EPOS, CARE/ToR and student-portal integrations (Simovative/Studi). No explicit error codes were reported.

Solution

Investigations found multiple root contributors rather than a single bug. Differences in EPOS display and calculation logic versus the authoritative CARE/ToR records, timing/synchronization of data flows between systems, and rounding logic explained many GPA/ECTS mismatches. Separately, at least one case was documented where a failed module (module “Digital Future Commerce” for student Amine Bouzrouri, Academy ID 10354304) appeared on the ToR despite the ToR policy to show only passed modules; reproduction attempts were performed but the issue was not consistently reproducible. Affected tickets captured the diagnoses and were escalated/flagged to PIM/Exam-office teams and the Simovative/Studi integration owners for deeper analysis. No final technical remediation or closure action was recorded in the ticket history.

270. Missing OneDrive storage option in MyCampus due to local workstation/OneDrive client state
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

OneDrive was not available as a storage/upload location option in the MyCampus file picker after the user switched to a new workstation, preventing uploads. No error messages were displayed.

Solution

The user restarted the workstation multiple times; after the reboots the OneDrive storage location reappeared in the MyCampus UI and file uploads worked again. The ticket was closed after the local restart restored the OneDrive integration.

271. University Calendar/menu entry missing until user changed selected unit
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

The 'University Calendar' menu item was missing from a user's MyCampus menu and their scheduled course was inaccessible; the calendar/menu entry disappeared from the interface without error messages.

Solution

The user changed the selected unit in their MyCampus interface; the University Calendar menu entry reappeared and access to the scheduled course was restored. The unit-selection change resolved the issue and the user confirmed access was regained.

272. MyCampus access blocked by CARE status 'Exmatrikuliert' on a staff/lecturer account
50% confidence
Problem Pattern

A staff/lecturer account could not access MyCampus or was presented as a student/test account. The account had CARE status set to 'Exmatrikuliert' and no active student booking; the user also lacked expected staff/MedProd rights.

Solution

Support diagnosed the root cause as the account's CARE record showing 'Exmatrikuliert' and the absence of staff privileges; this diagnosis was recorded in the ticket. No final technical remediation steps or confirmation of restored access were documented in the ticket record.

273. Merged staff+student account produced student MyCampus 2.0 layout and blocked classic staff features
55% confidence
Problem Pattern

An employee account that had also been assigned a Student role (merged/duplicate mapping) was presented with the MyCampus 2.0 student/FS layout instead of the classic staff/instructor view. Symptoms included inability to access classic features (user list, script reports), login working only via email not username, and EPOS repeatedly re-applying the Student assignment during automatic sync. Affected systems: myCampus Classic, MyCampus 2.0, EPOS and CARE account/profile mapping.

Solution

Investigators traced the issue to a merged/dual-role account where the Student assignment persisted in EPOS and was re-synced into CARE/MyCampus, causing the UI to surface the 2.0 student layout for that account. The ticket documented the identification of the role-conflict and the EPOS re-sync behaviour but did not contain a completed remediation; no final fix was implemented in the ticket. The documented outcome noted that corrective action required separating the staff and student role assignments in the authoritative profile systems (EPOS/CARE) and stopping the automatic re-application of the Student assignment so the account would present the classic staff view.

274. MyCampus / Moodle access blocked because course or exam assignments were missing
75% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users were unable to access myCampus (Moodle) features required for course corrections or grading even though their accounts appeared normal. No authentication errors were present; the account lacked course/exam role assignments that control Moodle/myCampus access. Affected systems: myCampus (Moodle), account provisioning and the course/exam assignment service.

Solution

Support investigated the account and found no account-level abnormalities; access restrictions were attributable to missing course/exam assignments rather than an authentication or provisioning defect. The ticket recorded that IT referred the user to the Lecturer & Course Coordination (course/exam assignment owners) because assignment records control Moodle access. The ticket did not include in-ticket confirmation of restored access but documented that adding the appropriate course/exam assignments by the responsible coordination team was the required corrective action.

275. MyCampus iOS app blank/white screens after update (app v1.4 / bundle 2.35.1)
65% confidence
Problem Pattern

After a MyCampus mobile app update (reported app versions 1.4/1.4.1, Bundle-Version 2.35.1) iOS devices (multiple iPhone and iPad models, various iOS releases) showed white or blank screens for all app pages except the dashboard. Reinstalling the app and device restarts often did not resolve the rendering failure. No explicit error codes were produced; the symptom was UI content failing to render on iOS devices.

Solution

Support reproduced or collected multiple reports showing the issue was tied to the iOS MyCampus app build (v1.4 / 1.4.1, bundle 2.35.1) where most views rendered as white screens while the dashboard remained visible; common device/OS combinations and troubleshooting attempts (reinstall, restart) were recorded. The ticket documented reproduction details and escalation/triage notes but did not contain a permanent in-ticket fix; the incident remained to be addressed by the app/module owners (Syntea / MyCampus app team) in a subsequent app update.

276. Course missing from Competency App due to PMS/PMS‑Course table sync and staffing/status flags
70% confidence
Problem Pattern

A course was absent from the Competency App 'All Courses' view and could not be found by degree-program or course search. The course record was missing from the PMS-Course table. Potential contributing factors reported included a 'Dummy Staffing Required (in planning)' flag, course status values such as 'In Bearbeitung' being filtered, absent planning-group assignments, and a non-daily PMS-to-app sync cadence (~twice weekly). Affected systems: Competency App (Power Apps), PMS/course management, myCampus.

Solution

Investigators confirmed the course lacked a PMS-Course table entry and noted that visibility in the Competency App was controlled by PMS feed content and status/flag filtering; the ticket recorded that courses flagged 'Dummy Staffing Required' or with certain workflow statuses and missing planning-group assignments were excluded from app views and that the PMS→app sync did not run daily. The ticket documented these root-cause observations and recommended that the authoritative PMS record and staffing/status flags be corrected so the course would appear after the next scheduled sync; no in-ticket confirmation of restored visibility was provided.

277. Name mismatch between MyCampus and Turnitin causing wrong submission names and Feedback Studio metadata
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

Student display name in MyCampus differed from the name recorded on the student's Turnitin account; after the MyCampus name was corrected, Turnitin continued to show the old name in uploaded filenames and in Turnitin Feedback Studio, triggering an Examination Office plagiarism flag.

Solution

The student name in MyCampus was corrected to match CARE/EPOS. It was noted that Turnitin continued to use the old name because the Turnitin account and submitted-file metadata were created under that previous name; this meant uploaded filenames and Feedback Studio metadata retained the old value. The incident was therefore resolved in MyCampus by correcting the profile name, and Turnitin-side account metadata required separate handling by Turnitin/assessment support or the Examination Office to remove the legacy name from submissions and Feedback Studio records.

278. Missing hosted audio assets (HTTP 404) prevented course audio playback
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

Course audio player failed to load MP3 resources; browser console showed HTTP 404 Not Found for MP3 assets hosted on idss-assets. Students could not play course audio in MyCampus.

Solution

The issue was escalated to the asset-hosting specialist team. The hosting/asset record on idss-assets was restored or routing corrected by the specialist team (noted as fixed on 2024-07-25), and the reporter subsequently confirmed audio playback worked. No additional technical remediation steps were documented in the ticket.

279. Conflicting matriculation numbers displayed across MyCampus, Study‑ID, CARE and EPOS
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students reported inconsistent matriculation numbers (MNR) between MyCampus/Study‑ID displays and authoritative systems (CARE, EPOS, immatriculation documents or physical student ID); differences ranged from format mismatches to single‑digit discrepancies.

Solution

Affected records were corrected by service/Edutech teams and the authoritative values were re-synchronized so the Study‑ID/MyCampus display matched the Immatriculation/EPOS records. Tickets were closed after the Student‑ID/Study‑ID display was updated; one ticket was explicitly marked Done by a specialist. Where manual CARE edits were attempted and reverted, the final fix required aligning the authoritative EPOS/Immatriculation value with the Student‑ID service and re-publishing/syncing the record so MyCampus reflected the corrected MNR.

280. Missing application/form link in a Community's Antragsverwaltung (form must be embedded by owner)
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

A Community's Application Management (Antragsverwaltung) tile did not include the 'Application for compensation for disadvantages' and the 'Extended application for accommodation of disadvantages' forms, preventing users from finding or submitting those applications.

Solution

Support confirmed this was an absent embedded form rather than a platform malfunction. The platform team advised that the Examination Office or Student Office (the form owners) must embed the specific application into the Community's Antragsverwaltung. No platform-side technical changes were made; guidance was provided to the responsible office and the ticket was closed pending them embedding the form.

281. Mandatory training shows green ticks but course not marked completed / missing acknowledgements
88% confidence
Problem Pattern

User completed all modules in an LMS mandatory course (green checkmarks) but the course was not marked completed and no 'courses to confirm' / acknowledgement prompt appeared. The missing acknowledgement prevented progression in a training program (blocking subsequent courses or enrollment) and was reported for time-limited courses where users could not advance on their own. No platform error codes or browser/authentication issues were reported; symptoms pointed to a course-level confirmation/acknowledgement workflow problem.

Solution

Support determined the issue was not a platform or authentication error but a course authoring / acknowledgement workflow matter owned by the course content owners (People & Projects or the course administrator). Users were referred to people-projects@iu.org or the course administrator so the content owners could verify and, if needed, adjust course-level completion or acknowledgement configuration (for example, missing confirmation items or content-managed completion rules) or manually confirm enrollment/completion for time-limited trainings. IT did not change acknowledgement or enrollment settings; tickets were closed after referral to the content owners.

282. Backoffice download of enrollment (Immatrikulation) certificates for students on leave
82% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students on leave (beurlaubt) could not self-download Immatrikulation (enrolment) certificates because they had no MyCampus access; backoffice staff also reported they could not retrieve those Imma documents for affected students when attempting to download via staff tools.

Solution

Support tested the backoffice download path using provided example students and confirmed that employee/backoffice download functionality was working: the Imma certificates were retrievable by staff accounts. The case was progressed in collaboration with the backoffice contacts (Isabell, Artur and colleagues) and test examples were used to validate the working download flow for staff. The ticket recorded that the backoffice download capability was verified operational for the supplied examples.

283. Application install via MyCampus / Company Portal failed (PSPP installer GUID error and disappearance after reboot)
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

User attempted to install PSPP via the MyCampus / Company Portal on a new PC; the installer ran for hours then returned a GUID-style error (c215a813-8cfd-47f0-a758-c8e25029b90b) and the application disappeared after reboot. The install was time-sensitive for teaching and no progress logs or successful installs were present on the endpoint.

Solution

Support did not reproduce a successful install. The only remediation recorded was advisory: users were instructed to install only applications provided through the Company Portal and that installs from unsupported sources were not supported by IT. No further technical remediation or successful workaround was recorded in the ticket before it was closed.

284. Unreliable annotations and highlights in online script reader (shifting, disappearing, freezes)
62% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students' highlights and comments in the MyCampus online script reader were unreliable: highlights shifted or were misplaced after saving or re-login, highlights sometimes disappeared, and highlight/unhighlight mode became unresponsive. Selection/highlighting could fail or be impossible in paragraphs near formulas where non-text glyphs (e.g., Greek letters) were rendered as images/SVGs, and this behavior was intermittent across web and mobile clients. Repeated mark/comment/save operations reproducibly caused the reader to freeze; no error codes were reported.

Solution

Support collected and reviewed student screen recordings and repeated reproduction attempts across web and mobile clients to characterise failures. Investigators reproduced the reader becoming unresponsive by repeatedly using the mark/comment/save workflow and recorded diagnostic evidence of freezing; no error codes were observed. Further inspection of affected content revealed that some formula glyphs (notably Greek letters) were rendered as SVG/image elements in the book reader, which prevented those glyphs from being included in selectable text and caused selection/highlighting to fail or behave unpredictably for lines around the formulas. The issue was reproducible in MyCampus 2.0 book reader, the Learn mobile apps (observed issues on Android v1.4.7 and iOS v1.2), and in multiple browsers including Safari; it also appeared when staff used the pure PDF. No corrective deployment or permanent code fix was implemented in these tickets; the findings and diagnostic artefacts were escalated to content/book-production and app engineering teams for specialist analysis.

285. Grading slider arithmetic discrepancy in MyCampus grade calculation
78% confidence
Problem Pattern

Grading sliders in MyCampus produced an unexpected aggregate score: setting all slider inputs to maximum (10/10) resulted in a final calculated grade of 9.4/10 for a Praxisprojekt assessment. Symptom was a numeric score discrepancy during grade calculation in the MyCampus/Turnitin grading workflow; no error codes were shown and IT Support could not reproduce the arithmetic difference.

Solution

Support attempted reproduction but could not replicate the miscalculation. The issue was escalated to the examinations office (akad-pruefungsamt / zpa-dualesstudium) for domain ownership; IT advised the reporter to supply the specific course code to the examinations team. No software-side correction or patch was applied within the ticket record; ownership was transferred to the examinations office for further investigation of grading-tool behaviour or exam-form configuration.

286. Directory/campus-scoped visibility prevented adding students in Teams and blocked MyCampus course access
45% confidence
Problem Pattern

Microsoft Teams 'add members' failed with 'e-mail addresses were not recognized' and the Add button was disabled when attempting to add students from a specific campus; affected users could also not see course or course materials in MyCampus. The symptom occurred when the requester had visibility limited to different campus/unit scopes (e.g. Köln or nationwide) while the target addresses were for Campus Dortmund. Systems involved: Microsoft Teams, MyCampus, university course-directory/course-management.

Solution

Support recorded no technical remediation; the case was escalated to course management/administration and the user was advised to contact the course management team for campus visibility changes. No further diagnostic or configuration changes were documented in the ticket and no recorded confirmation of a fix exists.

287. Authentication failures when opening MyCampus‑embedded tools (Course Bookings / grade-entry)
50% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users could log into the MyCampus dashboard but were unable to authenticate into embedded tools (Course Bookings / grade-entry) — the tool-specific login prompts rejected otherwise valid MyCampus credentials or displayed 'credentials incorrect'. Failures were observed inside CARE iFrames or Learnapp flows and sometimes accompanied by suspicion of stale/saved access data. Systems involved: MyCampus (CARE iFrame), Course Bookings / Learnapp, grade-entry (Noteneingabe).

Solution

Support investigated and recorded suggested diagnostics (collect full screenshots including URL, check Learnapp saved-access entries) and forwarded cases to the owning subject teams. One ticket auto-closed after no user follow-up; another was escalated to the subject/fach team with a screenshot request. No definitive configuration or code changes resolving the issues were recorded in the ticket records.

288. Early/instant grade publication from TurnItIn to CARE failed due to missing grade/placeholder values
55% confidence
Problem Pattern

Early/instant grade publication from the LMS/TurnItIn to CARE failed to transmit student grades for some courses. Attempts to publish grades early produced either a TurnItIn-originated message indicating a missing grade or sentinel value ('no grade set or no 99 found') or an unspecified error reported by instructors. Normal scheduled grade publication later completed successfully. Failures were intermittent and course-specific (e.g., DLFFGS01). Systems involved: myCampus (LMS), TurnItIn, CARE.

Solution

Support logged the incidents and the error evidence: in some cases TurnItIn returned a message indicating a missing grade or missing sentinel value ('99'), while other reports showed an unspecified error on early publication attempts. Affected students’ grades were not transmitted during early/instant publication attempts, but the regular scheduled publication later transmitted the grade successfully. Tickets and error logs were forwarded to the subject/integration team for investigation. The defect was recorded as a known, intermittent course-specific bug (example: DLFFGS01) and was deprioritized due to limited developer capacity; no technical fix or workaround was applied at the time of the tickets.

289. Intermittent 'Vorzeitige Notenveröffentlichung' permission error for early grade release
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Instructors attempting to publish grades earlier than the scheduled release window saw an access/permission error referencing block/iubh_tutor_grades:viewgrades. Behavior was inconsistent — early release succeeded in some courses but failed with the permission-denied message in others. Normal (on‑schedule) grade publication was reported to work. Affected systems: MyCampus/Moodle block iubh_tutor_grades plugin.

Solution

The report was escalated to the specialist team, who confirmed this was a known intermittent bug in the early-grade-release pathway. Specialists verified that normal (scheduled) grade publication continued to work and that no configuration change or hotfix was available because development resources were not allocated to investigate further. Users were informed of the limitation and advised to continue using the existing (non-early) grade publication workflow. The ticket was closed after specialist acknowledgement.

290. Matriculation without MyCampus credential issuance for study-mode transitions (dual / Fernstudium)
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

Newly matriculated students did not receive MyCampus login credentials or matriculation/enrollment-certificate emails after enrollment. In some cases Salesforce showed successful matriculation but no credential or certificate email was delivered; no technical error codes were recorded. Affected systems included MyCampus, Salesforce, and email delivery.

Solution

Support reviewed tickets and recorded no technical remediation performed. Cases were determined to be outside IT self‑service scope and were routed to the central Student Support / registration team responsible for issuing MyCampus credentials and matriculation/enrollment certificates. In at least one ticket the support agent supplied the Student Support contact address (techsupport@iu.org). Tickets were closed after referral; there was no recorded confirmation in these tickets that credentials or certificates were reissued or that email-delivery failures were resolved.

291. IU Learn mobile app (LearnApp) content unavailable due to decommission/maintenance
95% confidence
Problem Pattern

Multiple users could not access course content in the IU Learn mobile app or via the app's browser view; attempts returned an error message and content was unavailable. The incident affected the LearnApp front‑end while myCampus 2.0 was reported as the target for migrated functionality.

Solution

The incident was triaged to the product specialist team, who confirmed the LearnApp was in maintenance/decommission evaluation and only critical operational issues were being addressed. Specialists reported that most LearnApp features had already been migrated to myCampus 2.0, that there was limited support or a planned restoration ETA for the legacy app, and that users should use myCampus 2.0 for course access. No technical fix was applied to the LearnApp; the ticket was closed after specialist notification.

292. Practice-report (Praxisbericht) submission unresponsive on user device, unreproducible by support
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

A student reported that clicking open weekdays in the practice-report submission UI did not open the input form on mobile and desktop. No explicit error code was shown in the UI; behaviour could not be reproduced by support. Multiple attempts and a provided screencast did not reveal consistent failure conditions.

Solution

Support attempted to reproduce the problem but was unable to observe the reported behaviour. Troubleshooting guidance (clear browser cache and cookies, try a different browser, test on desktop if issue occurred on mobile) was communicated to the student, but no server-side or application configuration changes were recorded. The ticket was closed after these recommendations and with no definitive root-cause identified in logs or by support.

293. Academic title missing in myCampus profile despite CARE/EPOS data
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

Academic title (e.g., 'Prof.') present in Care/EPOS did not appear in the user's myCampus profile; related calendar/Teams/Outlook behaviour inconsistent for appointments created by myCampus versus user-created meetings.

Solution

The missing title in external Microsoft contexts was resolved by adding the academic title to the user's Microsoft account; the user confirmed the Microsoft-side change fixed the visible title there. The myCampus-side display of the title remained subject to a specialist investigation: support escalated the Care→myCampus/Epos→myCampus synchronization pathway to the expert team to verify mapping and propagation of title fields from Care/Epos into the myCampus profile.

294. myCampus login blocked by EPOS↔CARE account disconnect
55% confidence
Problem Pattern

User login failed because EPOS logs showed the account was no longer connected to CARE even though the CARE account appeared normal; support-triggered password reset was requested but no access was restored.

Solution

Support review of EPOS logs established that the user's EPOS record had been disconnected from the corresponding CARE identity. The case was escalated to the specialist (Fachteam) for re-linking of the EPOS↔CARE association so that myCampus authentication would succeed; no automated password-reset or re-linking action was recorded in the ticket before it was closed by automation.

295. Transcript of Records 'only passed' export included failed attempts (report-generation layer)
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

Student exported a Transcript of Records from myCampus using the 'only passed exam results' option, but the generated TOR still listed failed attempts while CARE-produced TORs were correct.

Solution

Support compared myCampus-generated and CARE-generated TORs and confirmed CARE held the correct data. Investigation indicated the discrepancy lay in the report-generation/EPOS layer rather than the source CARE records; the incident was escalated to the Kronos/Hyperion (report-builder) team for remediation and further diagnostics of the report template/EPOS export pipeline.

296. Course-level grades missing from myCampus grade overview while CARE contains course entries
55% confidence
Problem Pattern

Student grade overview displayed only the module-level grade; individual course-level grades present in CARE were not shown in myCampus, causing missing per-course grade visibility.

Solution

Support verified CARE contained the expected course-level grade records and suspected a mapping/assignment issue in the feed that supplies myCampus grade overviews. The case was forwarded to the specialist team responsible for the CARE→myCampus grade feed for investigation of mapping rules and publication flags; no in-ticket corrective action was recorded prior to escalation.

297. Inconsistent or incorrect myCampus UI (wrong view or missing menus) persisting after cache clear
50% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users reported an unexpected myCampus UI (e.g., grey myCampus 2.0-like view when Classic was expected) or missing menu/options compared with expected screenshots; the issue persisted across logins and did not consistently reproduce for other staff.

Solution

Support performed basic diagnostics (login confirmation, reproduction attempts by colleagues) and advised browser cache/cookie clearing as an initial remedial step. Where the problem persisted, cases were documented and passed to the specialist team for deeper investigation of account-specific view selection, account-mapping (multiple accounts/merged profiles), and front-end view-serve logic; no single root-cause or final fix was recorded in the tickets.

298. Student-facing MyCampus UI elements not responding or missing
75% confidence
Problem Pattern

Students reported non-functional UI elements in MyCampus: the top-right 'Student ID' button did not open the expected ID view, embedded Teams group links in the 'Student's communication' area produced no action, and the Document Generator (Dok. Gen) sometimes showed no selectable documents. Problems were reported across browsers and could not always be reproduced by support. No consistent error codes were present and tickets show the issues originating from the MyCampus front-end/UI layer.

Solution

Each case was investigated and ownership was transferred to the relevant product/stakeholder teams. Where stakeholders confirmed a fix, the broken link embedding or Student ID functionality was restored by the owning team; in other cases support could not reproduce the problem in the Community environment and therefore escalated the report to specialists for deeper investigation. Users were advised to contact techsupport@iu.org when immediate help was required and cases were closed after stakeholder confirmation or after a specialist handoff.

299. Course timetable or schedule entries missing in MyCampus after CARE booking (Simovative sync)
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

A student booked to a planning group in CARE did not see the corresponding course schedule/lecture-series appointments appear in their MyCampus timetable. The booking record existed in CARE but the course and dates were absent from the MyCampus Course Schedule view. No explicit error codes were shown; the symptom pointed to a synchronization or planning-group mapping issue between CARE/Simovative and MyCampus.

Solution

The case was escalated to the specialist team and ownership was assigned to the Simovative/lecture-planning service responsible for planning-group synchronisation. Support forwarded the CARE booking details and course/planungsgruppe identifiers to Simovative for investigation so the missing timetable entries could be restored by the responsible team.

300. Service-wide myCampus authentication outage restored by backend fix
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Multiple employees experienced failed logins to the myCampus portal and received generic error messages during sign-in. The issue affected users across locations and prevented normal access to the portal; no single user-specific misconfiguration explained the impact.

Solution

Support acknowledged the incident, investigated the authentication failures and applied a backend remedial change to the login/authentication service. After the fix was applied users confirmed they could sign in again and the incident was closed once access was restored.

301. Third-party/library tool opened empty window when launched from MyCampus (Tivian/EFS Survey)
70% confidence
Problem Pattern

When users launched the Tivian/EFS Survey link from MyCampus (Library → Tools) the survey opened an empty window with no content for some accounts while other users could access it normally. The symptom occurred across different browsers and affected only specific users.

Solution

Support determined that Tivian/EFS Survey access and permissions were managed by the Library and Information Services team and redirected the affected users to contact library@iu.org for Tivian-specific access investigation and resolution. The support team closed the MyCampus-side ticket after handing off ownership to the Library.

302. Persistent previous‑semester participants in course rosters (removal not currently supported)
80% confidence
Problem Pattern

Instructors reported course participant lists containing students from a previous semester (outdated enrollments remain visible in MyCampus course roster). No error messages appeared; instructors requested removal of prior‑term participants from current course lists.

Solution

The specialist team reviewed the request and confirmed that automated removal of previous‑semester participants from the course roster was not implemented at that time due to limited developer capacity. The request was recorded as input for future development work; no roster changes were made and the ticket was closed without code or configuration changes.

303. Courses missing from Noteneingabesystem blocked grade uploads
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

Grades could not be entered because specific courses (BE II Freiburg and BE II Nürnberg, Summer 2024) were absent from the grade‑entry system (Noteneingabesystem); MyCampus reflected the same missing course entries, preventing upload of grades.

Solution

Support escalated and forwarded the missing‑course records to the specialist team for investigation. No technical remediation or update to the Noteneingabesystem was documented in the ticket; the case was closed after escalation without a recorded fix or follow‑up response to the requester.

304. MyCampus service outage — portal restored by IT support
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

Users reported that the MyCampus web portal was unreachable and could not be accessed; the service outage affected multiple users and prevented normal portal usage.

Solution

IT support intervened and restored the MyCampus service. After the support action the portal became reachable and a user confirmed that access was working again; no additional technical details were recorded in the ticket.

305. Course materials swapping between different courses when switching planning-groups
50% confidence
Problem Pattern

Instructors and students saw files from a different course appear in a course's file area when selecting or switching planning-groups in the MyCampus UI; files reappeared or were replaced after delete/re-upload and different incorrect course materials could surface depending on group selection. Affected systems: MyCampus file manager and CARE course/group mapping. No explicit error codes were shown and developers initially reported no detectable bug.

Solution

Support investigated the course/group mapping and reproduced the behaviour where group-selection changed which course's folder contents were shown. Developers reviewed the UI and backend mappings and did not find a reproducible code defect during initial analysis. Support advised the instructor on how to remove/re-upload files and escalated the case for further developer investigation into CARE→MyCampus group-to-folder mapping; no definitive platform-side code fix was recorded in the ticket. The case remained under specialist review when support provided a temporary instructor-side workaround (re-uploading files and verifying group selection) and logged the mapping anomaly for developer follow-up.

306. Instructors unable to open module participant/attendee lists (intermittent, unreproducible)
60% confidence
Problem Pattern

Multiple instructors reported that module participant/attendee lists would not open in MyCampus; the issue affected various current and upcoming modules and produced no consistent error message. Support could not always reproduce the problem and reports varied between users and courses.

Solution

Support collected example accounts, course codes and screenshots and escalated the reports to the MyCampus specialist team for deeper investigation. Initial troubleshooting by support (account checks and reproduction attempts) did not show a systemic platform error; support requested detailed reproduction steps and evidence from affected instructors so the specialist team could analyse backend logs and permission mappings. The ticket recorded escalation and information-gathering actions but no single corrective change was applied in the ticket.

307. Departmental (second) account required to access campus‑scoped enrolment/FAQ documents
90% confidence
Problem Pattern

A user with only a personal MyCampus account could not access FAQ PDF files on a Praxisprojekte enrolment page; colleagues could access them because they had an additional departmental (Abteilung) account. Access was denied to the enrolment page's PDF resources when the user lacked the campus/department-scoped account.

Solution

Support determined that access to those departmental FAQ PDFs required a second, department-scoped MyCampus account. No platform bug was identified; instead the resolution path was administrative: support requested a reference username and confirmation from the requester and advised that the departmental account needed to be provisioned so the user would inherit the department-level visibility. The ticket recorded this requirement and awaited provisioning details; no functional code change was applied in the ticket itself.
