HelioCampus AC retrieves data from UW-Madison's Student Information System (SIS). Different data is updated at different times. Below is a list of several data updates, the timing and frequency, and which data elements are processed. For more information, please see the Guide to Timing and Impact of Batch Processes from HelioCampus AC. 

Aggregate Process Batch

Runs at 7:00am and 7:00pm. This updates the course evaluation response rates during peak times.

Event Handler Batch

Runs every hour (on the half-hour). This batch updates the statuses, populates surveys with course assignments, etc. For example, a course that is not showing because it is Faculty Pending. When you publish this course, it may take an hour for it to appear to assign.
