The biggest difference between the network of dormitories and the teaching network is that it has a long window. When summer holidays are combined for four months, students have been walking almost as quietly as possible in the building. But if the campus system of WiFi continues to function along the logic of the school term, this will become increasingly unclear: what kind of month is a person in the field?
Let's see if there's anyone else on the holiday.
Not in general."I'm on vacation."In reality, the students who stay in school are usually the research parties, graduate students who do experiments, undergraduates who compete with competitions, and they're the most dependent group of Internet users. There are also a large number of students who bring computers home, people out of town but still have accounts. So the first thing about holiday accounting is to put them on the back."Retention Users"and"Leaving school but keeping account number"One must feel unfair when the two categories are separated, using the same set of rules for all. This distinction is better marked in account attributes than by artificial ad hoc judgements.
Main practice I: holidays automatically go down or are free
Many schools choose to use the holidays directly, and spread their costs throughout the budget. The reason is that the function of the dormitories WiFi is not to be profitable, it would be less expensive, and it would have a parent problem with taking it.
Mainstream II: monthly suspension, pre-school self-help operations
Another idea is to give the student the initiative. The system is open before vacation."Pause"The entrance, the student determines that leaving is just at the front end of the school, and that it will be free to pay for the period; it will be restored before returning. This is appropriate for schools that want to be strictly accounted for by their use. The difficulty is that students forget so easily that they are held up for a holiday."I forgot a little."Changed"Deducted fees". The pause looks simple and the details are not easy to do, but rather adds to the confusion.
The cost of the stay-at-school user cannot suddenly become strict.
There is a pit where it can be easily stepped: when the holiday building has fewer people and schools feel looser, they quietly release or over-restricted the limit on those who stay in school. As a result, the first penalty for this group of persons is imposed upon them as soon as the rules are restored.
The holidays are a good time to put together accounts for the life cycle.
In addition to the accounts, summer holidays are a gold window for account management. The graduation class leaves early, and accounts can be frozen in bulk; the most complete period of time is school leave, drop-out, and transfer lists. It's easier to keep pace with them. People who do not move their accounts so much that they can't get hurt.
The rules are written into the needs. Don't wait until the end of the year.
Leaves are also the window for system maintenance and data backup.
The accommodations are small, and the time is right to maintain the system. You can arrange a full-scale backup, run a clean-up of the terminal exercise, clean up the logs and upgrade the little patch that has been long overdue."Maintenance season"Not."Space"The system will be in a rather large state at the start of school and with less stress.
The caliber of the vacation accounts. Better get it in the student's profile.
Whether you choose to save, reduce or suspend it, the matter must be known in advance, not in a notice at the end of the term. It is recommended that the leave accounting policy be clearly defined in the information about admission and the reminder before each vacation: what price, how to operate, or forget what happens."I didn't even know I had to charge."The communication costs of the accounting policy are much lower than those for complaints processing."Internal financial rules"Changed"The agreement that the students can understand."It's a smooth summer.
Finally, the summer vacation accounts must be written in the solicitation requirements, not on the line."What about the holidays?"The information is not working."This is gonna cost more to develop."The three parties are all embarrassed. Can the campus residence WiFi billing system smooth over vacations, see if it's been figured out in the demand phase, not when the system is online.
