Last month we introduced the new UCPath Salary Cost Transfer pages that will be going live in November, and that will ultimately replace the Direct Retro pages. Training dates and details will be communicated out to Direct Retro transactors in a future communication. In the meantime, as we approach the go-live date, we aim to provide more information on the features of the new pages to give you a better understanding of what to expect.

We wanted to inform you that there have been delays in the updates of Lived Names from UCPath to Berkeley over the weekend. As a result, it may take a few days for your name data from UCPath to be displayed accurately in the campus directory or in campus applications like bMail.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this process. Our teams are working closely with UCPath Center to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
