Story reprinted from July 9 issue of The Daily Tar Heel.The Department of Public Safety began a new online first-come, first-serve parking pass system for students last week. It resulted in a system crash.Although an alternate system ran smoothly for the rest of registration, many are still affected by the original problems.“We’ll use the system when our IT managers feel confident again,” Stout said about the faulty program.On July 1, when professional and graduate students went to apply online for on-campus parking, they received an error message at the end of their transaction. Their requests had not been completed, even though their credit or debit cards were already charged.After hearing about the issues, DPS reset the system to try again at 1 p.m. When the same problems persisted, DPS decided to use a different software. Third-year law student Satish Chintapalli said he applied for parking multiple times and received an error message after every attempt.Another third-year law student, Crystal Russ, said she took off work on July 1 so she could apply for her parking permit.When Russ tried at 1 p.m., she waited for more than 15 minutes, was charged on her credit card and was told she had an invalid shipping method.Russ also said one of her friends tried to register multiple times and was charged more than $300 on her credit card.After the two original attempts to launch the new software, DPS officials switched to different software which did not bill people over the Internet and restarted the registration program, said Randy Young, spokesman for the Department of Public Safety.The Assistant Director for Parking Services, Cheryl Stout, said that DPS officials decided to switch to their internal registration system, which is a different site where students can register, but that nothing is visibly different to the customer.Chintapalli said the new system was confusing because it is not supported by any Web browser except Internet Explorer.Young said the system, “has been running smoothly and is ongoing,” since the switch.In addition, all invalid charges on students’ debit or credit cards were reversed immediately, Stout said.“I don’t think anyone expected the problems,” she added. “They didn’t encounter them in testing. The system intends to improve things for students. We’re sincerely apologetic for any problems.”She added that DPS officials are working to fix the internal error that created a software problem.DPS heard from many of the students who initially experienced the problems but has tried to apologize and work to fix the issues as much as they can, Stout said.“I think the law and medical students kind of thought we were the guinea pigs for the undergraduate students who registered the next day,” Russ said.“I think fundamentally the system is fairer, but they had a lot of kinks they needed to work out in the end.”
