Items of Business:
ASI Resolution Regarding Self-Service Degree Audit
- The resolution will be sent out to AAC via email for comment.
One Page Student Profile
- The current work-up of the one page student profile was presented at the SA Open Forum on March 9. In the opinion of many advisors who saw the presentation, the profile resolved many of the issues AAC was concerned about. All of the items on AAC’s list of requests for the profile were either included or planned to be included.
- AAC will receive a preview of the final product at the April 12 meeting.
- A formal thank you to the CMS team will be considered after the profile is released.
Booth at Open House Resource Fair
- The new Lucy Booth was purchased and will arrive April 1.
- Katie volunteered to set up the booth and run it at the Open House Resource Fair. AAC is happy to have her do that.
Parent Program
- The Parent Program wants someone to make a 45 minute presentation to the Parent Advisory Council about how students get advising on campus. Bonnie will do it if her schedule allows. Susan will do it.
President’s Report on Retention and Recruitment of First Generation Students
- Susan Sparling was involved in the creation of the report and gave a short summary of the history of the report and of other related efforts in the past. AAC does not have to respond to the report unless asked. The current funding for this effort is small, so if AAC does respond, she recommends saying what is suggested in the report and more needs to happen.
- AAC discussed whether it wanted to reply and decided it did. Susan and Kris will write a letter of support.
Summary of Kris & Matt’s Conversation with the Provost
- The Provost wants to convene a task force to study advising problems on campus.
- AAC supports updating the 1999 Ad Hoc Student Advising Task Force Report itself in its role as an extension of the Provost, thus saving time.
Graduation Status
- Helen showed AAC how to check graduation status in PeopleSoft. The effective date is the date is tied to the degree checkout status. It shows the date the process listed under degree checkout status started. If the degree checkout status is pending, the effective date will list the date the request was received in the office. Degree checkout status will be blank if no request has been received.
