Old Business Timetable / Peoplesoft |
Dana Vaughan |
Time table is in an Excel data base but it is not updated like it is on Titan Web Departments may contact Marilyn Anderson for instructions on filtering to only get the areas they want Questions to Council: “Where do we think our complaint stands in reference to Titan Web/People Soft and are we satisfied?” The Excel spreadsheet of the timetable is a good response to the concerns raised by the council. This spreadsheet coupled with the on line “how to” documentation and additional in service training for PA’s and Faculty/Staff interested in using Excel tools (filters) should be useful in the advising process. Some of our students may also find access to the information helpful and we suggest the spreadsheet be made available to the students too. |
Dana will do a draft and forward to council for response then on to John Berens and Dr Miller |

Old Business Total Intake Model |
Lynn Freeman |
Total Intake Model: Discussion continued Accomplished so far: Definition for Advising; Time Table Discussion: Tom Fojtik: well rounded; Robert Urofsky: very little in pact in his department but has no objections. Continued concern that students be referred to faculty upon declaring the major, regardless of degree progress. It has been decided to postpone endorsement until December meeting for the Total Intake Model until additional members are present at meeting Benefits of endorsing the Total Intake Model: Goes on record and allows other offices and the UARC to process and make changes and define roles of students, faculty advisor & professional advisor. Students can still use both academic advisor and faculty advisor if they choose to. Concern of endorsing Total Intake Model: Student would not be able to see faculty advisor until certain criteria are met and lose time for proper class. This is resolved by directing as soon as they declare major. placement – that is not true as students can see their faculty advisor as well as academic advisor |
