Progress Reports

Student Affairs

· Work is being done on Fall 2019 schedules for non-cohort-based programs. Information from the Summer 2018 and Fall 2018 terms is being used to develop schedule drafts. Master Course forms will be entered into Colleague in January, and new semester courses will start being entered.

· A meeting with Beatrice and Milford Instructional teams was held to talk about uniform times to offer general education courses on each campus.

· SENCAP/DC/TCA courses will be listed in the printed credit class schedule for Fall 2019.

· A new Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) representative for SCC soon will be identified. This person will assist the College with any questions about updating the I-17.

· A test of the student records conversion process is being conducted. This should give information on what to expect when the actual records conversion occurs in Summer 2019.

· Work continues with the development of Recruit communication plans for incoming students.

· Housing information should be completed soon. A new food service vendor for Beatrice and Milford has been selected, Great Western Dining Service.

· Catalog review and updates are underway, and first drafts have been completed and sent to supervisors for additional review.

Instruction

· Advising sheets are now on the Q2S website!

· The Instruction Division has been working on tasks associated with advising, studying the impact the conversion will have on equipment and facilities, looking at letter-of-intent information for student-athletes, and determining faculty workload.

Information Technology/Institutional Research

· IT/IR continues to work on the quarter-to-semester credit conversion process, course scheduling and reporting.

Communications

· Retractable banners promoting the "apples to apples" cost of tuition and fees converting from a quarter to semester calendar will be placed at all SCC locations in early 2019.

My Perspective

Each month we'll feature SCC students, faculty, staff, alumni, employers, and members of the general public to get their thoughts about the conversion. This month's perspective is by Kyle Monti, Academic Transfer student.

"The transition from a quarter academic calendar to a semester academic calendar will make my transfer to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln much easier. Certain dates and deadlines that didn’t line up with Southeast’s quarters now will, paving a smoother transfer process for me and saving me a headache.”
