Information Technology/Institutional Research
·
Cloning of the Colleague environments has been completed. The Q2S (Quarter to Semester Test) Colleague environment was completed the week of May 13. This environment is a copy of the Production environment as of early May and allows for further testing, including Fall 2019 course sections and students registered for the Fall term.
·
A complete test of the conversion process, including student, course section and transfer equivalency records, was completed by May 20. Testing will continue until the actual conversion, which will take place the first week of July.
· Great
progress has been made on transcript customization. The IT Team was in the process of reviewing changes and making additional changes and felt that a "final" version would be ready to go to the Registration Team for its review by May 24.
Student Affairs
· The team is in the process of scheduling pop-up advising sessions at all locations occurring the last week of May and first week of June to continue to inform students of the change, the impact on their course schedule, and to get them registered for classes.
Instruction
· The new advising model is under development for 2019-2020 implementation. A new administrative director of advising, Vicki Domina, has been hired, and all full-time faculty will be trained in the new advising process during August prior to the start of the fall semester. Student Affairs personnel will be available for summer 2019 student advising; full-time faculty will not be required to be on campus during summer 2019 per contract provision.
· Program
operation during summer 2019 has been determined per faculty contract. No classes will be offered during summer 2019. Future summer schedule(s) will be developed providing student access to summer courses, including general education courses.
· Programs
offering coop experiences have integrated those courses into the two-year curriculum. Summer availability has been scheduled depending on student needs and program coordination.
· Program
tool needs have been identified with semester curriculum and communicated with the campus stores and vendors to provide tool purchases for students.
· The
Nuventive software solution is scheduled to be implemented during the 2020-2021 academic year. The schedule, process and reporting dates for student learning assessment for the 2019-2020 year have been developed.
Communication
· The final conversion emails prior to the start of the fall semester are scheduled for June 26 and July 26. No other new communication has been developed. However, we continue to make new students aware, as well as the general public, through a variety of advertising and promotion.
Administrative Services
· A discussion is scheduled for May 30 regarding the residence halls and cafeteria. Once a final decision has been made, the plan is to have meal plans and dorm rates updated in Colleague.
