Instruction
· The move to a semester calendar will provide some benefits to athletics with positive or no impact on some related services. The campus bookstore, recruiting and student housing will experience little change, and the anticipated changes will be managed. The National Junior College Athletic Association essentially adheres to deadlines and schedules based on a semester basis, so the move to a semester timeline will provide consistency with other NJCAA member schools.
Information Technology/Institutional Research
· Testing is still being done on the conversion of student records and course sections.
·
The transcript customization needs to be revisited because of changes to the student record conversion process. New expected completion date is April 15.
·
A review of the transfer equivalency process has started in preparation to convert those records.
Communications
· No new communication is being rolled out. However, the Q2S conversion is being tied to April 8, the first day students can register for the 2019 Fall Semester. We continue to place paid advertising that promotes awareness and the registration period through various methods, including print, online and broadcast.
Student Affairs
· Changing the telephone on-hold message to include information about the conversion is complete. The new messages have been recorded and have been implemented on the Mitel phones and the Help Desk line. IT is working to add it to the Toshiba system.
