7. #32: Limit the number of times a student can apply for internal transfer to restricted programs in the same college.
8. #33: Develop a policy regulating repeat registration in the same courseAndi will forward the report to the membership. <br />Question: Who is on the education policy committee?<br />Andi’s Response: Deans from many colleges and Lovelys is our ACA representative.<br />9:40Registration Discussion and updates from Cindy Wilson regarding Signature Courses, Liz Hastings for Spanish & Portuguese Department, and Susan Brown from Math Department<br />Megan Rovang thanked everyone for the thoughtful discussion had during the morning registration reflection time. The handouts from each table that wrote comments will be compiled into a single document and shared with the membership during a future meeting.<br />Cindy Wilson explained that spring 2011 registration in UGS courses should be much easier than summer 2010, but only 53 courses are being offered. This is a total of 3000 seats. There will be more UGS courses taught during summer 2011. Some seats may be saved for Liberal Arts summer school students. During registration, a lot of seats will be opened up, unlike summer 2010 registration. There will be only a handful of seats held. Returning students with more than 2 semesters of in-residence coursework must call the UGS Signature Course Office, during their registration access period, to register for a course: 512.471.4421. Please direct them to register for UGS 303 courses.<br />Question: How are students blocked from registering if they have completed more than 2 semesters in-residence?<br />Cindy’s Response: The restriction is in the registration system.<br />Comment from membership: Students think they cannot register for a course, if they are blocked, and do not register for it. They may also not come in for advising to find out how to register for it. So, it seems you are putting up barriers for them.<br />Cindy’s Response: It’s a “Chicken & Egg” scenario. We are just trying to encourage students to take the course early.<br />Question: Can you change the restriction to a warning and encourage students to call your office?<br />Cindy’s Response: Maybe, it will be considered.<br />Question: Summer UGS courses are only offered during summer II. Is there any way to change this?<br />Cindy’s Response: We will look into it. I will talk to Dean Woodruff.<br />Elizabeth Hastings distributed Spanish language sequencing handouts and explained it. She announced that all Spanish language lower division language courses will be offered during both summer 2011 terms. Spanish 611D will be offered in the spring 2011 semester for the first time! Liz also distributed study abroad brochures and explained that SPN 611D credit can be earned while studying abroad.<br />Susan Brown made a big THANK YOU to everyone for ALEKS help! She also explained students that want to take M 303D, M 305G, M 408K, M 408N, M 408C, must have the appropriate ALEKS score. The test is $10. Susan also discussed the Elementary Statistical Methods course M 316. Students must have the appropriate ALEKS score in order to meet the pre-requisite. She said this is not in the catalog, yet, but for statistics only, M 305G credit is sufficient in order to take statistics. Susan also explained the Math Department will offer these courses and allow all students to register: M 305G, M 302, M 362K, M 341.<br />9:50Other Announcements<br />Lovelys Powell announced the FUNdraising Committee is now delivering goody bags in return for all scholarship donations. The goody bags will be delivered in November. The committee is also accepting candy donations if you care to contribute any. You may drop them off at Lovelys’s office: CBA 2.400.<br />Brad Popiolek announced the UGS office is moving into their new office space in FAC over the next couple weeks and will begin seeing students again after spring registration.<br />*Several people very quickly announced new staff members; however, I was not able to catch their names as there was a lot of commotion since many members were leaving the auditorium. I apologize!<br />Andi Poag announced that she may plan a brown bag for a download/sharing about member’s NACADA experiences as well as another brown bag for the shooting that occurred on September 28th on campus. She will announce this via the ACA listserv.<br />10:00Meeting Concluded<br />Fall Semester Events<br />November 10ACA Monthly Meeting (8:15-10am, ACES 2.302)<br />December 8ACA Monthly Meeting (8:15am-10am, Room TBA)<br />Date TBA ACA Holiday Party<br />
![ACA Monthly Meeting<br />Wednesday, October 13, 2010<br />8:00-10:00am<br />ACES Auditorium (ACES 2.302)<br />8:00Breakfast: NACADA Share<br />Sponsored by Business Foundations Program- Thank You!<br />8:40Welcome <br />8:45Core petitions: Jeanette Herman Assistant Dean of Academic Initiatives<br /> School of Undergraduate Studies<br />Dean Herman explained that petitions for core curriculum need to be sent to Erin Collins. If a student intends to use study abroad credit to satisfy core requirements, a core curriculum petition needs to be submitted to Erin Collins, prior to the student departing on study abroad experience. Dean Herman brought a handout with a list of all degrees requiring flags. An online petition form for flags should be on their website in November. She explained there is one difference between core petitions and flag petitions: transfer students can petition their home college and ask if the flag can be waived. *This is really a last resort and should only be considered an option for graduating seniors who are lacking a flag.<br />Question: Can a list be created that reflects core curriculum and flag curriculum?<br />Dean Herman’s Response: This is very challenging to create and maintain, but she will try.<br />Question: Will petitions approved become a standard for all?<br />Dean Herman’s Response: A list will be kept of approved petitions, but currently, there is no automatic mechanism to make this happen as a standardized process/approval.<br />Question: Can flags be noted in NRRECS? Currently we have to go to the course schedule to view the flags listed.<br />Dean Herman’s Response: I will have to look into that.<br />Question: Can the course schedule search by flag?<br />Dean Herman’s Response: Yes and my contact information is on the handout, if you have any more questions.<br />8:55Center for Teaching & Learning updates: Dawn Zimmaro, Director<br />*Formerly the Instructional Assessment and Evaluation of the Division for Instructional Innovation and Assessment Center (DIIA)<br />Dawn explained there have been some staffing changes:<br />,[object Object]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/acameetingminutes101310-101216130405-phpapp02/85/ACA-meeting-minutes-10-13-10-1-320.jpg)
![Our secondary contact is Liz Torgerson, liz.torgerson@austin.utexas.edu.Dawn discussed their efforts to be more proactive and schedule meetings with colleges and/or advisors to discuss tests and programs. She explained there is a new button/option available when students claim test credit. They can choose to claim score/placement for the course or actual credit that is added to their UT academic record. For example: A student doesn’t need the actual credit, just score/placement credit to meet another course’s pre-requisites.<br />,[object Object]](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
