She explained the biggest change this summer is that freshman orientation moved from 4 days to 3 days and transfer orientation moved from 1 day to 2 days. Handouts with the detailed schedule for both orientation programs were available at the meeting and will also be available from the ACA website.<br />Cristi explained the orientation schedules changed due to student feedback over the years. Time is definitely maximized. Each day is full from 8am to 5pm. Day 2 is the pre-advising and academic advising day for freshman. The SMURF lab in FAC is being renovated this summer. Other potential computer labs on campus are being located. There is potential for the student computer lab in the CBA to be used as the main registration computer lab for Day 3 registration. This information will be communicated to colleges when the decision is finalized and a computer lab is secured.<br />Esmer Bedia reviewed the Family Orientation At-A-Glance. Details are listed on the freshman orientation timeline handout. Esmer explained the transfer orientation has been extended overnight and includes the freshman orientation programming “gems”. Transfer students will register on Day 2. The students may attend as many Day 2 events as they would like to, even if they do not sleep on campus overnight in the transfer orientation housing.<br />Students and staff can view orientation details at www.utorientation.com. The NSS orientation staff is officially relocating from SSB 4th floor to SSB 3rd floor, and will move into Jester for the summer . The best way to contact them is to call the fishbowl/Jester East main desk: 512-471-1652.<br />Fall programming will include Fall Orientation for all freshman and transfer students who were unable to attend any other new student orientation throughout the summer. Cristi is also working to create a reference for all first week of classes events hosted around campus, in all colleges. This week will be called WOW: Week of Welcome, Aug. 19- Sept. 2. Hopefully by centralizing all of the college and campus wide events, more awareness will exist and result in greater student participation.<br />Dalia Rehal will offer the TSI test at 3 different times, during each week of new student orientation. <br />ALEKS Information: there will be no ALEKS sessions and students are on their own to register for the test. They may take it anytime it’s offered. A description of the ALEKS test is listed in the Orientation Guide and a session on Teaching & Learning is offered on Day 2. Placement exams will be discussed in this session.<br />College Contact Updates from the ACA Membership:<br />,[object Object]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/may2011acameetingminutes-110525093127-phpapp01/85/May-2011-ACA-Meeting-Minutes-1-320.jpg)
