From: Sally Bench Sent: Friday, April 18, 2014 2:01 PM To: Barbara Smith; James Adair; April Lawver; Lona George; Sylvia Mansour; Olga San Miguel; Patricia Gonzalez (Cosae); Monica Glover; Joan Tsacalis; Diana Howard; Cynthia Rodriguez (Tomas Rivera); Sabina Bhattathiry-Kapoor; Colin Howlett; Alan Vince; John Niemi; Kim Canady; Erika Cox; Sarah Webb; Group_f7825f2082 Subject: Drop Six and Linked Courses Hello all, We have discovered a problem with our newly linked courses (for this Spring Term, it is only BIO 1404) and the drop six program. Currently students who drop BIO 1404 are charged with 2 courses dropped because of the linked call (crn) numbers. A programming request has been submitted to correct this issue. In the meantime, we will be correcting the student records who have dropped BIO 1404 sometime after the April 28th deadline to drop. (this may be delayed a bit because of the PeopleSoft upgrade and Banner being down) Please forward this message to others who may need to know. Thanks.

FW: session notes

by advising＠lists.sis.utsa.edu

Advising Community, We wish to remind everyone that advising session notes must be placed under the "NOTES" tab which is a specific section under 'Details .'

If notes have been placed in the wrong area, going forward, please begin placing them under "NOTES." Below you will find two screen shots of the incorrect and correct place to document advising session notes (Please continue to scroll down to see both.)

All-Advising Probation Program Development

by advising＠lists.sis.utsa.edu

Howdy, Barbara Smith recently reached out to the Academic Advising Council (AAC) asking us to discuss developing an all-advising probation program for all of UTSA Advising. Instead of AAC members taking sole charge of this task, we thought it would be best to extend an invitation to participate to those who have worked closely with their center's current/previous programs or to any advisor who may be interested in helping with this task. We realize this is a busy time for all of us, but the commitment will likely only last until June 1st (see timeline below). Specifically, the committee will be focusing on topics such as: * Developing recommendations for a universal model for working with probationary students regardless of center/advisor o Best practices o Current UTSA practices o Possible different interventions for students along a sliding scale (likely GPA based) o Minimum expectations of advisors when working with probationary students * Communication/Outreach strategy: EARN, holds, emails, etc. * Metrics for future assessment of the program's impact on student success/retention * Timeline for training & implementation The current proposed timeline is: June 1st - Recommendations due Summer/Fall 2014 - Administrative review and approval Fall 2014 - Advisor training regarding new model Spring 2015 - Implementation Please let me know of your interest in participating by 5:00 pm Friday April 18th. I will be contacting those interested early next week to set up the first meeting time. Thank you, Matt D.
