Subject: [Advising] New Health Professions Pre-requisite Sheets
Hi All,
UHPO is changing the way we do health professions pre-requisite sheets this year. We are creating two sources for the students to find this information.
First, in our office, we are going to have "Pre-requisite Checklists" for students to track which pre-requisites they have completed. These are attached to this e-mail for your use. The new course numbers for the 2015-2016 catalog are on these pages.
On our website, which we are currently working on, we are going to have more detailed information about each health profession's pre-requisites and application information (testing, shadowing, etc.). It is our sincere hope that students will take time to read our website more and do some exploring about their individual health profession.
Continue to check https://utsa.edu/healthprofessions for more information in the coming weeks.
Thanks!

Health Professions Office 45H/90H Policy
by advising＠lists.sis.utsa.edu
Hi All,
As we approach 45H and 90H season, I just wanted to send out UHPOs policy on removing/post-dating these holds.
90H: We don't adjust these holds at all. We leave these for the primary advisors, since these are about graduation audits and degree progress. However, if a student says they are pursuing a health profession at 90 hours, they should still meet with us so that we can review their competitiveness and make sure they are on-track with their pre-requisites.
45H: We will end-date or post-date these holds for students who are completing Dental Hygiene, Nursing and Respiratory Care pre-requisites at UTSA. These students will not be completing degrees at UTSA before matriculating to their health professions programs. ALL other Health Professions students should see their primary advisor for their 45H.
* For UHPO to end-date the hold: Only students who are considered viable to DH, Nursing or RC (for those who appreciate hard numbers, GPAs above 3.0 are considered viable) will have their hold end dated. When in doubt, send a student to our office for walk-ins so we can assess their viability.
* For UHPO to post-date the hold: Students whose GPAs fall in the 2.5-2.99 will be considered borderline competitive and, as such, will have their hold post-dated until the end of the semester. If, after grades are in, they have gotten to a viable range (i.e., above 3.0) we will permanently remove the hold.
* When UHPO doesn't remove the 45H: For students below 2.5, we will not remove or post-date the hold. These students can meet with us or his or her advising center about back-up options.
Please feel free to contact me with questions about our policy.
Thank you for all you do to partner with the UHPO!

Good morning,
In an attempt to increase the communication flow among the UTSA Advising Community, some of you suggested to post a summary of the Advising Directors Meetings on our Advising mailing list.
So, here you go :) :
Advising Directors Meeting
August 24, 2015
Present: James Adair April Lawver
Dainon Deviney Raquel Linares (in place of Sylvia Mansour)
Lona George Jackie Loden
Monica Glover Roxanna Nelson
Patricia Gonzalez Cynthia Rodriguez
Diana Howard Olga San Miguel
Sabina Kapoor
Absent: Colin Howlett Sylvia Mansour
? Introductions
o Introduction of Catarina Rodriguez, Administrative Manager, USSTS to Advising Directors
? Budget FY 15-16
o Update: as of this meeting, budget will remain the same as last year. Each Director will be notified of their M&O and wages.
? Monthly meeting with Administrative Support Staff
o Catarina addressed the Advising Directors regarding the new initiative that Patti Ramirez and herself will be developing and implementing with the Advising Center Admin staff. This new initiative will focus on budgets and reconciliation and will be implemented in phases.
? Orientation Feedback
o Comments and Concerns:
? FR/FT
* Advisors were exhausted with the schedule of two sessions per week.
o Suggestion: somehow spread orientations evenly throughout the summer.
o Suggestion: Student Placement - June 1 on 1 advisement, July group advising
* Orientation continuing so late especially the online orientation and late registration is extremely challenging.
* Students - complete online orientation - are not as prepared because they do not have the pre-advisement session, as the in-person students receive, therefore it is not setting the student for success. Advisors have to allow for the session to run longer because students have no understanding of building a schedule.
o Suggestion: Develop an online pre-advisement module for the online orientation participants to review and develop a draft so they are better prepared for their advising appointment.
* Challenge this year online advising opening prior to all slots filled for face to face advising, despite being told it would not happen, it did.
* UC location problems: area smelled, making it very uncomfortable and affected the students and staff - sessions. Presenters prepping for their presentations, no Tech staff to assist with AV/tech issues, having to arrive earlier to troubleshoot.
o Suggestion: development accommodations for emergencies situations.
* OL's issues: not actively involved, had to prompt them to assist and in some cases not wanting to take students to their advisement centers. Reported issue to Lisa
* Communication with other departments, i.e. Testing - making it more available or an understanding of assistance needed especially when they are not present, i.e. Downtown
* TSI issues and official/nonofficial - admitting students & attending orientation before receiving them. Resulting in several advisement sessions for the same student.
? TR
* Students choosing online or phone advising because they do not want to come to campus. Stretches the advisors further: freshmen orientation, online, phone, degree audit cycle.
* Results: complaints that advisors not available
? International
* International orientation - very unorganized. Do not have the same assistance when leading the students to their perspective rooms - no signage
o Suggestion: Need Ambassadors or student helpers
* Confusion on who to call: students caseload list or attended orientation not registered list
o Answer: Orientation not registered list
? Other Concerns:
* Architect: admitting students after deadline
* Computer Science: choosing who they drop, i.e. a student in progress or 'A' student.
* Waitlist: departments not willing to open new sections
* Students who were deferred for summer, waiting for summer grades, are dropped before receiving letter
o Suggestion: no summer appeals
o Announcements:
? Deadline for Admissions is moving up
? CAP: eliminating program, will see a decrease overtime
? Advising Technology
o Degree Works
? Catalog complete, not including planner
? Issues: not pulling in recently added majors
o Global
? Issues: certain centers are having issues tracking
? Update: buttons are working
o EAB
? Pilot campaign program, targeting certain students. Specific centers have been requested to attend on Sept 15
? Skeleton Crew-Volunteers
o Not yet finalized
? Suggestions
* not be here all day, shorten the day to midday or 10am-2pm
* Centralized - not every center to be open
* Online chat instead of being present on campus
* Full day at the beginning and end
* Staff working received time for time
? Discussion:
* Not calling it advisement - rename, i.e. Messaging Center
* Most students are coming for dismissal, grades
o Who in the colleges will be there to assist?
? Reporting Change
o Barbara Smith will now be reporting to Dr. Wyatt effective Sept 1st
? Pros: faculty side, have more of an understanding of what the advisor goes through and a different perspective
? Protocol will not change as far as what does go to Dr. Williams
