AIS 1203

by advising＠lists.sis.utsa.edu

Advisors, Please remember to tell your students that they must take a linked section of AIS if they still need to take either WRC 1013 or WRC 1023. The standalone courses are only for those students who have completed both WRC 1013 and WRC 1023. Also, please tell your students that the sections of AIS marked with a H, are for Honors only. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, D a.k.a. Dainon

Some ensembles require an audition to determine seating/parts. The following are the most popular ensembles: MUS 3802 Marching Band MUS 3731 University Band MUS 3752 Symphonic Band MUS 3742 Wind Ensemble MUS 3762 UTSA Orchestra MUS 3711 Mariachi MUS 3771 Jazz Ensemble MUS 3712 Concert Choir MUS 3721 Men's Glee Club MUS 3722 Women's Choir MUS 3792 Lyric Theater Many small instrument ensembles are under MUS 4581. Students may register and participate, but please encourage them to follow up with the Music Department for further instructions.

AIS + SHATRNS Update

by advising＠lists.sis.utsa.edu

Hello all, Disregard the part in yesterday's email that said to tag a course with 090 in SHATRNS to satisfy AIS in Degree Works. This will cause problems, so a new attribute has been created and it is AIS. Please use the AIS attribute. This will replace the 095 that we'd been using these last few months. All courses that have previously been given the 095 code will be changed over to the new AIS attribute. [cid:image001.png@01D1BCB9.27CE7AF0][cid:image003.jpg@01D1BCB9.27CE7AF0] For those that are unsure what I'm referring to: If a student is exempt from having to take AIS and can substitute a transfer course for it, rather than making an exception in Degree Works, you can go in to SHATRNS and give it the AIS attribute (see picture above). If you have any questions, please send an email to: DegreeWorks(a)utsa.edu<mailto:DegreeWorks@utsa.edu>.

Farewell to Leah!

by advising＠lists.sis.utsa.edu

Please join me in bidding farewell to a shining star in LHS, Leah Stoddard. Leah recently accepted a position as an Associate Academic advisor for the College of Liberal Arts at UT Austin. Her last day at UTSA will be Monday, June 6th. While in LHS, Leah graciously took on many additional duties that allowed our center to function as well as possible in the first two years of our inception. I am truly grateful for the extra effort she put in each and every day, and I can't thank her enough for the extra support she provided to me and to the entire LHS team. UT is gaining a great advisor! Please join us from noon to 1:30 for cake and punch as we wish Leah well in her new professional endeavor! Thanks all! Cynthia J. Rodriguez, Director Life and Health Sciences Advising University of Texas at San Antonio One UTSA Circle San Antonio, TX 78249 (210) 458-4045 [cid:image001.png@01CA263A.0F0588A0] NOTICE: This e-mail transmission contains information, which may be confidential and/or privileged.

DW: Update to Component Area Option in Core // Tagging AIS 1203 in SHATRNS

by advising＠lists.sis.utsa.edu

To expand a little on Karl's email: The Coordinating Board has created a new set of codes for the Component Area Option (CAO) of the core. All CAO courses used to be 090, but now they can be anywhere from 090 through 098. For all those that like the details, here is the information from the Coordinating Board [in part]: Component Area Option (transcript code 090) The CAO allows the institution flexibility to incorporate institutional requirements or include specific degree requirements in the core curriculum. Examples are courses such as a writing focus course, a multicultural studies course, an additional mathematics course for engineering majors, or an additional social and behavioral science course for liberal arts majors. Alternatively, the CAO may provide options for students to choose additional courses from the other FCA. The fourth hour of a four-SCH course that cannot be accommodated by its FCA may also be counted as CAO hours. (See section Overflow Hours). The content of the six SCH in the CAO is defined in rules: Option A: At least three SCH of the CAO must be aligned and associated with the definition and core objectives of one of the eight other FCA. Option B: Up to three SCH may be aligned and associated with at least one of the eight FCA definitions and may incorporate one or more core objectives of the institution's choice besides the two core objectives communication skills and critical thinking skills, which are required. Transcripts are not required to show whether a course was approved for Option A or Option B of the CAO or which FCA definition and core objective a course fulfills. The receiving institution must accept as part of a student's core completion any approved course for an institution's CAO without regard to the type of course or its association with an option in the CAO. Each institution must ensure that, according to Coordinating Board rule 4.28(b)(4)(B), not more than three SCH of a student's core curriculum may come from Option B of the CAO. The Coordinating Board's TCC WebCenter lists CAO courses with a three-digit designation that makes the type of CAO course transparent: CAO course in Option A: 091 - Course aligned with Communication 092 - Course aligned with Mathematics 093 - Course aligned with Life and Physical Sciences 094 - Course aligned with Language, Philosophy and Culture 095 - Course aligned with Creative Arts 096 - Course aligned with American History 097 - Course aligned with Government/Political Sciences 098 - Course aligned with Social and Behavioral Sciences CAO course in Option B: 090 - Course without specified Foundational Component Area Degree Works has been updated with the new code information. This means that 095 no longer will be the code to tag courses in SHATRNS to satisfy AIS in Degree Works. Now, you need to tag courses as 090 for a course to count as AIS in DW. If you have any questions, please email us at DegreeWorks(a)utsa.edu<mailto:DegreeWorks@utsa.edu>.
