Dear Academic Advising Community, President Eighmy's creation of the Vice President for Student Success Office prioritizes UTSA's focus on becoming an urban-serving institution of the future. The realignment and collaboration of units under the VPSS Office will aid the University in meeting its student success goals as well as enhance the overall student experience. As you are aware from President Eighmy's email announcement on Monday, Academic Advising and the Graduation Help Desk will report to Ms. Angelica Barrera, Interim Vice President for Student Advising & Support. Please join me in congratulating Ms. Barrera! I would also like to take a moment to thank everyone within the Advising Community. It has been my distinct pleasure to work with each of you and I am tremendously proud of what we have accomplished together. I am confident that your great works will continue. I look forward to collaborating with you on future initiatives under the Interim Vice President for Student Success.

This is because there is no longer a pre-com sequence in the current catalog. New admits and transfers should now go directly into The COM major with a concentration if desired. Advisors are authorized to manually make this change as needed. Further, students in older catalogs are no longer required to fulfill pre-COM requirements and can immediately be changed into the Com major with a concentration if desired. Steven R.

CLEP prep from Modern States & edX

by advising＠lists.sis.utsa.edu

Hello All, Ellie from AHUM recently shared some information about a resource for students preparing for CLEP exams. Modern States is a non-profit dedicated to college access and affordability. They have partnered with edX to develop free, online courses (includes lectures, quizzes, tests, textbooks, etc.) that assist students with preparing for many of the CLEP exams. During their early trials, 70% of learners passed the CLEP exams (meets the national average). Modern States is also offering a voucher to pay for the already affordable CLEP fee (for the first 10,000 test takers that complete one of their courses). More info can be found at the links below and on the attached flyer. The Testing Services website also has a link ("Freshman Year for Free") to the Modern States website on their CLEP page (see below). Thank you for sharing this information Ellie!

Reminder about Online Cyber Security Courses

by advising＠lists.sis.utsa.edu

All, Good afternoon! It was great seeing all of you yesterday at the All-Advisor Monthly Meeting! I wanted to send a quick reminder, as we get into full swing with Fall registration, about the Online Cyber Security courses. If you are placing an override (M1, Q1, P1, etc.) for any Business or Information Systems courses that are in the Cyber Security degree plan, please make sure you are placing section-specific overrides. Our Online Cyber Security courses are restricted to our admitted students only, due to our funding differences. Generic overrides, unfortunately, allow students to enroll in any section, regardless of section distinction. I have been in conversation with technical folks on campus to see if this issue can be remedied easily and have not had any success as yet so I ask for your cooperation in making sure your students are not enrolling in Online Cyber Security courses (with section CY1). I also check enrollment periodically so if I come across anything, I will let you know! Thanks for your time and attention today!

ALCON - The time has come to honor our youngest heroes! The military child serves too - they are expected to support the mission by understanding the needs of the military when a parent deploys, they receive permanent change of station orders to relocate and when the military member has to put service before their families' needs. Since 1986, April has been declared the Month of the Military Child (MOMC) to recognize the commitment, contributions and sacrifices of military children. Gov. Abbott has signed a MOMC Proclamation for Texas (attached) for all to display proudly and bring awareness to our kids unique challenges. PurpleUp! For Military Kids Day has been declared for Texas as April 13, 2018. We are asking schools, youth organizations, businesses and community partners to PurpleUp! so that military youth actually SEE the support in their communities. You can wear purple, tie a purple ribbon, post signs/banners, wear purple wrist bands basically anything that shows your support. We ask that if districts/campuses/businesses share on Social Media activities and celebrations (even if it’s just wearing purple)- please tag our office - Twitter: @jbsa_slo Facebook: JBSA School Liaison Offices and use the following hashtags: #milkids #MOMC #PurpleUpTexas Texas is proud to be home to Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Navy, National Guard and Reserve families and the second largest state in the US with military dependents ages 0-18. So help us recognize military children’s sacrifices as they serve our nation. The March/April Patriot's Express will highlight MOMC, PurpleUp! as well as other events that will help celebrate these youth! Get your purple on! Let's Paint TEXAS Purple!
