We've had reports of DegreeWorks running very slowly, so we've asked OIT to restart the application.

Quick Orientation reminders and information
by advising＠lists.sis.utsa.edu
Good morning,
As you gear up for the 2nd day of orientation advising appointment for program 1 we wanted to share a few reminders and some things we learned yesterday while assisting students in the lab.
? Please set prerequisite overrides if the course(s) you are recommending have prerequisites and the student has shown you proof that they completed the prerequisite and the courses are not in Banner. It is frustrating, confusing, and time consuming for the student when they try to register for the courses you recommended for the fall and they receive the prerequisite error message.
? Students should have 7 recommend courses (21 hours) to choose from as some of the courses may be full by the time the student tries to register. The courses for the block schedule that you registered them for would count toward the 7 recommended courses.
? Remember to explain the block schedule to the students a little more. There were quite a few coming to the lab with some questions or thinking they had to register for the courses, not realizing you had registered them.
? BIO 1404
* BIO 1404 has limited sections available for non-biology students.
* We were informed yesterday that the Biology department and the department chairs for Kinesiology, Medical Humanities, Public Health and Biomedical Engineering met regarding BIO 1404. It was communicated to us that department chairs agreed that students in one of the majors, other than Biology, could delay taking BIO 1404 until the spring semester. For now if the student is not a Biology major please don't recommend BIO 1404 for the fall semester.
* For CAP students, do not list BIO 1404 as an option unless the student has opted out of CAP and is changing their major to BIO, PBI or PMI.
The students seemed well prepared when they come to the lab and every student I asked knew their advisor's name and shared that they liked meeting with her/him.
We appreciate all you are doing to support and guide the students as they make that transition to college.
Have a good day,
Barbara

UHPO Orientation Info
by advising＠lists.sis.utsa.edu
Hello!
The University Health Professions Office just wanted to send out a friendly reminder that we are having presentations and advising throughout freshman orientation this summer.
1) We have a presentation for orientation students interested in a health profession on Day 2 and Day 3 at 11 AM, in the Student Union Travis Room (UC 2.202)
2) We offer walk-in advising specifically reserved for orientation students on Day 2 and Day 3, in the afternoon. Sign-in begins at 1 PM, and walk-in advising will start at 1:30 PM. Our office is located in MS 3.03.14.
3) Students interested in a special program, either the Dental Early Acceptance Program (DEAP), the Joint Admission Medical Program (JAMP), or the Facilitated Acceptance to Nursing School (FANS), will need to meet with the advisors for those programs in UHPO, in order to apply. So please send them our way!
I've attached a quarter-sheet handout about our presentation and walk-in advising that can be printed out, to hand out to students. Hope it will be helpful as we progress through the orientation season.
