Update on POL 1013 AP Credit

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

Hello All, Please see the attached memo from the POL department confirming that students can now accept AP Credit for POL 1013 without having to first take either POL 1133 or 1213. This approval is retroactive to previous catalogs as well. Many students forget about their passing score and end up enrolling in POL 1013 at UTSA, so please let your students know about this change in policy. All students with a passing score for AP Government & Politics US should be able to accept this credit in ASAP. Updated instructions for accepting AP credit in ASAP can be found here<https://www.utsa.edu/advising/documents/AcceptAPCLEPCredit.pdf>. A few students have already accepted their credit, but please notify Suzanne.Stokes(a)utsa.edu<mailto:Suzanne.Stokes@utsa.edu> and Matt.Keneson(a)utsa.edu<mailto:Matt.Keneson@utsa.edu> if any students report a problem trying to accept their credit.

Pre-Requisite Update

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

Hello all, There will be a change made this weekend that will have pre-requisite checking going through DegreeWorks rather than Banner. So, starting Monday, when you add courses to a student's plan, if the student doesn't meet the pre-requisite or co-requisite, you will get a warning in the planner that they don't meet the pre-req. The warning looks like this: [cid:image001.png@01D7B44F.5D7C4400] And you'll also see yellow around the course(s) that has the pre-req error. If you hover your mouse over the triangle icon, it tells you specifically what pre-req the student is missing. [cid:image002.png@01D7B44F.5D7C4400][cid:image003.png@01D7B44F.5D7C4400] If this student has completed GEO 1103, or if it was added to the plan in an earlier term, then you'd only see the GEO 1123 show up in the message box like so: [cid:image004.png@01D7B44F.5D7C4400][cid:image005.jpg@01D7B44F.5D7C4400] Degree Works will allow you to leave the course there, even if they aren't meeting the pre-req (by clicking OK when the error pops up.) Maybe they're taking the pre-req elsewhere? There could be different scenarios where it's okay to have it there. It'll just give you that warning. Also, a pre-requisite does not have to be on the plan, if they've already taken the course and it's in Banner. You do not have to add courses they've previously taken to a student's plan to avoid the warning. Once you give the student an override, you will still get the warning. But, the student will be able to register (so long as you give the correct override.) If a student attempts to register for a course in ASAP that they don't meet the pre-req or co-req for, ASAP will tell them specifically what they're missing rather than just a generic "Pre-Requisite and Test Score Error." Example picture below: [cid:image006.jpg@01D7B44F.5D7C4400] If there is an exception in Degree Works, the pre-req checker does not look at that. You still need to give an override in Banner. Speaking of overrides, if you give one for a course, and another class they need to take relies on that course for registration/pre-/co-req purposes, you need to give an override for that course too. Here's an example: If you give an override for PHY 1603 and the student plans on registering in PHY 1611, you need to give an override for both courses. If the student registers in PHY 1603 with the override, they will get an error if they try and register for PHY 1611 without its own override. So, as you see students that are in this situation, it would be a good idea to give them the overrides now so they don't contact you with registration issues come November. If you have any questions about this, please send me an email or message me via Teams. Regards, Amanda Garcia Senior Registrar Officer Registrar's Office | The University of Texas at San Antonio One UTSA Circle, San Antonio, TX 78249 210-458-7599 Amanda.Garcia(a)utsa.edu<mailto:Amanda.Garcia@utsa.edu> Students: Please be sure to include your Banner ID or MyUTSA ID when corresponding with UTSA officials.

Frozen Audits

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

Hello, We have heard from a few people that they've noticed something different at the top of Degree Works for some students. It looks like this: [cid:image001.png@01D7AB10.EDF127F0] UTS went in yesterday and batch froze audits for certain students in order to pull data for OIR. It's nothing to worry about and nothing is wrong. It's a frozen audit just the same as if you had done it. It will be available in the History just like any other frozen audit. They will run them occasionally and the next time it should say "For OIR" or something like that either in the description or in the freeze type (where it says End of Fall Term right now.) If you want, you can clear it by hitting Process New. If you have any questions, feel free to send an email to DegreeWorks(a)utsa.edu<mailto:DegreeWorks@utsa.edu>. Regards, Amanda Garcia Senior Registrar Officer Registrar's Office | The University of Texas at San Antonio One UTSA Circle, San Antonio, TX 78249 210-458-7599 Amanda.Garcia(a)utsa.edu<mailto:Amanda.Garcia@utsa.edu> CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION: This email and any file transmitted with it may contain confidential information intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed.

Honors College Communique - September

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

HONORS COLLEGE COMMUNIQUE: September 2021 Hello from the Honors College! In partnership with Academic Advising, we are sending a monthly Honors College Communique on the Advising listserv, in which we will send short updates about: 1. Honors opportunities open to all students 2. A highlighted benefit of being an Honors College member 3. A student highlight from your advising areas 4. Contacts within Honors for more information Honors News: Honors College Fresh Start 2021! The last year was hard. In acknowledgement of the interruption and challenges to education during the pandemic, the Honors College suspended 2020 and 2021 Satisfactory Progress Reviews. Satisfactory Progress Reviews check to make sure our students have the required GPA for Honors membership and they are progressing through the Honors curriculum. Starting Fall 2021, we will institute our Fresh Start program. Here is how it works: each July, we will pull student GPA two ways, since students began at UTSA and since the beginning of Fall 2021. Whichever GPA is higher, we will use that one as the GPA for the Satisfactory Progress Review. In August, we will let students know the results of their Satisfactory Progress Review. Honors Opportunities for All Students: Upcoming Scholarships & Awards The Office of Nationally Competitive Awards<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhonors....> will offer the following workshops in September. Any student can RSVP on RowdyLink: * Critical Language Scholarship/Boren Scholarship: Monday, September 20 at 2:00 - https://rowdylink.utsa.edu/event/7185865, and Monday, September 27 at 4:00 - https://rowdylink.utsa.edu/event/7185862, deadline to apply is early November. These awards<https://honors.utsa.edu/onca/awards/boren-cls.html> fully fund students to study critical languages, many of which are taught at UTSA: Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The scholarship also allows students to study languages not offered at UTSA: Arabic, Bangla, Indonesian, Swahili, and Urdu. * Truman Scholarship: Friday, October 1 at 2:00 - https://rowdylink.utsa.edu/event/7192905, deadline to apply is December 1st. The award<https://honors.utsa.edu/onca/> is for students with demonstrated leadership and interest in careers in public service. * Gilman Scholarship for Study Abroad: the deadline to apply is October 5th. The Gilman Scholarship<https://honors.utsa.edu/onca/awards/gilman.html> is a study abroad scholarship that provides students with limited financial means and often from underrepresented backgrounds with an opportunity to study, intern, or do service abroad. Highlighted Benefit for Honors College Members: Priority registration - Honors students (freshmen-senior) have priority registration, which means they are one of the first groups to register for classes. While we encourage our students to meet with their Honors Counselor to review their Honors progress, we also encourage them to meet with their Academic Advisors early to discuss the major/degree classes they need for the upcoming semester. If you, or Honors students, have questions about Honors courses or the curriculum, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. You can email their Honors Counselor or the Director of Counseling, Alegra Lozano (alegra.lozano(a)utsa.edu<mailto:alegra.lozano@utsa.edu>).
