Good afternoon, sharing the following information on an available spring Honors AIS course. Do you have a high achieving student who needs to take an AIS? We have availability in the following Honors AIS. Non-Honors students can request to enroll in Honors courses by submitting this form: https://utsa.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eyVNEREGlU2ddRQ. Please share the following with your students. AIS 1203.01H, Medical Humanities, Mondays & Wednesdays 8-8:50am, mix of in-person & online. Instructor: K. Harrell. Medical Humanities is an interdisciplinary field of study that uses the resources provided by the humanities (e.g., philosophy, ethics, literature, history, religion), social sciences (e.g., political science, anthropology, psychology, sociology, social work, health geography), and the arts (e.g., theater, film, visual arts) as a lens for examining issues in health, illness and its care, medicine, and medical education. MHU4813 explores crucial questions about health, well-being, medicine, environment, gender, race, and social inequality in the twenty-first century. Through a philosophical study of historical texts, scientific and clinical data, literature, and first-person narratives, students will examine definitions of health, illness, and well-being; the strengths and limitations of science and medicine in making sense of illness; disparities in global burdens of disease; the relationship among health, illness, and narrative; and gendered, racialized, and cultural differences in the experiences of illness and the practices of healthcare and medicine. Questions? Email us at honors.advising(a)utsa.edu<mailto:honors.advising@utsa.edu>. Thank you, Honors College

DW Honors Indicator Feature

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

Hello all, There is a new feature in Degree Works that allows you to mark a course in the planner as needing to be an Honors course. When you add a class click on the three dots for the course (1) then "Edit this requirement" (2) then there will be a checkbox option that allows you to mark the course as Honors (3). [cid:image001.png@01DA2113.A203BC60] On the plan, courses with an Honors indicator will have a star icon. [cid:image002.jpg@01DA2113.A203BC60] When you hover over it, there is a tooltip that says "This is an honors requirement". [cid:image003.jpg@01DA2113.A203BC60] If you have any questions, please email us at DegreeWorks(a)utsa.edu<mailto:DegreeWorks@utsa.edu>.

Re: Community College Block Removed From DegreeWorks 2020-2022

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

Hello All, Just an FYI that the Community College block has been removed from the 2017-2018 and 2018-2020 catalogs in Degree Works. You will need to click the "Process" button to see the changes. This is the same change that was made for the 2020-2022 and newer catalogs (see the email below from Sept 2022). This change will help the audit better apply community college classes toward students' degree requirements and will prevent common sharing issues for students still on older catalogs. You can view a count of how many community college hours are potentially counting toward a student's requirements in the Degree block at the top of the page (see below). If you run into any issues, please email us at DegreeWorks(a)utsa.edu<mailto:DegreeWorks@utsa.edu>. Thank you to the Degree Works team for this update! [cid:image004.jpg@01DA1BC3.32684D80] Matt D. Keneson Senior Assistant Registrar The University of Texas at San Antonio From: advising(a)lists.it.utsa.edu <advising(a)lists.it.utsa.edu> Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2022 9:49 AM To: advising(a)lists.it.utsa.edu Cc: James Adair <James.Adair(a)utsa.edu>; Johanna Hunziker <Johanna.Hunziker(a)utsa.edu>; Degree Works <DegreeWorks(a)utsa.edu> Subject: [Advising] Community College Block Removed From DegreeWorks 2020-2022 Good morning, The community college block has been removed in DegreeWorks for all students in the 2020-2022 catalog. This block was causing issues, which was one of the reasons for removing it. If you ever had a student who had an elective missing and you did an exception to pull it in, only to have another course kicked out, more than likely the CC block was causing that problem. Removing the block also allows DegreeWorks to look at all available community college courses, and then use the ones that the student needs for their degree first, rather than going in order from newest to oldest. This means the need to add XJCO to a course will be greatly reduced. Even without the block, there is still a restriction in the degree block that only allows a maximum of 66 community college courses. The count for community college hours is above the degree block. [cid:image001.jpg@01DA1BB5.99C7CE50] [cid:image002.jpg@01DA1BB5.99C7CE50] If, after hitting the Process button, you see any students that still have the CC block or do not have the count above the degree block and they are in 20-22, please 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 - November

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

HONORS COLLEGE COMMUNIQUE: NOVEMBER 2023 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: We are excited to announce Lyric Pryor will be the newest member of the Honor College team, as our new Recruitment & Retention Program Manager. Lyric's official first day in the Honors College will be on Monday, November 20th. She will be working with our Honors Admissions and Student Life teams. A welcome from Lyric: Hello! My name is Lyric Pryor and I am so excited to join the Honors College as a Recruitment and Retention Program Manager with the Honors College. I am extremely passionate about human development and the development of college students. This is such a critical time in their adult lives, to be a part of their journey to success drives the work that I do! I am a military brat, who was born in Abilene, Texas (although I only stayed there for a short time). I have lived all over the United States and overseas in Italy, which was an amazing experience! I earned my B.S. in Psychology, with a minor in Educational Studies and Analysis from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. I began my graduate journey by pursuing a Masters in Social Work at UTSA, and began working as a graduate assistant with what is now Student Success Coaching. I also worked with the Honors College as a graduate assistant before getting a full time position as the First-Generation and Transfer Student Program Coordinator. I also did extensive work with Northwest Vista College for my field practicum experience. Through these experiences, I realized my love for Higher Education and Student Affairs, leading me to make the decision to stop half-way through my MSW program and began my M.Ed. in Higher Education Administration! My areas of interest within higher education are student success, student development, student involvement, well-being, and community & belonging. I always tell others that I have quite a boring life, although I enjoy spending time with my loved ones, exploring San Antonio, and trying all of the amazing food spots in the city! I so look forward to working with you all and our amazing campus partners!

Graduation Application Deadline Extension

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

Hello All, I'm very pleased to announce that effective immediately the online graduation application deadlines for undergraduate students have been updated to align with the deadlines for graduate students. This means undergrads can now apply online for fall graduation through September 15th and for spring graduation through February 15th. Please let Chronika Winn and I know if you have any students that are not able to apply online for Spring 2024 after the old deadline (11/15) since it should now let them apply through 2/15/24. Please note that we will continue to encourage students to apply for graduation at least one semester ahead of time, and we will keep the old deadlines posted online as "priority deadlines" (see below) simply to encourage applying early (there are not currently any perks tied to the priority deadlines). More information about graduation deadlines and processes can be found here https://onestop.utsa.edu/graduation/applying-for-graduation/. The academic calendars and Student Policies will also be updated soon with the changes. [cid:image003.jpg@01DA162D.94A4AB10] Matt D.

Degree Works | Refresh Update

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

Hello all, We are updating refresh settings in Degree Works in the hopes that it will help with lag issues with Degree Works and registration. 1. It will take three minutes for worksheets/audits to automatically refresh. You can force a refresh by following the manual refresh settings I sent out yesterday (Banner data refresh button + Process button). The first time students log in to Degree Works and there have been changes to their record in Banner (such as registration), the audit will refresh with the changes. If they go to register and come back and refresh DW in less than three minutes than the last time they refreshed DW, their changes will not show on their audits. A message will be put on the worksheets letting them know it will take three minutes before they can refresh their audits to view changes. 2. We turned off refresh for Planner Audits. This change will only be temporary while we are in the peak of registration. When you view the Planner Audit, you may not see newly registered courses. We know the slowness, spinning circles, and errors are very frustrating and we, along with UTS, are working hard to try and get things back to normal as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience. If you have any questions or notice anything unusual with Degree Works, please email us at DegreeWorks(a)utsa.edu.
