Hi Everyone,

Hope your day is going well.  We assisted 775 new Roadrunners during the freshmen orientation sessions this week.  I provided some notes/reminders from Academic Advising Leadership to prepare for the freshmen orientation sessions next week:

§ Releasing Advising Holds

o Please make sure you end date to release the orientation advising hold in Banner (SOAHOLD) before the student leaves your office. 

§ Course Recommendations for Fall 2019

o Please give students at least 24 semester credit hours of course recommendations.  Students were getting to the registration computer lab with course recommendations however due to some classes filling they did not have enough course recommendations to have a full-time schedule. 

§ AIS 1203 & UPM 1000

o List both AIS 1203 and UPM 1000 as part of the student’s course recommendations for Fall 2019.  Explain to the student they will register for one or the other.

§ Overrides

o If a student needs to register for a course for Fall 2019 but does not have the prerequisite in the UTSA system they must provide you with documentation that shows they satisfied the prerequisite requirement. (Example: providing an unofficial transcript from another institution with the course and grade that satisfies the prerequisite requirement).

o Before the student leaves your office, enter the override (Q1) in Banner (SFASRPO) for the student after you have received and validated their prerequisite documentation.

o Upload all documentation provided by the student into Navigate. 

Let us know if you have any questions.  Have a great day!
