1.   Advising

                Dr. Corder introduced Barbara Michelaides from the Student Success Center.  The Student

Success Center will be advising all freshmen students in all programs beginning in Fall 2007.

Ms. Michelaides discussed when to cut off advising for students in the SSC.  What transfers to health sciences degrees.  Does each department need to handle the transfers or do they need to go to the department head.  Suggestion on transfers – maybe we can get Student Success Center to have a one stop shop to get transfer students courses approved.  Do they need to assign an adviser to each program as a liaison for the SSC or do we want to combine different programs together. It was decided not to group any programs together for the liaison.  She also said the new Degree Audit program is in the testing phase.  The CICSPLUS adviser screen 119 needs to be updated weekly.
