Advising Task Force. Chris Farren reported some task force findings. Advisors often lack knowledge of current and revised prerequisites and degree requirements. Advisors fail to keep appointments or are not available. Advisors are not familiar with university services.
Advisors do little more than assist with completion of class schedules.
Creation of a central advising office for new students will alleviate some of these problems. In discussion, an unusual, unpublished regulation came to light. Students who played high school varsity tennis cannot enroll in tennis to satisfy Wellness and Movement Science Gen Ed requirements. No one seems to know why. The chair will research this issue.
