I am pleased that they are going to have a better time at their first SWT registration. That is over 32 hours of office visits or extra time in the phone bank that she saved me. Having those electronic records entered into the SWT data base before the students arrive on campus may be the reason that registration has been ending at 2 P.M. instead of 5 P.M. as it has in the past. The temporary reports that were provided to me have been replaced with a batch program that I can run as needed. The next step is for me to be able to view this data using a computer screen just like we can view other transcript information.
Automation is the step after the viewing screen.
Randy Young has told me that this project is a big one, and therefore the progress made will be incremental since there are several components to this request. The PC did not wish to proceed with the process of supporting or rejecting proposed policy changes without further indications from the deans regarding their views on the proposed policy changes. The team is also attaching an addendum to the summary that draws attention to issues that may not have been clearly understood. To date, consensus has been reached on 5 of the 20 proposed issues. There is a commitment to continue to address the remaining issues until consensus is reached.
