The student calls, gives an ID code, and receives his grades. MTSU does not mail grades unless the students request them in written form. Both staff and students seem to like the system. We are looking at this system for UTC from a variety of vendors with a range of services. The other system under consideration is computer-based, similar to the one used at the University of Georgia.
Students can use any computer terminal with Internet access.
Computer registration is superior to phone registration because you can see the computer screen and note what is open rather than having to wait for a voice. This type of system could be put into place fairly easily here. You could even register students while you are advising if you are hooked into the network. What system we decide to get depends in part on the conclusions drawn by the committee which is examining the advisement process. We must look at cost factors too.
