I. Informal Networking Participants arrived beginning around 1:45pm, everyone enjoyed some light refreshments, and the meeting began at 2:00pm. II. Special Topics & General Forum §
What We Wished Students Knew About College After the
participants mingled and enjoyed refreshments, § What We Need To Know About SU99 (&FA'99) Referencing the Edge SU'99 Calendar, Katherine Sweeney reviewed key dates, and pointed out the "sessions" and various "registrations", stressing the need for those using Financial Aid to sign up for all summer classes during Priority Registration or on May 11. Noel Brock noted further that students currently receiving Financial Aid who intend to enroll summer, must stop by the Financial Aid Office and sign up. Katherine noted that although students may take up to 18 hours, careful consideration is needed in the selection of summer load due to the compacted nature of these course. She offered the good news that summer athletic and student services fees would be reduced for the summer term, and that web information was being adjusted accordingly (printed booklets do not reflect the adjustment, but the catalog does). Copies of the Advisors' Notes for SU99 Priority Registration, and Priority Registration Help (brochure) were distributed. (Representatives also received departmental packets of newsletters.)
Katherine announced that FA99 course information should be available by mid-April to allow students an opportunity to meet with their advisors while still on campus. Kathy pointed out that for those departments that use an additional term PIN, there will be a brief period when they will be handling both SU99 & FA99 Term PIN lists. To help distinguish these, Bill English offered to make "5" the first number of the summer Term PINs, and "8" the first number for fall. Noel Brock asked that students be reminded to complete their applications for next year's aid now.
§
Advising Conference Reports Continuing the effort to share
information gathered at recent conferences (Georgia Advisors' Conference '99
and the 1999 NACADA Region IV Conference), c onference participants gave an
overview of the latest Hot Advising Topics. Sarah Hammond presented the key
elements involved in Successful Group Advisement,
noting when group advisement is appropriate, some key elements, and how to
keep it personal. §
What's New Around Campus Participants were then asked to
share what was new in their areas or what they wished students knew about
their areas. Anita McDaniel related the transfer issues surrounding
Humanities, reminding advisors to refer students with art and music
appreciation courses which may fulfill these requirements to the department
(LLC). Kathy shared Karen Sisk's note regarding The College Composition
Connection course being offered to high school juniors and seniors through CE
this summer. Barbara Stewart shared that financial aid checks would be ready
for pick up on May 20. Sarah Hammond clarified that students could find their
academic standing by calling ASTRO and listening to the full report of their
grades. She noted further that this information is also included on the
Student Academic Summary sheet available on Banner (WTRN100). III. Next Network Meeting: Wed Oct 27, 1999 Informal networking at 1:45PM, and the program at 2:00PM. Participants were asked to make suggestions for programs, Postcards from the Edge, agenda items, and other advising supports.
