Opening Remarks

  • The main purpose of the meeting is to discuss two generalists in TC Central be given override authority rather than having TC Central personnel or the student have to call, meet or email department heads for overrides.
  • The second item discussed was the flow charts for Math and English. 

 
Scott Harvey explained—

  • Two generalists only and they won’t have access to SRPO
  • The overrides would be for transient students only, and only if they met the criteria for prerequisites.
  • If there are any questions, department heads would be contacted.
  • This would cut down on students having to contact department heads.
  • Sue Dacus will train the two generalists—Kandice Dacus and Sisireia Simmons.
  • Transfer evaluations will stay with Marilyn Angoli

After Scott explained the above procedure, only one comment was made saying that these procedures were not what they thought.  There were no objections, discussion, or vote taken.  We moved to the next topic—flow charts for Math and English.

 

Andrea presented the flow charts for Math and English.  There was discussion and suggestions on how they should appear on paper for least confusion.  Tasheka Johnson strongly urged we remove the majors from the top of the flow charts as the majors’ course requirements change often.  Keri Catalfomo stated that the Accuplacer flowchart is confusing and gives only half of the information.

 

Andrea Barnett will make the suggested changes and send them via email to the committee to review and make further suggestions.

 

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
