Discussion Item/Summary
Facilitator
1
Approval of February 22, 2007 Minutes
 
Jean
2
Update on DUG Conference – Very beneficial. Some of the issues discussed: need for Financial Aid transcript grouping, converting instructor info, E-Advising, increased Web activity. She did some valuable networking and identified potential benchmarking contacts.
Jean
3
Approval of “Major” code revisions for inactive programs (MAJR) – for conversion
Jean had tested these for transcript printing and discovered that the “degree” and “major” entered in Colleague show on the transcript, NOT the academic program. She reviewed the inactive codes approved previously and submitted a list of recommended description revisions.
 
Lynne noted that some of these majors are “active” in Test and wondered if that would be a problem. Jean indicated that these codes will be “inactive” in Live when they are added from a conversion spreadsheet. They are “active” in Test so more scenarios can be tested. 
Jean
4
Approval of additional codes for CE Grade Scheme – Valid grades currently entered for CE are CS Community Services and NC No Credit. Jean noted that CE courses can now be included on transcripts, so she recommends adding W Withdrawal for students who do not complete the longer CE course offerings. Terri noted that Phlebotomy students currently receive grades of Pass/No Pass (P/NP), so these may need to be added as well. Kathy will review the CE grade scheme with Cindy.
Jean
5
Patch Testing – continue checking elements on patch spreadsheet (due March 20)
