Dillard University SOAR Academic Advising Spring 2013

http://www.slideshare.net/ccharles/du-soar-advising-flowchart-jan-2013

Good Morning Everyone,

As a follow up from the Deans and Chairs meeting, please find below a description of the process for Advising for SOAR. You will find information regarding the specific process and the role the Center for First-Year Experience (CFYE) will play listed at the bottom of this email.  The information is different from what I communicated in the meeting yesterday.  I apologize for any confusion this may cause.  You will also find a flowchart attached to this email that Shannon Williamson created.  The flowchart outlines specifically what Advisors will need to do when students arrive for advisement.

Instructions for faculty:

According to the SOAR play-by-play, faculty should be available in their offices for advising and registration for new and transfer students Thursday from 2:00- 4:30 and Friday from 9:00-4:30.  Once a student is cleared by Business and Finance, Health and Wellness, Residential Life, Financial Aid and Admissions, they are ready for academic advising.  Students may not register for classes until they have cleared all other areas.   If the student is not cleared, they can still come to their Advisor for advisement on the classes to take.  The students will be able to register once they are cleared.  Students will be sent to their academic departments for advisement.

Shannon Williamson, Instructor in the CFYE, and I will be available to trouble shoot issues related to academic affairs. Any student who is confused about where to go for advisement, does not have a copy of their transfer evaluation or transcript, cannot get in contact with their advisor, etc.  will see us.   We are in PBS 131/135.  We will clarify the student's need and direct the student to the appropriate academic unit.

Below is the report sent by Admissions yesterday of the students potentally enrolling this term.  Please be aware that there is no definitive way to know how many students will actually arrive to SOAR.  If you have any questions, please feel free to call me on my cell phone at 770-633-7507 or if you need me in person, I am in PSB 131/135.
