Michael Crow began his presentation by describing his previous interaction with CAPP at a meeting in July and at a LASER demonstration in December. He emphasized the importance of preparing each college’s staff for the significant changes that will take place in the student information system. The system is “convoluted” according to Mike and while enormous effort has been invested there is this characteristic present.
Mike stated that each college needs to be prepared to commit a staff person for a half day per week for six months to do the prerequisite analysis. For each course in the college, the faculty and staff need to validate the pre/co-requisites/concurrent course enrollment, and priority seating waitlist parameters. This needs to be accomplished by the summer of 2005. The forms provided by Mike should be used when working with the faculty on the validation of the system’s operation for correctly checking prerequisites. It is anticipated that DARS will be “bridged” to the system but this has not happened.
Apparently a major philosophical issue must be decided regarding if the “system” will:
Kevin Donnelly expressed the fact that his college prefers the system to warn the students while other CAPP members felt denial was preferred.
Ray Hightower suggested that members of CAPP or the appropriate designee begin meeting to discuss various aspects of the system. The first meeting will be on Wednesday, February 23 at 10:30. The location will be announced.
