Karen Pence, Chair, called the meeting to order at 10:35 a.m.
The minutes of October 12, 2005 stood approved as written.
Randy began by passing out a packet of materials for members to review. He gave a brief overview of the programs at the MCC ( Manhattan Christian College ) and the materials included in the packet. He mainly discussed dual degree programs between the Manhattan Christian College and Kansas State University. Eight percent of their dual degree students are from out-of-state. Students in their dual degree programs will most likely transfer to K-State. This packet is given to their students at the beginning of their time with them and it includes contacts for them at K-State. He thanked Kansas State University for their cooperation with the MCC ( Manhattan Christian College ). Questions and comments followed. Randy mentioned that he as well as Jeff Davis can be contacts for further questions by this committee. Randy offered to send the packets he handed out to anyone colleges who are interested.
Emily discussed plans for a November 2006 transfer student orientation and enrollment program for Spring Semester 2007. This idea was brought to CAPP by Julie Katz over the summer and Emily was present to provide more information and find out what would be helpful for successful implementation. The planned implementation date is November 17, 2006. Committee members felt the best time to schedule this program is after the assigned enrollment times for continuing students. This orientation would be similar to what is offered to transfer students in the April O&E program each year, but would serve spring semester transfer students. Emily and Monty Nielsen responded to questions and concerns raised by the committee. The issue of class availability was addressed during this discussion. Emily stated the rationale behind offering this second semester orientation is in response to students' needs and requests. It was asked how many new transfer students enroll during this time. During the last few years it has been between approximately 250-400 students. Emily stated the next step will be official notification to the Deans and Department Heads to share with their colleges.
A side issue that came up was the issue of parents wanting to be physically present with their children every step of the way while enrolling. Committee members mentioned some of their colleges' techniques and ideas for this problem. Some colleges do appreciate the parents being present, but each college has a different way of handling this.

Non-standard Time Request (motion by Ehie, seconded by Trussell) was approved for Spring 2006 only by e-mail vote conducted October 24-26, 2005. (9 yes, 7 no response)
The university's official policy is that an undergraduate student may not enroll for more than 18 credit hours unless granted permission by the student's academic dean. However, the enrollment system has a “soft cap” that allows a student to enroll for 19-21 hours or more, subject to review by dean. Questions and concerns were presented and Monty responded to them. iSIS will not support a “soft cap” and will include both scheduled and waitlisted courses in determining total hours of enrollment. If the current policy of 18 hours/semester is continued, any attempt to enroll in credit hours that go past 18 hours enrolled and waitlisted will be denied in iSIS . Any recommendation to change the enrollment cap needs to go from CAPP to FS/Academic Affairs for consideration.
Lynn Ewanow made a motion that CAPP submit a request to Academic Affairs to change the 18 credit hour enrollment cap to 21 credit hours per semester to be effective with the implementation of iSIS. Motion was seconded by Diane Barker. Motion carried.
Not present. Nielsen commented that a University meeting scheduled to discuss this issue on November 11 should provide additional information.
They are in the process of seeking a director. The clarification was made that the university-wide program proposal will be acted upon by Faculty Senate. This will be a university-wide program.
Gunile DeVault asked Karen when CAPP actions become effective. The committee agreed that currently when the motion is passed at a meeting it becomes effective at that time, without waiting for approval of minutes at the next meeting. If a change in this procedure is required, CAPP will reconsider current practice.
