Student Services Council Notes- April 15, 2026
This is the second to last meeting of the year.
- Focus was on reviewing progress and accomplishments for the year.
- Membership of the Catalog Committee and the Outreach committees were reviewed.
- We reviewed the accomplishments for the year.
- Items that I think would be of particular interest to faculty:
- Check out the dashboards under Institutional Effectiveness. Lots of interesting data there. Try the grade distribution.
- The catalog production timeline has a goal of publishing March 1, 2027. This enables information to be available in time for registration activities.
- Next year, late curriculum changes won’t go into a catalog addendum. Only things going into an addendum would be due to legal requirements, not miscellaneous curriculum updates.
- This is earlier than in years past. This means that curriculum changes for the next year’s catalog need to be to AP&P for the fall approval batch. The spring batch would go into the next catalog year. (I don’t have the actual AP&P cutoff deadlines.)
