Undergraduate and graduate catalogs
As catalog responsibilities move from University Relations to Academic Support Resources (ASR), several sections of the archival printable PDF of the undergraduate catalog will be omitted moving forward. These changes will streamline content and optimize online resources. All material included in the online undergraduate catalog will not change.
The following sections will remain as part of the archival printable PDF catalog:
1) Directory of Undergraduate Programs/Majors
2) Directory of Undergraduate Minors
3) Overview (purpose and orientation of online catalog)
4) Policies, Processes, and Systems (only a screenshot of each policy will be included)
5) Academics (only links to individual college websites will be included)
PDFs of PCAS Program Descriptions
PDFs of ECAS Course Descriptions
The graduate catalog is also being reformatted. A critical part of the process is ensuring that all graduate programs are entered into PCAS. A launch date by mid-to-late August is expected for a fully functional graduate PCAS. This program information will offer the most current online catalog content that has been entered into PCAS and reviewed by program owners. All future updates to programs in PCAS will be immediately available in the online catalog once approved.

D grades in minor
In June, the Credit and Grade Point Requirements for an Undergraduate (Baccalaureate) Degree policy was amended to reflect current practice on the Twin Cities and Rochester campuses. Specifically, the policy now states that D grades are not allowed in courses included in a minor. After going through the appropriate approval process, the policy change passed through the 30 day review period without any comment from the University community.
If you have questions about this policy, contact Tina Falkner.

FERPA Q&A: PSEO students
Question: Are PSEO students treated any differently than traditional students under FERPA?
Answer: Students participating in the Post-Secondary Enrollment Option (PSEO) program (in which they are enrolled in both high school and college) are afforded the same FERPA rights as a traditional college student. This means these students "own" the information included in their education records, and parents and guardians do not have a right to either suppressed public information or non-directory information.
Faculty often report that the parent of a PSEO student contacts them and requests information about his or her child's performance, attendance, or homework. Just like other college students, PSEO students need to provide permission to the faculty member to discuss non-directory information with others.
If you have questions about FERPA, contact Tina Falkner or Dan Delaney.

Mobile One Stop
One Stop Student Services has developed a mobile version of the One Stop website offering useful content in an easy-to-read format.
Of 600 students surveyed by One Stop, 89 percent owned a smartphone. The same percentage of students said they would visit the One Stop site more often if a mobile version was made available. Additionally, 54 percent of students said their smartphone is their primary way to access the internet on campus.
The mobile site includes timely and helpful "News" and "Contact Us" tabs, as well as a full site version for those preferring to view One Stop content in its entirety.

Course Guide videos
The existing hardware and software that manages Course Guide video processing will soon reach the end of its life cycle. Based on the low number of Course Guide video files, Academic Support Resources (ASR) has decided that the video upload service will be permanently discontinued on Friday, July 20; this means users will no longer be able to upload videos with their Course Guide descriptions.
Videos that have already been posted will continue to work whenever the same instructor teaches the same class, until it is removed by the department or the instructor.
Instructors will still have the option to upload a syllabus, photograph, and biography.
Course Guide questions should be directed to the SR training team.
