New guide to ASR help desks
If you have ever been confused about which ASR service unit to contact, you’ll appreciate this new ASR Service Unit Crosswalk. ASR has nearly a dozen service units, and sometimes it’s hard to know which one you should turn to for assistance. This guide has a crosswalk format with student services on one side and staff services on the other. Use this chart to determine which unit to contact with your question, or which unit you should refer to a student.
Caucus night
Tuesday, February 25, 2020 is caucus night. Per Board of Regents resolution, the University may schedule classes or events on caucus night with the Board’s authorization, however students and/or instructors are permitted to attend their party’s caucus night if they wish. Students must notify their instructor in advance, and instructors are expected to accommodate their requests. If enough students indicate that they will be attending their caucus so that holding class becomes impractical, instructors may cancel the class or make alternative arrangements.
Recent APAS enhancement
A recent enhancement to APAS allows advisors to view the APAS reports run by students.
When the new APAS launched on July 1, 2019, there was an additional function that allowed people to retain and view past run reports. The view of these reports, however, was limited to only those run by people with the same level of access to the system (e.g., advisors could only see reports run by other advisors).
Since then, advisors have provided feedback that it would be useful to see the reports students ran in order to better support them. With the recent enhancement, advisors will now be able to reference the same information their advisees are referencing.
These student-run reports will appear in the same “Completed APAS Requests” page as reports advisors have previously ran for the student. An important distinction to note is that student-run APAS reports are only retained for seven days. However, students will continue to be able to view only reports they run themselves.
