ecor Change in tuition refund appeals process, form For the past year. the One Stop Student Sen·iecs has been ,,·o1ling on a business process redes1gn in an effort to make the tuition refund appeals process more cffkt::IH and effectin~ tor students and staff

When rcYiewing appeals. staff want to be sympathetic to indi\·idual cases while also demonstrating fiscal responsibility. In order to achie\·e this balance. students with appron:d appeals will receiYe a refund of 75° o. 50° o or 25° o based on the amount oftime spent in class; '"W s" will remain on the academic record. 100° o refunds and rcmm·al ofWs from the transcript will be granted only in e\.ceptional cases. The definition of what is '·exceptional"' will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

A ne\\ appeal form is aYailable online at http: onestop.umn.edu onestop fonns.html under ··Registering for Classes:· Colleges should recycle their old forms. Debbie Henderson can also be contacted for copies of the new form at 612 IJ25-90 19-please reference form OTR/241.

APAS enhancements are live Enhancements to Advisers· access to APAS are now live.

Previously. advisers of record may have used Portfolio to gener-ate APAS reports for advisees; now. advisers will also be able to produce an APAS repmt by selecting the APAS link on the web page for each campus.

Advisers now have the ability to view a complete list of advisees through the APAS Advisor access.

Advisers may also run a ·'What If' APAS for any advisee. This repmt allows one to see v•.11at requirements have been completed should a student choose a cettain program. This is also called '·major shopping:·

Finally. advisers can quickly access a printable two column PDF version of a student"s APAS repmt. This produces a more compact repmt with fewer pages to print (Adobe Acrobat is required. available for dO\>vnload at http: 11www.adobe.com/productslacrobat/readstep2.html)

APAS users who are able to add excpetions to a student's APAS rep01t will need to change any bookmarks to APAS to the following link: https:lionestop2.umn.edu/dar\vin/login.jsp

There is also an online demonstration available which highlights the new enhancements. This demonstration is available on the One Stop faculty and staff homepages under .. Advising'' (see related atticle in sidebar.)

PCAS will be implemented this fall The Program and Curriculum Approval System (PCAS) will be implemented early this fall for lmdergraduate courses. PCAS is a database of program requirements, and will also serve as an approval system for new and changed programs: when it is live. PCAS will replace the paper-based approval process.

PCAS features a dynamic link with the Electronic Course Authorization System ( EC AS l and ensures that the infonnation contained in the database is always current and accurate.

\\.hen a course is updated in ECAS. it is automatically pulled into PC AS for the correct dates. This means changes and updates in ECAS should be completed prior to entering new courses into PC AS. PCAS can also be used to generate r::vrs reports and will have a direct feed to the online catalog.

The PCAS project team has received a list of names tl'om the colleges of staff who should receive training on PCAS. TI1ese individuals will be contacted regarding training in early September.

Questions about PCAS should be directed to Linda Ellinger at eUinOO U~ umn.edu.

ecor Graduate non-degree registration for spring 2006 Many students will soon be contacting the University regarding registering as nondegree seeking students and earning graduate credit. Typically. these students have been admitted for a future tenn or are thinking of applying to a graduate program and want to take classes that will transfer towards the degree once admitted.

Detailed infom1ation about this program can be found online at http://onestop.umn. eduonestop/imgiassets/9061 /PRDWebBrochure.pdf. As of December 2. students can submit a "'Request for Graduate Credit" forn1 to the department(s) offering the course(s) in which they are interested. If the department's Director of Graduate Studies or designee approves the course(s) for graduate credit the form is signed and forwarded to: One Stop Student Services. 219 19th Ave S .. Minneapolis. MN 55455-0427 or faxed to: 612-626-9129.

Questions concerning this registration option can be directed to Amy Monisey (612-624-6871. moni [email protected]) or Alison Frank-Quick (612-626-9116 or [email protected]).

Update on CAS import function Students \vill soon be able to contact a MnSCU (Minnesota State College and Universities) school tlu-ough MnCAS (Minnesota Course Applicability System) or one of the University of Minnesota campuses to request courses taken at that institution be imported into MnCAS. This new function will allow students to find out the acceptability (i.e .. if the course transfers) and applicability (what requirement!s the course fulfills) of those courses to an institution the student may be interested in transferring to.

Currently. users have two options of entering courses into MnC AS. One is tl·ee form. meaning the student types their courses in one at a time from a transcript. The second option is adding courses t)·om a course bank of courses offered at that institution. The new CAS import ftmction will significantly simplify this process for students. Questions about CAS? Contact Margo Mueller at m-muel@sossg\v.stu. unm.edu.

Fraser One Stop will dose early on December 22 The One Stop Student Services Center located in Faser Hall will close at 4:00p.m. on Thmsday. December 22 for a staff function.
