INSIDE DOUGLAS COLLEGE / JANUARY 22, 1991

 

 

 

Public Meetings Scheduled: Registration Priorities

proposal to revise the current
registration priorities was rejected
by the Education Council at the
September 1990 meeting. Council
did believe that some changes to
the current priority system were
warranted.

To refresh people’s memories,
the rejected proposal recom-
mended six items as follows:

1. GPA registration for returning
students;

2. New student registration time
assigned by date of application;

3. Advance registration for closed
enrollment programs;

4. Re-application for students who
had been absent for more than a
two-year span. Appointment
times would be determined for
these students by the date of
re-application;

5. Grades to be submitted within
72 hours to facilitate calculation
of a term GPA;

6. No advance registration for any
group of students, except
visually and hearing impaired
students.

Item #1 was rejected outright.

The task force group which
drafted the original proposal was
charged by the Education Council
with reviewing the situation again.
To that end, the Council recom-
mended that the task force set up
public forums for oral presenta-
tions, and in addition, allow in-
dividuals or departments to
present written submissions. All
submissions would be reviewed,
and a new proposal would be
presented to the Education Coun-
cil for its consideration.

Therefore, please be advised
that two public meetings have
been scheduled. The date, times
and places are as follows:

DATE TIME
Feb. 5/91 2:15-4:00 p.m.
Feb. 6/91 4:15-6:00 p.m.

Submissions will be heard on
a first come, first served basis at
the public meetings. Everyone is
encouraged to present submis-
sions to the Committee. The Com-
mittee would appreciate written
material to accompany any oral
presentation. Written submissions

PLACE
Room 2201
Room 2203

may also be sent directly to the
Chair, Trish Angus, no later than
February 15, 1991.

All recommendations should
consider implementation issues.
The Committee looks forward to
input from the College to assist in
formulating a new proposal. @
