The State Regents staff are currently in the preliminary stages of planning a spring workshop themed around student veterans issues. This workshop has traditionally been geared toward staff members who work as VA certifying officials, etc., but we would like to open it up to a broader audience, such as academic advisors, registrars, admissions officers, etc. In order to help us plan the most effective workshop, I would greatly appreciate it if you could take a moment to respond to this email and let me know: 1. Would you be interested in attending such a conference? (The registration fee would be small.) 2. What kinds of student veterans-related issues would you like to hear about? 3. Do you have any recommendations for speakers, breakout sessions, etc.? I appreciate you taking the time to give valuable input as we plan this workshop. Best, Kyle Foster, M.S.

These revisions are effective beginning with the Fall 2016 academic term. The revisions to the State Regents' Assessment and Remediation policies combine the two policies into one and incorporate changes to align with current terms used nationally regarding student assessment and remediation. The Remediation policy will be deleted due to its incorporation into the Assessment policy to create a single policy document addressing both assessment and remediation of student learning. Below is a summary of the substantive changes to the Assessment and Remediation policies: ? 3.19 - Title - The title of the policy was changed to reflect the combined Assessment and Remediation policies. ? 3.19.1 - Purpose - The policy revision adds a clear statement regarding the purpose of student assessment and remediation and includes a statement how to address students who have curricular and basic academic skills deficiencies. ? 3.19.2 - Definitions - The revisions update existing definitions to provide better guidance to institutions regarding policy language and add definitions to the policy for the following terms: Accountability and Institutional Effectiveness; and Concurrent Enrollment. ? 3.19.3 - Principles - The revisions update the policy for improvement of teaching and learning, accountability for institutional effectiveness, and developmental education. ? 3.19.4.B - Basic Academic Skills Requirements - The revision in this section includes updating policy language and adds "high school assessments predictive of college course success" as an option for students to demonstrate competency in addition to use of ACT scores in the four subject areas of science, English, mathematics, and reading. ? 3.19.4.D - Adult Students - New section added to provide a policy statement regarding assessment and remediation of adult students. ? 3.19.8 - Assessment Plan and Reporting - The section was restructured to provide guidance regarding institutional assessment plans and annual student assessment reports. An important component of the policy implementation includes the development of procedures for the Academic Affairs Procedures Handbook. Over the course of the next few months, the Council on Instruction handbook committee will develop procedures that align with the aforementioned policy revisions to provide increased guidance to institutions with regard to assessment and remediation of student learning. For your reference, the updated policy is attached. Please let me know if you have any questions. Saludos, Jos? Jos? Dela Cruz, M.Ed.
