We have a course that we offer in both 2000 and 3000 level on our campus. The students decide if they want to enroll in the 2000 towards the AAS degree or the 3000 level towards the BT degree. The courses offer the same elements but there is an additional learning component for the 3000 level course. I believe to avoid confusion, that the names should be different by either adding "advanced" or level 2. Does anyone else out there have the same situation? What do you think, how do you handle this issue? Any advice would be great. Thanks, [cid:image002.jpg at 01CBCC67.06AE86F0] Genie Trammell Interim Registrar Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology 1801 East 4th Street Okmulgee, Oklahoma 74447-3901 P 918-293-5274 F 918-293--4614 genie.trammell at okstate.edu "The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you."

This email serves as a reminder to register (if you have yet to do so) to attend the 15th Annual ACT Southwest Region Conference on College Readiness and Success. This year's conference will be held at the historic La Mansion Del Rio located directly on the famous San Antonio Riverwalk. The conference is uniquely scheduled to begin the afternoon of Wednesday April 6th and conclude after Friday morning brunch on April 8th. The 15th annual conference requires only a two night stay and coincides with the internationally recognized Fiesta San Antonio cultural celebration. More information about this popular event can be found here: Fiesta This informative ACT conference will provide you and your staff with a great low-cost opportunity for professional development as well as an opportunity to experience what many consider one of the best "cultural festivals" in the world. As a non for profit partner of higher education, ACT is sensitive to budget constraints that many are experiencing. Thus, we are able to offer this conference at a very low cost of $150.00 per person. This cost includes four excellent meals. The conference agenda can be viewed by clicking on the registration link at this website : Conference Registration The 15th Annual ACT Southwest Conference will provide post secondary administrators, from both student and academic affairs, with the opportunity to "recharge" after a long winter and learn more about best practices associated with testing/assessment , student recruitment, course placement, remediation and retention related strategies. All session presenters are post secondary administrators who will share expert insight relative to how they have been successful in achieving critical institutional goals on their respective campuses. An informative enrollment management/admissions related track is included that will focus on strategic enrollment management strategies associated with recruitment and retention. Much of the conference will focus on how ACT's programs and services, specifically the COMPASS internet version, can strategically be used to enhance student success initiatives associated with recruitment, placement, advancement and retention. This conference has grown in attendance each year as it provides a wide array of campus administrators with an opportunity to gather valuable information relative to what others across the nation are doing to ensure college readiness, increase student persistence and enhance overall institutional effectiveness. If you are unable to attend, please forward this email to any other administrator or staff member that you believe would benefit from attending. Please note that there is a limited number of hotel rooms available to conference attendees at $149.00 per night. These are quickly filling so be sure to secure a room asap as we expect to fill our allotment before the hotel registration deadline of March 14th (one month away!). San Antonio experiences some phenomenal tourism trends during Fiesta week so alternate lodging options will be limited. You can contact the hotel at 210-518-1000 to rsvp and mention the ACT GROUP rate. Or simply click on this link to register on-line La Mansion Del Rio . We are looking forward to seeing all past attendees, and a significant number of new attendees, this spring in festive San Antonio.

In the meantime, here's a quick question/favor... We've recently had some questions/concerns expressed by some student groups who are questioning our recent changes requiring students to change their password every 90 days as well as concerning the added stipulations/requirements for the password (such as character length, using alpha & numeric characters, case sensitivity, etc.). We also have security questions set up to assist students to have their password reset. For reference, here is a link detailing our current efforts: http://www.uco.edu/technology/support/improved-security.asp Well, believe it or not, some students feel this is quite excessive (even though we're trying to protect their security), so I thought I would ask for some responses from you concerning your institutions' recent efforts to improve security as well as comply with FERPA requirements about PIN numbers and authentication. If anyone wouldn't mind sharing a bit about what your institution has done to address these issues, it would help us articulate that to our students to show that 1) UCO isn't picking on its students as other institutions are utilizing similar methods for security, and 2) we're doing this in their best interest!

We will coordinate three activities on this same date so institutions can travel together to save expenses. The three activities will be: 1) Prior Learning Assessment training for faculty. 2) BS Organizational Leadership Core Course Reviews 3) Bridge Program Development (AA/AS to BS Org Leadership transition courses) Explanation of each activity: 1) Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) training. A professional from the Council on Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) will provide training for up to 5 faculty from each institution. All training materials and lunch will be provided. In addition, we will provide a $200 stipend for those participating in the training and the remainder of the day's activities. Participants will be expected to be actively engaged in the training and report back to their institutions on knowledge gained, as well as applications for students at their institution. This is the basic PLA training CAEL has provided to our system in the past, so this is appropriate for faculty who have NOT been through any CAEL training before. This training will involve the majority of the day. 2) BS Organizational Leadership Core Course Reviews. All faculty from all universities that teach any of the core courses for the Organizational Leadership program are expected to attend meetings for their specific course. Faculty teaching the courses will review learning objectives and assignments, texts and resources used for the course, consistent syllabi information, and other issues regarding the course for improved instruction and learning. Each faculty attending their core course review(s) and the remainder of the day's activities will be provided a $200 stipend. This activity will take most of the morning for most faculty, but Data Analysis faculty will meet all day on their course. 3) Bridge Program Development. As we increase our activities to move students to become degree holders at the associate level, we also want to provide a statewide seamless pathway to the baccalaureate. Students must have 72 credit hours for admission into the BS Organizational Leadership (ORGL) program. We also know there are some BS ORGL core courses that have proven very difficult for students due to lack of adequate preparation. This is an opportunity to envision what courses would be good preparation for those more difficult courses as well as consider other content areas that would better prepare AA/AS degree holders for the BS ORGL or other baccalaureate programs. It is most appropriate for faculty teaching the core courses to build the bridge program, as well as a few two-year faculty who can provide the AA/AS perspective of transitioning students. This activity will take most of the late morning and all afternoon. BS ORGL faculty who complete their core course review will join the bridge program development discussion or may join the PLA discussion, if they have not been through CAEL training, for the remainder of the day. Notes: A. Individuals participating in any or all of the activities listed above for the full day are entitled to a $200 stipend. There are no partial stipends for attendance at portions of the activities. B. A stipend of $150 per participant will be provided by OSRHE and shall be used solely to fund travel related expenses for the Institutional Representative to attend the Reach Higher Professional Development workshop on March 25, 2011, if traveling 60 or more miles from the institution. This is expected to cover hotel costs for any staff traveling Thursday night in preparation for the Friday meeting. If institutional representatives travel together and do not incur hotel expenses, the stipend will be provided for each vehicle, regardless of the number of travelers, if traveling 60 or more miles from the institution. Instructions: Please submit one registration form per institution on the form attached to this email (one form for colleges and one form for universities). It is expected that Coordinators and chief academic officers will consult together on appropriate institutional representatives, and then send one registration form for their institution no later than Monday, March 7, 2011 for planning purposes. A draft agenda for the day is also attached. If anyone needs directions to Rose State College, their website is: www.rose.edu For questions from faculty or staff regarding the Reach Higher initiative, refer them to the website www.reachhigheroklahoma.org; if they still have questions, they can contact me. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. I'm looking forward to the day and continuing our work to help Oklahomans Reach Higher! Debbie Blanke, Ed.D.
