Some Academic Affairs News…
Academic Affairs Committee November 16th. 2009, 2:08pmHello All–
Quick update on what I’ve been working on as apart of the Academic Affairs committee. After going to the First Year Orientation Debrief, an idea was introduced to have a student on the committee that selects the book that First Years read over the summer before school starts. I met with Dean Lindsey who welcomed it as a good idea. Last night, I brought it to the SGA body, and we elected Alison Ford as our student representative to the Reading Initiative Committee. So Congrats to her!
Along with Terry, we have worked very hard with the Registrar’s Office to get a cabinet that would have some popular registrar forms placed in Mather. Hopefully, it will be by the post office so that students can drop off the forms at the post office and send it through inter-campus mail. Thanks to Patricia McGregor for working with us to make this possible.
If anyone would like to have more forms other than the ones that are already online to be online, please email me or straight to the registrar, Patricia McGregor, with your suggestion. She is very open to uploading most forms that can be put online on the registrar’s website.

Good work, Becca and Acads. This is cool.
What would it mean to put “all” of the forms online? Also does this mean any of the forms can be completed online?
Trincoll is low on funds as well all know. Stuff like this is awesome because it costs nothing (probably a slight cash saver in the long run, actually), but is a great convenience for students.
So I’m for having them put everything online, even if none of the forms can be completed electronically. The only reason I can think of “why not” to do so would be if they are busy….but I’m sure they can find time for this if we think it will help students (I do!)

Hey Adam,
The Registrar’s Office is welcome to putting all forms online that do not require those multiple slips that the respective offices really need.
The forms that are online can be printed out, filled out, and then returned to the Registrar’s office or sent to them through intercampus mail. They can’t be sent in online because most of them require a signature.
The Registrar’s office is working hard to make this happen with us. Hopefully, it will be successful when everything comes into place!
