New ELAI 990-PSYC 102 Co-enrollment Pilot - Fall 2017

I am pleased to inform you that the Psychology discipline has just launched a co-enrollment pilot beginning in fall 2017 which will allow ELAI 990 students to co-enroll in any section of PSYC 102.  This 2-year student access pilot – based on 12 years of student success data – has been endorsed by SVP for Academic Affairs Sanjay Rai, Dean Darrin Campen (lead dean for Psychology), the Psychology chairs and faculty at all three campuses, and CAPDI.

As with the other co-enrollment pilots which have preceded this, students who register for ELAI 990 will be able to co-enroll for PSYC 102 on their own, without an override (though the Banner coding for this pilot may take a few weeks to complete, so please do issue overrides through the month of June as necessary). 

_____________

Finally, because there are a number of ongoing AELW 940/ELAI 990 co-enrollment pilots, I have provided a summary below to help keep things straight.  

The gist:  Students registered for ELAI 990 shall be permitted to co-enroll in CMAP 120, CHEM 131, ENES 100, BIOL 101, CHEM 109, and PSYC 102 (see the table below for notes on the start and end dates of each pilot).  These pilots are “Bannerized” so that no override is required.

Extra wrinkle:  Concurrent with the launch of the newly redesigned AELP/ELAP curriculum, in the fall of 2017 the operative AELP/ELAP course in these pilots will change from AELW 940 to ELAI 990.

Course	Notes
CMAP 120	The ELAI 990 assessment level for CMAP 120 is now permanent. The Computer Applications discipline submitted the CCC paperwork early this spring, and the proposal was approved at the March 31, 2017 Curriculum Committee meeting.
CHEM 131	This pilot, currently in its second year, will continue through the 2017-2018 academic year in order to gather more student data.  We anticipate that in the spring of 2018, the Chemistry discipline will be able to move forward with curriculum action to make the changes permanent.
ENES 100	This pilot will continue through the 2017-2018 academic year in order to gather more student data.  We anticipate that in the spring of 2018, the Engineering discipline will be able to move forward with curriculum action to make the changes permanent.
BIOL 101	This 2-year pilot will launch in the fall 2017 semester.
CHEM 109	This 2-year pilot will launch in the fall 2017 semester.
PSYC 102	This 2-year pilot will launch in the fall 2017 semester.

In addition to the above, the pilots for MATH 110-181 were completed three years ago – with outstanding results in terms of student success – and the piloted ELAI 990 assessment level was made permanent through Curriculum action in AY 2015-2016.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions, concerns or suggestions.

Thanks,

Mike
