Program Advising Guide - 20-21 Issue/Fix in Progress

Counselors,

We have discovered that, due to some programming issues, changes to the online catalog have caused ENGL Foundation, Math Foundation, or both NOT to show up on some of the 2020-2021 Program Advising Guides’ course sequences. 

We are aware of this problem and are trying to correct it as soon as possible.  The online catalog is CORRECT but for some reason when the information is being pulled into the Program Advising Guides these course are disappearing.  At the bottom of this email, I have included a list of the Program Advising Guides impacted by this issue.  If you find this error in a guide not listed below, please email me so it can be fixed.

Students in the degree programs listed below should be referred to the online catalog which is currently the most accurate source of curriculum materials.  If a student has printed out one of these Program Advising Guides, please have them destroy their copy and obtain the corrected one when they become available.

Also, due to circumstances beyond my control, updates to the Advising Worksheets for the 2020-2021 academic year have been delayed. 

The anticipated publication date is now August 15, 2020.  If you have provided new students with the 2019-2020 Advising Worksheets, please let them know that the updated Advising Worksheets for 2020-2021 should be available by the middle of next month.

As soon as the Program Advising Guides are corrected and the Advising Worksheets updated, I will send out email notifications.

I appreciate everyone’s patience and assistance as these issues are resolved.

Updating of Online Counseling Resources

Counselors,

As the college transitions to the new website, you will notice several changes to the look of the online Counseling Resources.

1.        The new website highlights the Program Advising Guides (https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/academics/program-advising/advising-guides.html) and Program Advisor pages (https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/academics/program-advising/index.html)

2.       You will notice the Advising Worksheets have been removed from the Program Advising Guides.  This is to reduce duplicating work on the part of the curriculum staff.  The Program Advising Guides now draw there catalog information directly from the current college catalog.  Every Program Advising Guide has a link on them that corresponds to the program’s Advising Worksheet which are still maintained by Counseling.

Example: EVERY Program Advising Guide has a link on page 1: To view the Advising Worksheet, please visit https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/_documents/counseling-andadvising/advising-worksheets/current-catalog/608.pdf

This change is to encourage counselors, program advisors, and staff to provide EVERY student a print out of the Program Advising Guide for their desired major and then click the link to the Advising Worksheet on the Program Advising Guide and also print out the Advising Worksheet.

3.       The Advising Worksheet index is being completely overhauled in the month of June so you may notice some glitches.  The links that currently work reliably are the ones on the Program Advising Guide.  You can preview the new Advising Worksheet index at: https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/counseling-and-advising/advising-worksheets/index.html

4.       The new Advising Worksheet index will replace the old one (http://cms.montgomerycollege.edu/EDU/plain.aspx?id=15000) sometime before July 1^st.

5.       After July 1^st, if you locate any “glitches” please email them to me so that they can be fixed.

Thanks to everyone for their patience during this transition.
