Subject: RE: PHYS203- assesement level

 

I just got off the phone with Dr. Zwi and he also said that if any student completes MATH150 with a C or better that it is OK if we counselors give the student an override to take PHYS203.  He also suggested that we ask students to complete the SET prerequisite override form which is available on their website, see below, and that this is the most efficient way for a student to get a SET override.  Both he and Alla Webb review these requests.

Academic Restriction and Academic Suspension - Summer & Fall 2023

The temporary pause placed on Academic Restriction and Academic Suspension due to COVID remains in place through the Fall 2023 semester.  In other words, students on Academic Restriction (AR 7.3) are able to register without a hold and students on Academic Suspension (AR 7.4) are not required to sit out for summer (202340 or 202410) or fall 2023 (202420).

The restoration of 7.3 - Academic Restriction and 7.4 - Academic Suspension should start with students fall 2023 (202420) grades. Therefore, at the end of the fall 2023 semester, students on AR would have the registration hold placed on their accounts and students on AS would have to sit out for the spring semester. This proposed restoration is pending PAC approval.

For additional clarification, see current regulation attached. 

Feel free to contact me should you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Course renumbering change: CHEM109/CHEM109L => CHEM105/CHEM106

 

Chair colleagues,

We recently went through a numbering change to our general education chemistry courses. Please inform your faculty and program advisors of this change:

• CHEM109 Chemistry & Society lecture    => CHEM105 (3 cr, NSD, *GCP)
• CHEM109L Chemistry & Society Lab        => CHEM106 (1 cr, NSLD)

Students may take the lecture and lab courses concurrently; or they may complete the lecture and take the lab in any later term for the NSD/NSLD credit. Both lecture and lab are offered through Distance Learning and in-person on the Rockville campus. It’s a great course that introduces students to the impact of chemistry on our everyday lives, the products and materials we use, and the sustainability of our local and global environment.  CHEM105 lecture also has Global and Cultural Perspectives designation.  

The course renumbering change is effective for the Fall 2023 semester. However, our summer I schedule still reflects the CHEM109/CHEM109L numbering even though these numbers are no longer listed in the catalog. If the student wishes to take CHEM109/CHEM109L over the Summer, it will still count towards the science distribution.

Thanks,

Laura

Accounting Scholars Development Program (Summer Residential Program for Community College Students)

Please see the below opportunity for the Accounting Scholars Development Program (ASDP) that is open for community college business students. Please feel free to distribute to your students and your networks.

ASDP is a one-week on-campus residency program that exposes underrepresented minority community college students to the accounting profession. Throughout the week, scholars participate in focused, challenging, and interactive sessions that discuss leadership style, organizational culture, personal branding, and successfully navigating transitions. Scholars interact closely with faculty and students to understand the rigor of the accounting curriculum and demystify the transfer process to a four-year institution while emphasizing the CPA exam. Networking and mentoring opportunities are crucial components of site visits where professionals address how their academic work prepared them to become critical thinkers who resolve real-world problems.

ESL Guided Placement - Summer/Fall 2023 Update

• Students should have applied to the college and activated their MC email accounts.
  
  
• Students should only expect to complete this process once (per semester).
  
  
• Students should access the Guided placement process ONLY through the Assessment Center website, for two reasons.
  
  
• We’ve added some new features to this process this spring, and we had to change the link after the process was opened.  I hope that will be the last time, but just in case, please do not provide students with the link outside the Assessment Center webpage.
  
  
• Students who come to us unable to access the link, are often trying to use an outdated link which is closed. The link changes at least once per semester, to allow students to redo the process in subsequent semesters. Again, please send them to the Assessment Center page!
  
  
• When students do the process who are not yet in Starfish, their placements may be delayed.
