  18. Course RegistrationInteraction between student and advisor

  19. Registration Hold (aka Advisor’s Hold) • Registration Hold (checkbox) can be: • Checked • Unchecked • Checked – in this case a student is not able to add/drop a course • when a student has sent the schedule for approval • when an advisor has approved the student’s schedule • when the hold is manually put by an advisor for some reason • Unchecked – in this case a student is able to add/drop a course • when the schedule has been denied by an advisor • when the hold is manually removed by an advisor

  20. Advising Status • Not Registered – student has not yet registered for any course • Changed – waiting for student’s action, i.e. student registered for some courses, but has not sent the schedule for approval yet • Pending – student sent the schedule for approval to the advisor; the advisor is required to check the schedule, then either approve or deny it. • Approved – the student’s schedule has been approved by the advisor • Denied – the student’s schedule has been denied by the advisor

  21. Processing of Schedule Approval Request • Find the students with the Pending status in the advisees’ list • Double click on such a student to see the enrolled courses • If the enrolled courses • fit the student’s degree plan, click Approve • do not fit the student’s degree plan, click Deny, and provide a reason.

  22. Pending Registration • Students who are taking a pre-requisite in the current term • Registration for an upper-level course is recorded with Pending status • After the final grades have been posted, students are either dropped from or added to the course that’s been registered as pending • Pending registration is counted into the credits enrolled until it’s checked

  23. Retake Policy • Retaking a course is granted for a student who receives a grade that would prevent academic progress in his or her program of study • No limit to the number of times a student may retake a course • No limit to the number of eligible courses for which retakes are permitted • All attempts remain in the student’s record and on the transcript • Only the last retake is counted in the final CGPA and total earned credits

  24. Academic Policies and Procedures • min 24ECTS (underload is permitted only with an approval from the Dean and Vice Provost) • max 36ECTS (overload is permitted only with an approval from the Dean and Vice Provost for Academic Affairs) • Withdrawal only once for the same course • Under no circumstances may a student be on academic probation more than two consecutive semesters or for more than three semesters in total • Academic warning notice after the midterm status reports

  25. Advising notes • Demonstration on testregitsrar.nu.edu.kz

  26. Advising notes: recommendations • Process notes can most effectively protect advisors and the institution from the claim that • “no one told me,” or “I didn’t know.” 

  27. Advising notes: recommendations Topics to include to Advising notes: • What happened? Describe the student’s situation () • What was done? Describe when and why exception have been made (ex. withdrawal, requisite override) • What was suggested? Describe the recommendations given (ex. courses recommended for registration)
