Meeting & Agendas

The motion to approve the minutes with changes was made by Cathy Angell with a second by Kathleen Christensen. The motion to approve the minutes with corrections carried.

The grid with pros and cons of the student online withdrawal was distributed along with the good standing checklist (see attached). Tobin explained the checklist would be available online at all times. Instructors may withdraw student and reinstate student. Students may also visit instructor in person in order to explain why he/she should be reinstated. The timeline for the online withdrawal proposal to take effect is subject to the Student Services Council. After approval, Information Technology staff will build the program for Datatel. Students would be required to give a reason for withdrawing and online withdrawal would not eliminate in-person withdrawal. Automating the process will take care of large numbers of students. Mary Parker and Tobin Quereau will be available to make presentations to other councils and committees. After further discussion, a motion to approve a formal resolution for online student withdrawal was made by Cathy Angell with a second by Ann Palmer. A friendly amendment was made by Kathleen Christensen to remove shared governance from the wording of the resolution. The motion was approved with the amendment. SASC will send the resolution to Student Services Council. The Student Services Council will decide to which councils and committees to forward the resolution. The resolution is as follows: RESOLUTION On RECOMMENDATION TO ADOPT A STUDENT INITIATED AUTOMATED WITHDRAWAL SYSTEM After discussion and consideration of relevant information and based on the minutes from a subcommittee regarding the advisability of allowing registered students at Austin Community College to withdraw on-line and by vote of the Student Access and Success Committee, It is hereby recommended that the Student Services Council and other appropriated bodies consider implementation of an automated system whereby eligible students may withdraw on-line from their credit courses.
