In accordance with Senate Bill 233, the other public post-secondary institutions are establishing a common course numbering system for introductory and lower-level courses with similar learning outcomes.

A microcredential is a set of courses in a focused area of study. Microcredentials are narrowly focused on specific skills and competencies and when completed, provide validation of the skills and competencies achieved. Microcredentials are made up of at least three courses and eight credits. Typically, they are 8-12 credits, which is fewer credits than degrees and certificates and can be earned in a shorter period.

Microcredentials are awarded digitally through a badging system that can be shared with employers.

Office of the Registrar is a partner in this project with Academic Programs & Assessments to add all course learning outcomes to the Curriculum Inventory Management (CIM) software.

The obtainment of the CIM system that supports a robust submission and review process, will ensure consistent, level-appropriate, and measurable outcomes in all syllabi. In addition, the course learning outcomes provide important transparency for the transferability of courses for students and any potential accreditation needs. 

This project will improve the communication and education for students and advisors regarding the processes involving students’ academic standing including the different marks/grades and their impact on the process, such as Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory, Pass/No Credit, and Withdrawal (passing).

In addition, this will develop a similar academic standing calculation process for completed terms as the current term and communication for notifying students when academic standing for past terms changes. 

Creation of an Automic Workload Automation (AWA) job for automation of the processing when students exceed the maximum of individual course withdrawals allowed per the Academic Regulations (AR) 12 (Withdrawal from Individual Classes) and AR 13 (Withdrawal from the Term) and provide an automated solution for withdrawal from the term requests made by students.

The communications to students and key offices such as International Services and OtR Athletics will also be automated.
