This updates description texts on holds so that students see a quick link that takes them to a corresponding website, explaining why a hold is placed and how to clear it.

This is a partner project related to Academic Regulation 25 (Institutional Requirements for Baccalaureate Degrees [Undergraduate Students]) including Institutional Analytics & Reporting (IAR), Office of Admissions, and advisors. 

Upon applying to OSU, students can select their race and ethnicity.  The information being stored in Banner is extracted to provide information about our student populations in CORE reports.  Departments, colleges, cultural centers, leadership, etc. use this banner data and reporting in CORE to understand how to serve different populations of students. 

While OSU has operated a successful Summer Session program for over 60 years, this project aims to publish policy and procedure guidance for the university community to reference when determining suitability and compliance of course offerings.

This will also identify goals and areas of opportunity in the Summer Session program, in an effort to strengthen on-campus offerings in support of student success initiatives. 

Strategic Plan 4.0 Actions

Correct the job output for reporting students on honor roll and update the student records policy.

The schedule of jobs will be reviewed for relevancy, accuracy of parameters, and other details of historical context currently missing.  Create an annual schedule of jobs in AWA.

Following phase I, which included content review, phase II will include restructuring of the Office of the Registrar website to be more user-friendly.

The CLSS implementation will move the section scheduling process online improving access to important planning information and tools.  CLSS will help enforce institutional scheduling rules and protocols.   Improve coordination of course scheduling across multiple departments.  For example, the ability to programmatically avoid scheduling overlaps between required courses in an interdisciplinary program.  CLSS will provide intuitive online tools for visualizing schedule distribution, adding courses into valid meeting times and publishing to the student information

This project will align the Grader and Teaching Assistant policy with the Office of the Registrar guidelines on student access to other students’ education data and will implement the new policy within Canvas.

This will be a one-time change of policy and consequent processes. 

Strategic Plan 4.0 Actions*

• Integrate inclusive excellence principles and practices into all aspects of the university

*This project was prioritized during Strategic Plan 4.0

In academic year 2018-19, OSU rolled out “institutional awarding” for undergraduate students, which involved undergraduate/post-baccalaureate students no longer applying to graduate. Instead, the office of the registrar and college advising staff use degree audit data to determine when a student becomes a candidate for graduation. This transition affected a number of processes related to advising, degree conferral, commencement, etc. This effort was considered Phase I of Institutional Awarding.
