GENED IN DEGREE NAVIGATOR

[Posted:June 11, 2012]

Effective: June 11, 2012

• Student Type: You (and students) will be able to easily identify students as CORE vs. GenEd by looking at the student’s name in DN. Specifically, GenEd students will have a [G] after their name, and CORE students will have a [C] after their name (e.g., Joe Smith [G]).




• Student Courses: You will only see one set of course codes, GenEd –or– CORE, for any given student. So if a student is GenEd, you will only see courses with GenEd codes for that student.




• Searching for students by name: In order to easily identify students as CORE or GenEd, we ended up appending “[C]” and “[G]” to students’ last names (as indicated above). This means that if you try to search for a student by last name, you would need to know whether the student was C/G when you type the last name for the search (e.g., you would have to type “Smith [C]” in order to get a match for “Smith”). To avoid having to type in the C/G at the end of a name, just add the asterisk (*) wildcard to the end of the last name when searching by last name (e.g., to find Smith, enter in Smith*).

 

MAY 2012 DEGREE CLEARANCE MODE in Degree Navigator

[Posted:May 23, 2012]

Effective: 5/24/2012 – 6/25/2012

Degree Navigator will operate in degree clearance mode beginning Thursday, May 24, 2012, and will continue in this mode through June 25, 2012.

This means that only courses that have been completed with appropriate grades will be applied to audits for any student who has applied to graduate in Spring 2012; any future enrollments (e.g., Summer 2012) and current courses with no grades will NOT be applied to audits for these students.

Students who have applied to graduate and are subsequently not cleared in SIS: this should be reflected in the next day's download; as such, on the day following a 'not cleared' entry in SIS, 'regular' DN functionality will resume (i.e., future enrollments and current courses with no grades will be applied to audits).

DN OUTAGE in AoW

[Posted:April 7, 2011]

Degree Navigator will not be available for a portion of the morning on Tuesday, April 12, 2011; it will be available by 11AM on that day. [Note that this will not impact Advise on the Web – AoW will be available its usual hours that day]

CMNS USERS in AoW

[Posted:December 16, 2010]

If you have access to CLFS or CMPS for AoW search (i.e., you select CLFS or CMPS as a search college), please note that you will soon see “CMNS” as an option when you enter AoW search.

 The CMNS college code becomes effective 201105. Therefore, once CMNS appears as a college option in Aow, you will need to take the following into consideration:

• If you are searching for students in your college for a term prior to 201105, you will need to select your former college (i.e., CLFS or CMPS)




• If you are searching for students in your college for 201105 or later, you will need to select the new college (i.e., CMNS). [N.B. There are already some students who will appear under CMNS - these are new students who have been admitted for Fall 2011.]

And, as always, if you see anything strange, or have any questions about how to access your students, please contact us at advisefeedback@umd.edu.

MINORS AVAILABLE IN AOW

[Posted:September 27, 2010]

You may now generate a list of all students pursuing minors that your college offers, regardless of what college their primary/double majors are in, by using the new ”Minor“ search field. This option will allow you to search for minors only, or, majors and minors in your college. This option will be most helpful for those who need to identify all students who are enrolled in a particular minor and have been prevented from doing this in the past due to restricted access to students outside your college.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THIS FIELD: By selecting the “minors” option, you will retrieve ALL students enrolled in minor programs that are associated with your college, regardless of what college students are associated with (based on major). For example, if you are an ARHU advisor and you select “minors”, you will retrieve a student whose primary major is in CMPS but is enrolled in an ARHU minor.

Using the new "Minor“ field:

• Majors in your college only: If you would like a list of students who are simply majors in your college, you will *not* need to include this new field in your search – simply conduct your search as you traditionally have.




• Majors in your college who are enrolled in a minor: If you would like to see what minors your students (i.e., students who are majors in your college) are enrolled in, you will *not* need to include this new field in your search – simply conduct your search as you traditionally have.




• All students enrolled in your college’s minor(s): If you would like a list of students enrolled in your college’s minor(s), select the new “Minor” search field, and then select “Minors”. This will provide you with a listing of students enrolled in minor programs in your college, regardless of what college their primary/double major is in.




• All students associated with your college (based on major and minor): If you would like to identify all students associated with your college, select “majors and minors” from the “Minor” search field. This will select all students who have a major OR minor associated with your college. NOTE that by selecting this option, you will retrieve students who may not have a primary/double major in your college; as such, your resultant list will be considerably larger when you select this option.

NEW RACE/ETHNICITY NOW AVAILABLE IN AOW

[Posted:May 19, 2010]

The following new race/ethnicity fields are now available in AoW:

• Race: This field will include all students, regardless of citizenship. It will include ALL races that a student selects (e.g., if a student selects ‘Black’ and ‘White’, you will see that the student selected both of these races).




• Race IRPA: This is the field IRPA will use for official reporting purposes. No specific race information will be reported for non-US citizens; they will show up as ‘foreign’, regardless of what race(s) they select. For US citizens, a MAXIMUM of one race will be reported for any given student (e.g., if a student selects ‘Black’ and ‘White’, that student will show up as ‘more than one race’).

Additional information can be found by using the “Field Help” and “?” functions associated with each field once you’re in AoW search.

[BACKGROUND ON NEW RACE/ETHNICITY: New federal guidelines have required significant changes to how race/ethnicity is stored in our campus databases. For more information on the new federal reporting requirements, please refer to IRPA's documentation on the use and interpretation of the new race/ethnicity data]
