Duluth updates (January 2016)

Duluth Reverse Transfer Agreement Pilot
Twenty-six students have authorized the ongoing sharing of their records with Lake Superior College (LSC) as a part of the pilot Reverse Transfer Agreement. Both LSC and UMD have signed agreements with the National Student Clearinghouse for transfer of data and we look forward to those next steps in the process to automate the sharing of records.

AACRAO International
Joanna McCord, Sarah Hatfield, and Carla Boyd just returned from the three day AACRAO International Educational Services Winter Institute (a new country every hour) plus a two day workshop on China and India educational systems and credit. They have an enormous number of new resources to share and information nuggets gleaned. If anyone working with international credit is interested, they are happy to share what they are putting together based upon these experiences.

Kudos
Thank you to Travis Trautman, his team, and the security team for updating over 400 Duluth faculty and staff records so they could run the APAS (Academic Progress Audit System) report for any student. This has been tremendously well received by faculty and staff, with many great feedback emails. Thanks ASR and OIT teams!

Comings and goings

  • The Duluth Financial Collections Office will be welcoming Shirley Kortekaas to our office on January 25 as the new principal account specialist. Shirley comes to us most recently from UMD’s Dining Center as a senior cashier.
  • Jodi Lieske (degree services specialist in the Duluth Registrar’s Office) has accepted a position in the College of Education and Human Service Professions effective February 1. She will be advising students and serving as a systems specialist. She has tremendous expertise in PCAS, ECAS, and APAS and will continue to be a tremendous resource for us all with the added benefit of even more direct contact with students.
