System Registrar Council (SRC) updates (May 2018)

New Incomplete Grade Contract workflow
A new Incomplete Grade Contract (WorkflowGen) is now available for students to use when receiving an Incomplete (I) grade. The goal was to make a form that students and instructors could choose to use if their academic department or college does not already have a process or form in place.

When a form is submitted, a copy is sent to Perceptive Content. Twin Cities collegiate stakeholders and the SRC weighed in last fall on common contract language. The next step in this project will be to update the form’s logic to route to separate drawers for the system campuses, making it usable by students and instructors system-wide.

2020 calendar change—move spring break for Twin Cities
SCEP approved the moving of spring break for March 2020 and forward. Spring break is currently scheduled for the second week of March with A-term before break and B-term following spring break. The move would result in the final Monday of A-term being after spring break. While there was no perfect option, this was the one that worked best for the A-term/B-term split. If approved by the Faculty Senate, the change would start with the spring break in 2020. The calendars currently published for 2019-2020 onward will be updated with any changes.

Diplomas
As students graduate this spring, their diplomas are now ordered weekly and processed each Monday. Batch posting of degrees starts May 18 and diploma orders for those degrees starts. Previously, the order would have been placed after the June 11 posting date. This means that the earlier students are cleared, the earlier they get their diploma.
