d a c A l a u Ann 2011 – 2012
The College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences welcomed a new staff member this past November. Lacie Semenovich, formerly a Campus411 (now All-in-1) student service specialist, replaced Michelle Chinoda as an academic advisor in the CLASS Advising Center. Lacie brings with her a wealth of CSU knowledge and a wonderful team spirit. With this change in staffing, the caseloads were restructured to distribute students equitably amongst the college’s advisors. Although each advisor is trained specifically to address the university and college requirements, caseloads based on majors within CLASS allow the advisor to become a liaison to their departments/schools and provide continuity in advising for their students.

Highlights This academic year, the average CLASS advisor caseload was 800 current students plus an average of 70-90 additional “pre advising” students. (Pre advising students are non-matriculated students interested in transferring to CSU.) This academic year also saw the highest numbers posted in advising appointments since the inception of the Center in 2007. Usage data can be found on the following pages. The CLASS Advising Center continued with its participation in recruitment and enrollment events, assisting the Office of Admission and Enrollment Services in meeting and exceeding their enrollment goals. Advisors visited the three Cuyahoga Community College campuses, Lakeland and Lorain Community Colleges, and participated in Fall Visit Day, Spring Open House, and Junior’s Day. The Center continues to work with Enrollment Services on strategic graduation cohort goals for first time, full time freshmen. The 2006 CLASS freshman year cohort exceeded the university graduation goal of 30% by reaching an over 40% graduation rate. The work continues on the 2007 cohort, and this past spring semester the 2008 cohort was added to the Center’s responsibilities. The graduation goal for cohort 2007 is 32% and the goal for the 2008 cohort is set at 40%. Targeting first time, full time students, the Center does continual outreach to keep these students on track with their degree programs and assists them in graduating within the six year IPEDS reporting timeframe. Taking into account “graduated”, “graduation application submitted” and “projected graduation” for both the 2007 and 2008 cohort students, the anticipated final graduation numbers suggest that CLASS will achieve and exceed each cohort’s set goal. In addition to the Center’s current outreach strategies and in an attempt to provide more intrusive advising, our graduate intern from the Adult Learning and Development Master’s program implemented a “senior graduation application project.” Each semester, our intern reviewed copies of graduation applications that had been submitted, routed and notated through all appropriate offices. The intern compared the graduation application plan to the student’s current course schedule to ensure no deviation from the
application had taken place. If it had, the intern with the assistance of a CLASS advisor, did immediate outreach to discuss and/or make appropriate changes to the graduation plan. This type of outreach ensures each senior is making appropriate progress and helps to eliminate any last minute roadblocks to the goal of graduation. The Center also collaborated with CLASS departments/schools/ programs and the Office of the Registrar on establishing upper division transfer credit equivalencies to allow credits to transfer in as CSU major credits. This allows for more accurate transfer credit evaluations and minimizes duplication of course registration. This new information is currently being uploaded into Degree Audit, which will make for a more consistent and accurate tool for both advisor and student. The Center continued offering limited weekly walk-in appointments throughout the year. Advisors offered 23 hours in the fall and 28 hours in the spring of weekly walk-in time. The tremendous success of students using this option, as opposed to scheduled appointment times, ensures the continuation of this service for the next academic year.

2011–2012 CLASS Advising Center Usage Report Each year the Advising Center has seen growth in its activities. During this past year, the Center’s appointment totals were at the highest level they have been since the Center’s 2007 inception. The Center is experiencing growth not only in advising appointments, but also in drop by traffic (visits not resulting in an appointment) and lobby computer usage. Walk-in traffic surrounding the beginning of a new semester is slightly down. This may be attributed to the additional walk-in hours available throughout the semester. This drop is positive in that students who procrastinate registering until the very start of a semester are using our more convenient weekly walk-in availability, thus taming the huge demand for advising assistance the Center experienced during these times in the past. With the implementation of the Center’s telephone tree, students are being directed to use the online scheduling system which has dramatically increased in usage, allowing the front desk time to handle other important responsibilities and necessary duties for efficient student service.

CLASS Probation and Dismissal Review (PDR) At the conclusion of each semester, the CLASS Academic Standards Committee (ASC) meets to review the status of those CLASS students deemed “subject to review�. These students either had a term GPA below 1.0 and/or a cumulative GPA below 2.0. Students reviewed by the ASC have earned 60 credits or fewer. The committee also reviews students who have earned over 60 credits for the same criteria who were NOT on probation the previous semester. Students who met the criteria above and earned over 60 credits and were on probation the previous term of enrollment had their academic status determined by the Office of the Registrar. This report also contains the major/program of those dismissed by the CLASS ASC.

Walk-in Tracking Totals 2011–2012 Two to three weeks leading up to the start of each semester and into the first two weeks of classes, the CLASS Advising Center moves from an appointment based system (with limited walk-in hours) to a first-come, first-served system in order to accommodate the rush of students seeking advising assistance. These weeks are the busiest times of year for the Center as students need assistance with planning a schedule, changes to schedules, completing Satisfactory Academic Progress forms for financial aid reinstatement, change of major/minor forms, petition assistance, and starting the graduation application process.

College to College Transfers Processed In an effort to educate newly transferred students that CLASS Advising Center is their home advising office, and to educate students in the CLASS Foreign Language Requirement, each student who transfers in from another CSU college receives a letter outlining the services available in the Advising Center. A flier outlining the University’s Foreign Language Deficiency and CLASS’s Foreign Language Requirement is included with this letter. Summer 2011: 82

Academic Advising has been eliminated from on-campus Transfer Orientation Day. Instead, each transfer student is encouraged to meet with their CLASS advisor in the CLASS Advising Center prior to the start of the new semester for full transfer transcript evaluation and assistance with course scheduling.
Advisor Alert Tracking and Outreach The advisor alert system in CampusNet allows instructors of students in academic jeopardy to contact the student’s home advising office. In turn, the advising office does outreach on each alert received in order to assist the student in remedying their challenges by referring them to academic support offices available on campus, in the hope that the student successfully completes their course.

For placement information in languages other than French and Spanish, please contact the Department of Modern Languages at 216-‐687-‐4646. *Even if your foreign language requirement has been met you should consider the benefits of further language study. By building on previous knowledge to maintain or improve language proficiency you can earn “retro credit” that may count toward a minor or a second major (some majors also require further language study such as International Relations, International Business, Art History, etc.). The Retroactive Foreign Language Policy is for students whose first college course in a foreign language is taken at CSU. If you receive a B-‐ or better in the course, credit will be granted for previous courses. For example, if you had two years of Spanish in high school and take SPN 201 at CSU and receive a “B”, you can apply for retro credit and receive a total of 14 credit hours (4 for SPN 201 and 10 hours for SPN 101 and SPN 102). Contact the Department of Modern Languages for more information: 216-‐687-‐4646.
