Therefore, 2nd and 3rd year topics will be changing so don’t enroll into any of them.
There will be a COMPULSORY academic counseling session in October 2010 to go through study plans

19. Enrolment Complete CAF Enrol into topics according to Course Handbook
Register into ALL classes required
Go into the Student system to show them what it looks like. Refer to the enrolment booklet. Place on the overhead projector
Topic they need to enrol in are listed in the Handbook. Enrol into both first and second semester topics to ensure they get into all the classes they want.
Talk about importance of registering into all classes.
Not to worry about wait listing for second semester will be dealt with in July by the office.
Wait listing will be dealt with for semester one by the end of February.
Inform them of enrolment support but also that I am happy to answer any questions

20. Access to Topics FLO presence Library assignment
Credit for Prior Learning
Last date to enrol
Census date
Show students how to access FLO. Inform them that they will have access as from the 22nd Feb.
Let them know that this is not a social networking site. Discuss the need for particular care of the Discussion board. Use the workplace example – right only what you would want your boss (academic) to read.
Discuss Library Assignment and the value of the assignment
Discuss the credit for Prior Learning
Inform them of the last day to enrol into topics so the need to get credit established early
Let them know what census date means

21. Mentoring Program 2010 starting a Pilot Program
Program is for only 8 weeks
Voluntary but strongly advisable
One Focus group session
Discuss how it will work.
1 continuing student to approx 10 1st years. They are there for advise and guidance. Not for helping you with writing assignments or helping you with your homework.
Take advantage of their experiences that they had in first year.
Good way to meet a new person, so important in this new environment.
Discuss the Focus group that will help them to understand how to conduct themselves with the academics. Use the example of Dougie.
