1. Advisor Refresher Training Spring 2012
Academic Advising Center
Chambers Hall 109

2. The Very Latest
Chemistry/Physics Lecture and Lab—Students dropping the lecture portion can make their own decision about dropping the lab, it is not mandatory.
New AUT.COA
HRI 250 (Law for Hospitality) replaces HRI elective in both HRIH and HRIR.

3. Criminal Justice (Starting Fall 2011)
One GE Math Class and one GE 4-credit lab science are required.
SOC 225 and POS 231 are both mandatory
May choose SOC 131 or PSY 222.
Two GE SS Electives have been eliminated.
Students in earlier matriculation years can choose this format.
New format is included in 2012 degree audit.

4. Criminal Justice (Prior to Fall 2011)
Two GE Math courses or Two 4-credit GE Sciences (i.e. SCI 220 Forensic Science, SCI 155 Intro to Geology)
MAT 123 and 124 are recommended for CJ majors but students may take any two consecutive math courses, i.e. MAT 101 and 102 or MAT 129 and MAT 131.

5. Reviewing Change of Major
All change of major requests must be signed by an advisor and are processed by the Registrar’s Office after fee of $10.00 has been paid.
The following major designations are changed in Admissions: ESL, EX, HS, OC, OCNUR, OCPSR, OCRAD, OVRST, OCMD, VS.UN, and VSS.UN.

6. Health Technology Majors
The following majors are selective majors. Students cannot change to these majors, they must apply.
Majors include: Dental Hygiene (DHY.AAS), Nursing (NUR.AS), Medical Laboratory (MED.AAS) Radiography (RAD.AAS), and Respiratory Care (RST.AS).

7. Important Reminders (Developmental Courses)
When advising, be sure that the student has no remaining need for developmental courses. Developmental courses must be taken until completed with “C” or better.
Remember the 15 credit limit for students with developmental classes.

8. Important Reminders (Developmental Courses)
When a student is adjusting a schedule to be compliant (status or developmental), please be sure to check the entire schedule for other possible needed changes.
If a developmental class is deferred/waived, please complete a “Registration Waiver” form. Failure to do so can lead to complications during Non-Compliance.

9. Important Reminders (Developmental Courses)
NOTE: MAT 014 is not part of the RDG, ENG, and MAT developmental sequence triggering SSD 101.
Students in RDG 009 can only take the following credit courses: Math, SSD 101, SPE 121, or a foreign language. They cannot register for BIO 010, CHM 010 or CHM 020.

10. Important Reminders (Developmental Courses)
Students in PLS, HRI, and MAD have course sequences that need to be honored with developmental courses. (printed on back of the curriculum sheets)
MAT 014 and CSC 105 or MAT 014 and a working understanding of Microsoft Office are the prerequisites for CSC 106.

11. Important Reminders (BIO 010 and CHM 010)
Understanding the combination math courses with BIO 010 and CHM 010.
The lower math in the combination determines the possibility of taking the science course—MAT 009/013 does not permit BIO 010 or CHM 010; MAT 090/129A does not permit CHM 020 or CHM 121/125 but would allow BIO 010 or BIO 123.

12. Important Reminders (BIO 010 and CHM 010/020)
Students who were unsuccessful in a combination math class must take the lower math class when they retake the course.
BIO 123 prerequisites are MAT 013, BIO 010, and CHM 010.
CHM 121/125 prerequisites are MAT 014 and CHM 020.
Note: Students with HS CHM do not need CHM 020.

13. Important Reminders CSC 133 and 161 need MAT 014 as a prerequisite.
Advisors cannot sign for courses for transfer students if a RDG exemption is not evident in the system—the RDG test must be taken.

14. Important Reminders
BIO 211 – Principles of Microbiology is required for students in health technology majors.
BIO 221 – Microbiology is required for Biology majors (BIO.AS).

15. Important Reminders
The Department of Natural Sciences allows students with completed credits with at least a 3.0 GPA to register for BIO 105 or BIO 106 without registering for BIO 010. SCI 155 can serve as the prerequisite for BIO 105 or 106.
Please look at the following link for a much better view of the EDPR courses for Kean:
EDPR and Kean

16. Exemption from the Reading Portion of the CPT
The Office of the Registrar will now award exemption from the Reading portion of the College Placement Test for students who transfer any 12 credits from other colleges. This includes English, Math, or Computer Science courses. This replaces the previous requirement of 24 credits.

17. Status Review
Academic Status is not automatically reviewed after the winter or summer session. Students on Restriction or Probation at the end of Fall or Spring must submit an appeal to their Dean to have academic status reviewed.
Students should be advised based on their previous status.
Probation—four classes or 14 credits, whichever is fewer.
Restriction—two classes or 8 credits, whichever is fewer

18. Appeals
All advisors in the Advising Center can field an appeal for a course that exceeds the third attempt, Dean’s approval not needed.
Make sure that your signature and comments on the appeal are legible as they are entered into STRK by the Office of the Registrar. Be specific with the terms of the appeal.
The Director and Assistant Director will field appeals to exceed the “Rule of 15” and the maximum of 20 credits.

19. Review of Admissions Standards for Health Technologies I
Applicants must have all developmental Reading, English, and Math courses complete by the end of winter session.
Cumulative GPA of 2.75 or higher for DHY, RAD, NUR and RESP; 2.0 for Medical Lab Technology.
TEAS needed for all but Med Lab.

20. Review of Admissions Standards for Health Technologies II
Dental Hygiene, Medical Laboratory, Radiography and Respiratory Care applicants must have at least a “C” in laboratory Biology and Chemistry.
Nursing applicants must have at least a “B” in laboratory Biology and Chemistry.
Applications are accepted between June 30th and January 30th

21. Checking NCWS for the new Nursing Guidelines

22. Reviewing the Change in Psychosocial Rehabilitation
PSR is no longer a competitive admissions major.
MAT 116 is the required math course and BIO 106 is the required science course.
PSY 123, SOC 121, and PHI 123 are required courses.
No PSR course (except for the PSR 101) can be taken before the completion of all developmental courses and 18 college credits.

23. Reviewing the Change in Automotive Technology
Automotive Technology is no longer a competitive major.
No longer offered only in even-numbered calendar years.

24. Allied Health Pre-Professional Degree and Certificate I
Broad based program that allows students to meet prerequisites for use in Allied Health programs.
Gives students options should they not be successful in their application for admission to the competitive Health Technology programs.

25. Allied Health Pre-Professional Degree and Certificate II
The AHPP degree program is designed as an Associate in Science degree.
This puts it closer in design to the AS and AAS programs that are in the competitive Health Technology programs.
The approximately 30 credits of GE is significantly fewer than that required under the Liberal Arts General Program which students had entered previously.

26. Allied Health Pre-Professional Degree and Certificate III
Students should no longer apply for the Open College Health Technology Majors.
Students should no longer “hide behind” Liberal Arts—General or Biology Pre-Professional.
Currently, there is no charge for the change of major.

27. Reminders about MAT 010A and MAT 010B
MAT 010 A is seen in Colleague as “Basic Mathematics (Pa”
MAT 010B is seen in Colleague as “Basic Mathematics IB”

28. MAT 010 A

29. MAT 010A and 010B

30. Easier to see the Distinction between MAT 013 and 013A

31. “Stepping Back” to the “A” Version of Math
Students in the one semester version of MAT 010, 013, 014, 129, and 131 are permitted to “step back” to the “A” version of the course through the fourth week of a semester. Students need to seek the permission of the Math Department to do so.
As mentioned earlier, students who were unsuccessful in a combination math class must take the lower math when they retake the course .

32. MAT 014 and MAT 129
When advising a student in MAT 014 who wants Pre-calculus, ask about his/her grade expectation.
Students must receive a grade of “B” or higher in MAT 014 to register for MAT 129 (one semester version).
Students receiving a grade of “B-” or below must register for MAT 129A (two semester version).

33. Repeating the two semester versions of Math Courses
Students who are unsuccessful in the “A” version of MAT 010, MAT 013, MAT 014 or MAT 129 cannot register for the one semester version as an alternative in the subsequent semester. Students who register in this fashion are viewed as non-compliant.

34. Which Math with Which Major?
Our handout highlights these selections.
Students can always go “higher” in their Math selection if their CPT or SAT scores support the move—most evident in those majors that require BUS 115 or MAT 101.

35. NJ STARS Primer for June 2011 Graduates
Top 15% of graduating class—2011 graduates are covered for their tuition but not their fees.
STARS will cover up to 18 credits a semester but students must register for at least 12 credits.
Students have five semesters of eligibility to complete a degree program.
Students testing into developmental courses are ineligible for STARS until completion of these courses.
The students with developmental needs will have one year at their own expense to become eligible.
Students need a 3.0 by the start of their third semester to remain eligible.
Students need a 3.25 upon graduation for STARS II eligibility.
Jossette Greene is the NJ STARS Coordinator.

36. College Placement Test Exemptions
An SAT Verbal or Critical Reading of 540 (within the past five years) exempts a student from both the Reading and Essay portions of the Placement Test.
An SAT Math of 530 (within the past five years) exempts a student from MAT 013. Students are placed into MAT 014 but may challenge that placement.
Please be sure to check the dates of the student’s CPT scores and look for the latest scores.

37. Basic Math and Algebra in TSUM

38. ALG and CLM in TSUM

39. How XTRI can lead to errors with RDG and ENG Placement

40. Reviewing the Reading Score Parameters in the CPT
0-60—RDG 009
61-83—RDG 011
84 or better--No Developmental Reading Required
A Reading placement can be challenged once.

41. Writing Challenge Parameters
Students can challenge their writing placement in one of these two scenarios:
Score a 3 on the essay and place out of RDG 009—they are trying to place out of ENG 009.
Score a 5 on the essay and place out of RDG 011—they are trying to place out of ENG 010.

42. Challenge Tests for Math
For MAT 010, the student can place out of the class with a challenge score of
For MAT 013, the student can place out of the class with a challenge score of
For MAT 014, the student can place out of the class with a challenge score of will allow MAT 116, 123, or 129A.

43. Pre-calculus Diagnostic Test
Students who received “credit” (including transfer) for MAT 014 must take the pre-calculus diagnostic test in order to be placed into a class higher than MAT 129A.
A student would not take this test to get credit for a class or to bypass a placement based on a grade in a prior MCC math class.
This test differs from the challenge test because students may go backwards (i.e. 090/129A).

44. Looking for Challenge Test Results in TSUM

45. GE Humanities and Social Sciences
Be careful, not all ART, DAN, MUS, and THE electives are GE Humanities.
Be careful, not all PSY, POS, and SOC are GE Social Science electives.
Students who major in an LA option (such as LAPSY or LASOC) can utilize non-GE electives toward their major/concentration requirements.
In all majors, core humanities and social science requirements must carry the GE designation. For, LA majors, the diversity elective must also carry this designation.
The divisional elective does not need the GE designation.

46. Reminder about A.S. Majors
Starting in Fall 2008, Associate of Science majors require one GE Humanities, one GE Social Science, and the student’s choice of either one GE Humanities or one GE Social Science.

47. Computer Science Reminder
CSC 133 and 161 have a prerequisite of MAT 014.
CSC 106 has a prerequisite of MAT 014 and either CSC 105 or the student’s understanding that s/he must have a working understanding of Microsoft Office.
CSC 106 is the computer course of choice in BIO.AS, BPPST.AS, BIOTC.AS, CHM.AS, DIET.AS, EASC.AS, MAT.AS, and PHY.AS. Strongly recommended for LABUS.AA and BUS.AS.

48. CHM 010 vs. CHM 020
CHM 010 is the developmental chemistry course required for students without the proper grade in high school who are interested in the various health technologies.
CHM 020 is the developmental chemistry course required for students without the proper grade in high school who are interested in the different science transfer curricula.

49. Reviewing the BUS. AS Changes
Students in BUS. AS register for CSC 105 or CSC 106.
A BUS.AS student can now choose either a 3 credit or 4 credit GE science.
Differences between LABUS.AA and BUS.AS

50. Reviewing the MADAD.AAS and MADPH.AAS Changes
Students now have their choice of either a GE Math or a GE Science.
MAD 102 has been replaced by either ART 104 or ART 124 or ART 125 as these latter three courses are GE courses.

51. New Dietetics Transfer Degree
Designed to transfer to Rutgers to pursue a B.S. in Nutritional Sciences via the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences.
Some of its features (Bio 123 and 124; General Chemistry I and II; MAT 129; CSC 106; BIO 211; 7 specific HRI courses).
Prof. Maciolek wants to see any student who wants to change to this major.

52. Emphasizing the Language Diagnostic Test
If a student wishes to take a modern language course, he/she should always be referred to the diagnostic test unless that student is taking the language for the very first time.
In other words, please refer the student to the Testing Center no matter how many years they have studied the language in high school.

53. Enrollment Sequences PLS 100, 101 and 113 for PL.AAS
