Graduate School fall commencement highlight To conclude the year-long celebration of its centennial. the Graduate School premiered a chamber music composition, When You and I 1rere Young. at its fall commencement ceremony on December~- ~005. The piece was also perfom1ed at a special preview concert on November 30.

The Graduate School commissioned the piece by Dr. Yoon-Hee Hwang. who received her PhD in music composition from the University of Minnesota in 1992. Dr. Hwang received a Graduate School Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship in 1990. only the second such award in music composition and the first for a woman. person of color. or intemational student. She cunently teaches at Seoul National University and serves on the Cmmcil Committee of the ·Korean Culture and Arts Fmmdation.' The Graduate School Fm?farefor Brass Quintet Plus Percussion premiered at the spring commencement ceremony. was also perfom1ed.

Exit interview reminder As spring term approaches, many students are making their graduation plans. If a student took out any kind of student loan at any time while attending the University, that student's plans should include scheduling an exit interview.

Depending on the student an exit interview may take the fon11 of an in-person interview. or the student may go through a web process with their lender. If a student received a Perkins student loan, a health profession or nursing student loan. or a university trust fund loan. he or she must do an exit interview v.ith Student Financial Collections (SFC). Most professional schools will set up dates where SFC will come to their school to do the exits in a group setting.

Undergraduates and graduate students (except professional school students) should go to Grad Fest in Coffman Union on either March ~9 or March 30. If a student received a loan from the Direct Loan program, they should attend the exit interviews mentioned above. or complete an exit online through the Direct Loan Servicing Center's website.

People Soft 8. 9 update As promised, the Office of Enrolled Student Services will continue to provide updates regarding this sun1mer's conversion to PeopleSoft version 8.9. Here are the latest de\ elopments:

• Student Records menu items and processes have been self-assigned to Office of the Registrar Info Tech staff for testing functionality and modifications. • Critical Student Records processes have been identified so modifications to suppmt these functions can be completed in a timely fashion. • The new version with modifications and data should be available for testing by January 17. •System changes in progress and close to completed will be in production as soon as possible: additional requests will be put on hold until after the upgrade.

Stay tw1ed for more information in upcoming Record issues.

Transcript changes Changes were made to the student transc1ipt on January 3 to accurately reflect attempted credit totals. For courses \Vith catalog numbers greater than 1000. the tem1 and cum totals in the attempted column. will add up units taken instead of academic progress units. This was already the case for courses with catalog numbers less than 1000. For example. the thesis credit course MUS 8333 has units taken 1.00 and academic progress units 6.00. Before our change. the course was displaying as 1.00 and the tenn and cum totals v.ere adding in the academic progress units 6.00. After our change. the course will still display as 1.00 and the term and cum totals will add in 1.00 instead of 6.00. This change will not affect certification: it is only a change to the transcript.

Also, Courses taken under the audit grading basis will display as blank credits in the attempted column. TI1ey were previously displaying the unit taken amount.

ecor Judith Shalaby says farewell to the U After 35 years at the University (over 30 years in the Office of the Registrar). senior editor Judith Shalaby is retiring.

Judith worked tor many years with the paper copy of the Twin Cities Class Schedule (and provided support for the Duluth Class Schedule). and with various registration publications. tuition, and torms. She often joked that the Class Schedule was the "glamour'' publication of the University. printed as it was on newsprint with little embellishment.

Judith has enjoyed the changes and challenges that came about first with desktop publishing and later with the Web. Housed for the last seven years in Coffey Hall. she will especially miss the beauty of the St. Paul campus (including watching the raptors being exercised on the lawn) and her colleagues in the St. Paul and Minneapolis offices.

She is looking forward to more time for reading. listening to baroque opera. bird watching. and quilting. "The Office of the Registrar has been a great place to work. but it is time for me to try new things and time for a person with new ideas in my position:· she said.

Come wish Judith best wishes for her retirement on March 29th. from I -4 p.m. in 110 Coffey Hall.

People Soft 8. 9 update The upgrade to PeopleSoft 8.9 is well underway! The Student Records Info Tech staff are working on refining testing documents and finding test cases in preparation for the beginning of the testing cycle in mid-March. Most in-progress work requests for the cunent version have been completed. and OIT programmers are on track for getting current modifications into the new version in time for testing.

Student Records trainers are beginning to offer informal sessions to show the new menu structure and search pages: featured sessions \\ill be included in future issues of The Record as well as via the SA-Live listserv.

Look for continued updates in The Record: information about preview sessions and other training infonnation will be sent to all PeopleSoft users as it becomes available.

Thanks for responding! Thanks to everyone who gave their input regarding moving to an email-only version of The Record. An update will be provided in next month's issue!

ecor Resource 25 update: use of R2S expands to indude all TC department classrooms On May 31. Craig Swan. Vice Provost and Dean of Undergraduate Education and Teny Bock. Associate Vice President Academic Health Center. emailed Deans. Directors, and Depatiment Heads announcing the expansion of the Resouce 25 (R25) initiative to include scheduling of all depatiment classrooms (use code 120) on the Twin Cities Campus (see http://www.classroom.unm.edu!index.asp?sid=l20 ). The deadline for implementation of the initiative is the beginning of fall 2006. Departments are also encouraged to use R25 to schedule other types of instructional space (labs. seminar rooms. etc) in addition to their depmimental classrooms.

The Office of Classroom Management's R25 Department Rollout began as a limited pilot program. The rollout has now grown to include 32 departments in 12 colleges on the Twin Cities campus. Benefits of using R25 include its on-line interface with the People Soft student information system; the prevention of double booking in department spaces: the availability of depm1ment web viewers that provide a graphical display of a classroom schedule: and the ability to monitor department room assignment efficiency by using a common space measurement system.

Depat1ments retain autonomy and responsibility for scheduling these departmental spaces while gaining the benefits of using a proven system. Scheduling will provide training and support to department users. R25 can be used by both Mac and PC users.
