Students in H & S, Pre-Health Professions, all MTD majors, current first year students in the School of Business, and current first year and new transfer students in Health Sciences & Public Health are required to meet with their advisor to receive their RAC which will be available to advisors on DegreeWorks.
Students follow the requirements of the catalog year in which they entered IC or declared their major. Be aware of this if your department has changed the requirements for the major.
Remind students to review their own record periodically and to raise questions if/when they see something questionable.
DegreeWorks is the academic record. If you or the student think something is an error, please email registrar@ithaca.edu so they can investigate.
Ensure students are on target to graduate in 4 years. They should be completing 30 credits a year. If not, counsel them on how to make up credits.
Are graduation dates on DegreeWorks correct? If not encourage students to update them with the Change of Expected Graduation Date on IC Workflow.
Use the DegreeWorks “Note” tool to record student action items and ensure you and the advisee are on the same page.
There is no longer a capacity override or an email approval to get a seat in a class. The waitlist feature in HomerConnect is the only option. If students feel that not having a course is detrimental to graduating on time, please have them contact academicsupport@ithaca.edu.
If you commit to a student that you are going to submit a course waiver substitution please submit it in IC Workload for your chair to approve. Students are not able to submit these themselves and are dependent on faculty to do so.
