When the eligibility specifications are finalized and prior to Summer and Fall registration, the Registration plans
to send notices to students so they can use the summer session if necessary to meet the credit hour
requirements. More information will be shared at our next meeting.
The information was compiled for report to ICHE. The document is shared with APPC as an information item.
Review of low production degrees
o IU requested all campuses to review degrees with a five-year average of fewer than 10 degrees. The
information was provided to the deans who determined if there was justification for continuing to offer the
degree or if the degree should be discontinued.
o A proposal is being developed to establish a process to conduct a period review of low production degrees. It is
anticipated that the proposal will come to APPC in March or April.

Update on Post Enrollment Requirement Checking (PERC)—Kim Lewis
o PERC provides an automated process to determine if students have met prerequisites for a course in which they
are “future-registered.” If the prerequisite is not met at the end of the prior term, the student is notified, given
a chance to change class schedule and then eventually dropped from the course if they have taken no action
o The pilot for the process has been successfully completed.
o The PERC process is only as good as prerequisite enrollment requirement groups (ERGs) that are coded into the
SIS
o Registrar Office has reached out to schedulers to carefully assess ERGs and to identify units that want to use
PERC
o The decision must be made by March 1.

General Education Core courses identified and maintained using IU online course approval System (CARMIN)—Mary
Beth Myers
o In response to the Statewide General Education Transfer Core requirement, IUPUI must establish a set of
“General Education” courses aligned with the six state-wide transferable core competency domains. The
existing online course approval system is being augmented to assist in that process. Following is a timeline of
events to accomplish this by the mandated 5/15/2013 date.
2/14/2013
CARMIN scheduled to be deployed with requested updates
12/13/12 - 2/15/2013
Academic Units complete their internal course review
2/15/2013 through 2/28/2013
Academic Units process their Gen Ed course requests using CARMIN
3/1/2013
CARMIN remonstrance list is live with Feb activity. The IUPUI Gen Ed Taskforce Committee Chair, Kathy
Johnson, and Sarah Baker will be added to the approval route for all courses tagged as General
Education. Kathy Johnson and Sarah will forward Gen Ed courses to the appropriate task force group
with a request that they “Acknowledge” within the CARMIN system.
 Selecting “Acknowledge” means that the taskforce member has reviewed the course request
and approves it as a Gen Ed Course.
 If the taskforce member has concerns, they will contact Kathy or Sarah.

Academic Units will continue to process their Gen Ed course requests using CARMIN as described above
from this point forward.
