1. Review April 24 Notes and Summer Cancellation Notes
 Summer course cancellations will be held off and at least one more cancellation meeting will
be held on May 8, due to concern for EOPS students and work study requirements. EOPS
enrollments are strong. Current summer enrollments stand at about 200 FTES, which is the
largest number of students enrolled during this summer period than in the past.
 Discussion to implementing unit limits for summer, and spring classes for students without a
counselors approval.
2. Annual Plan Status Updates
 An annual plan tracking document includes person(s) of responsibility and status columns.
Sheila, Jeff and Keith will update and submit in one or two weeks.
3. Senate Agenda Item 6.2
 Bob Brown shared with Keith the four highlights from the State Academic Senate Plenary
Session. Cheryl feels it matches what we are doing, continuing to improve the tie to GS6 for
instruction and assessment. CR already plans to recommend students take this class.
 More dialog is needed to be worked into assessment feedback on how assessment functions
outside GS6. One concern is what can be done for students that don’t take GS6, and how do
we assess that.
 Discussion on how to capture students who don’t have a basic understanding of or can’t
conceive of basic processes. E-advising allows the opportunity to offer a path with options.
This works well with internal systems and financial aid limits. Suggested we should be more
prescriptive. Students are running out of financial aid before completing 4 years.
 Discussion on how to be more restrictive and tighten pathways over, for example, a five year
period; which is part of the student task force recommendations. A two-year schedule would
be the framework for a proscribed schedule and would require a two-ear academic calendar.
 Sheila will look at (pg. 2) bullet to provide more professional development for advisors on
basics in matriculation and articulation.
