I. INFORMATION
A.
Notes of 1/22/15: Distributed and approved.
Update: Discussion was held regarding how to proceed with exemptions from assessment, orientation, and ed planning. When SSSP is implemented, focus should be more on courses vs. exemptions. Need to find a way to code assessment and priority registration if student provides AP tests and assessment from another institution. Completion component is different from level assessment. There will be more discussion on this at the Summit.
