III. OTHER
A. Class Schedule: J. Nishime reported that 30,000 hardcopies of the class schedule would
be printed for both Fall and Spring semesters. 10,000 copies will be printed for summer.
Class schedules will be available in the Bookstore for $1. Some copies will be available
free of charge to high schools, libraries and department/division offices on campus.
Postcards will not be mailed out. It was suggested to include an ad in the community
education brochure as a way to get the news to the community.
B. Units: The Institutional Research office gathered information on the number of students
who have completed over 100 units as of Fall 2010. It was discovered that 633 students
have over 100 units. Some students have changed majors as many as six times. It is not
known how many students already have a degree, receive financial aid, retired or career
change. B. Mulrooney suggested to have a cap at 90 units and anything beyond that,
students lose priority registration. Another suggested option for those that exceed the
unit limitation is to pay non-resident fees.
C. Change in Meeting Time and Day: To accommodate the needs of committee members, it
was recommended to change the Enrollment Management meetings to the second
Thursday of the month from 1:00-2:30 p.m. The next meeting will be on May 12.
D. Supplement Guidelines on Budget Cuts and Class Sections: Deans came up with
guidelines and Academic Senate added specifics to it. The guidelines will be reviewed at

recommendations.
