EL CAMINO COLLEGE-Office of the President
Minutes of the College Council Meeting of February 4, 2002
Present: Ms. Jan Caldwell, Dr. Pat Caldwell, Ms. Ely, Mr. Hanson, Dr. Hata, Mr.
Marston, Mr. McBlaine, Dr. Simon, Ms. Smith. Guests: Alex Kelley, Bill
Mulrooney
Registration Bill Mulrooney and Alex Kelley distributed memo outlining a joint
recommendation for registration changes as follows:
1. Students will be allowed to register for classes through the first week of school
via the web and telephone.
2. Semester-start processing, by ITS and Admissions, would begin on Sunday,
preceding the second week of classes.
3. Rosters would be available to divisions as soon as possible, hopefully by
Monday afternoon.
4. Faculty members could obtain printouts of the students enrolled in a particular
class via the web.
5. Beginning the first day of classes faculty members, themselves, would drop
students (no-shows) via the web.
6. Students would be allowed to self-initiate drops via the web until through the
second week of school.
This extended self-registration period should improve service to students and
hopefully reduce their level of frustration while increasing enrollment.
Note 1: Temporary rosters would not be available until the Monday of the second
week of class.
Note 2: No-show rosters would not be produced. Faculty would be required to
process no-shows themselves via the web.
Note 3: Faculty currently possesses the ability to print rosters via the web
throughout the semester. They should be encouraged to do so.
Note 4: Students wishing to register in a closed class will need an add form signed
by the instructor. The student would need to bring the add to the designated
location for Datatel processing.
Note 5: The integrity of the wait lists will not be compromised.
They asked that members of College Council take this recommendation to their
constituents for discussion and bring back to College Council on February 25,
2002. Members expressed concern about the impact the changes would have on
faculty and staff. Alex and Bill hope to work with faculty and staff to help
students get enrolled in their classes and provide more on-line information and
services for faculty.
Bond Campaign. Pat reviewed timeline for our bond campaign and said she hopes
to meet with the students soon regarding some of the activities in which they can
become involved.
