OSU Digital Measures – University Instrument – Change Log

 

Date Submitted: 5-24-2016

 

Screen: Student Committees

1. Remove Course Prefix and Course Number

Why: These fields are not relevant to student committees.

Requested by:  Forestry – Vetted by all parties

  • [COURSEPRE] – Remove from Screen
  • [COURSENUM] – Remove from Screen

 

2. Remove Advisors DSA fields

Why: These fields allow the linking of student committee records to others within the system.  This has been deemed unnecessary and potentially problematic due to incorrect role assignment.  It has been determined that letting each faculty create their own record is the best for OSU.

Requested by: Forestry – Vetted by all parties

  • Remove the Advisors [ DSL_ADVISOR] section and all fields within.

 

3. Add support for student committee membership from other institution

Why: It is common for OSU faculty to serve as committee members for students at other institution

Requested By: CAS

  • Add “Institution if other than OSU” [INSTITUTION] as a text field below Explanation of “other”

 

 4. Update roles within the Involvement Type field

Why: The current roles don’t meet the differing college needs.
