Teacher Becomes the Student: Enrollment Email



Received this email today about my courses for the summer. One thought that occurs to me is that I might want to share this same information on my course Canvas sites.

Dear Dustin, 

Our records indicate that you may be in the process of building your schedule for an upcoming term.  Please refer to the policies noted below that apply to your enrollment at Temple University.
FERPA: Confidentiality of academic records is maintained by the University according to federal law, The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974.  You may allow your parent(s) or guardian(s) access to view your academic records and other information via Proxy Access.

You may use Self-Service Banner to add, drop or withdraw a course.  If this option is not available to you, you must contact your advisor.  As with all matters related to your academic success at Temple University, you should discuss enrollment concerns with your advisor. 

Policy: 02.10.14- Adding courses:  Courses must be added prior to the add deadline.  You may not attend a course in which you are not registered.  
Policy: 02.10.14- Dropping courses: You may drop courses prior to the drop deadline.  If you do not drop but fail to attend, you remain financially and academically responsible for the course.
Policy: 02.10.14- Course withdrawal: After the drop/add period, you may withdraw from a course prior to the withdrawal deadline.  The withdrawal will result in a W grade notation on your transcript, and you will remain financially responsible for the course.  If you do not withdraw but fail to complete the course, you remain responsible for the grade you receive.
Policy: 02.10.14- Excused withdrawal: If you need to withdraw from all your classes due to extenuating circumstances, please see an advisor in your School/College.  Your advisor will discuss your options and assist you with the excused withdrawal process. 
Overall, please be advised that reducing your credit load can affect your eligibility for financial aid, loan deferment, insurance, progress towards your degree, student-athlete eligibility, VA education benefits, and visa status, if applicable.
Policy: 02.10.16- Leave of Absence:  If you were a full-time degree-seeking student during the previous semester, you may apply for an approved Leave of Absence (LOA) to remain an active, non-enrolled student in University systems. During the LOA period, you will not be eligible for financial aid and your status will be reported to loan service agencies as “not enrolled”, which may result in loan repayment.  If you wish to apply for LOA, please contact your advisor.  International students should contact the Office of International Services.
Enrollment dates are published in the academic calendar at: http://www.temple.edu/registrar

Teaching Tools

I've added two new teaching tools to my regime this semester. 1. Skitch . Skitch is both a desktop application that lets you capture images easily, and a website that allows for easy image sharing . I'll use it this semester to capture images that we can discuss in class, and to take pictures of the blackboard at the end of class (to capture interesting brainstorming sessions). I can upload the pic via email, straight from my phone, and the students will have access right away. I can use the image capture software to circle parts of the reading, charts, graphs, etc. and bring those to the surface for discussion. 2. Slideshare . This program allows you to upload PowerPoint presentations to the Web. I uploaded all of my slides for the semester to one page where they can be accessed from any computer. It allows me to worry less about carrying the slides on a USB drive or having to upload them to the course Blackboard page, which sometimes doesn't open. It also makes fo...

Temple Email Basics

This post really just applies to folks at Temple University. As a Temple student, your initial email address may be set up as a random series of letters and numbers, such as TUR93847@temple.edu. That makes it hard for recipients to know who they are receiving emails from. Here are three easy steps to make your emails easy to identify! 1. In your email, click on the settings option.
