September 9, 2019"Review Complete" Deadline This Friday, Sept. 13
Most of your returning and new advisees should be properly registered for the fall semester, which means it's almost time for "Review Complete." Sometime before the Friday, Sept. 13 deadline, you'll need to meet with each of your returning and new advisees, review their final schedules, submit “Review Complete” for each one, and archive their plans. This “Review Complete” process was put in place at the request of faculty who wanted to be able to meet with their Advisees to review their final course selections during the first two weeks of classes. Here’s a quick guide to the process: 1. Student Planning will alert you to these
requests. You will see a yellow icon next to each student’s name as shown below.
2. After you meet with your Advisees, and you and the Advisees agree that their semester schedule is final, you then need to do the final step in the advising process: click the “Review Complete” button as seen outlined in red below.
3. Once you have clicked “Review Complete,” that button will change to “Reviewed,” and you’ll see two Notification pop-ups: one confirming that the review was completed, and one asking if you want to archive the plan. Please archive the plan by clicking ARCHIVE - this will give you a record to refer to if your Advisee makes changes later.
4. You’ll next see a new pop-up confirming this, and also the notation of who last reviewed the student’s record and when. You can clear the pop-up, but the notation will remain. The “Review Complete” button will now say “Reviewed” and cannot be clicked again unless the Advisee requests another review.
How to Explain the FOUNDATIONS Curriculum
As an adviser, you'll need to be able to help your first-year and sophomore advisees understand the Foundations curriculum. The curriculum, which went into effect for students entering Barnard in the Fall of 2016, prepares our students for the future by adding depth and breadth to our existing course of study. It emphasizes technology and digital learning; international and global learning; and the importance of quantitative and empirical reasoning. Our students are expected to study the local—our connection with New York City—and the historical, and to study and think hard about social difference. And with Foundations, Barnard is one of the first liberal arts colleges with a distinct technology requirement. The graphic shown below is an easy way to help explain these requirements to your advisees. If you'd like to print a copy for your use, visit: FOUNDATIONS Degree Requirements.
