Student Status
- Lydia indicated that PeopleSoft is working to improve their advising module. If sufficient changes are made, it could potentially replace DARS. Lydia will continue to monitor their progress.
- William A. questioned Lydia on the potential impact of financial aid requiring all communications to be electronic. Lydia commented that the federal government requires an email ID to process financial aid applications and that CSUSB is looking to conduct more of their business by email with the students. It was recommended for security purposes that students be required to receive all communication through their CSUSB email account. This will ensure that email communications will not be prevented or deleted by commercial ISP providers.
