Business

  1. Minutes from 9/24/24 meeting were approved unanimously prior to this meeting, over email.
  2. The meeting was called to order at 11:00am.
  3. Still need to move addendum to the correct place on the Admissions Committee website, pending training on using Cascade from the steering committee.
  4. We reviewed Emiko’s response to our email about the Academic Fresh Start program being advertised more widely. She said they don’t advertise it to the students because not all are eligible. We are in agreement that it shouldn’t be in the dismissal letter because it would cause more confusion.
  5. Jankee had requested Elpha to modify the website to (1) change the email address that’s there to application@qcc.cuny.edu, (2) add a bullet that states that students returning will most likely be limited to take six credits, and (3) fix the typo in the bullet for “Fee” to add an “r” to the word “returning.” This was completed.
  6. Jankee will rename the file that we need to vote on to indicate which document we should be using to vote. 
  7. Applications for readmission were reviewed.
  8. Kristen will email the committee a scheduling poll when Jankee has applications for the committee to review.
