Competency-based transcripts and GPA calculations

Hello,

 

Do any MACRAO members on the Admissions side have policy/practice on accepting competency-based transcripts (all grades are pass/no pass), and especially on converting to GPA for admission and scholarship awards? Similarly, do any schools offer merit scholarships to students reporting high school equivalency (GED or HiSET), and if so, how do you determine scholarship levels for these students?

UM Western looking for a Registrar

Dear MACRAO;

 

For those that were not aware it was decided to officially split my dual role of Registrar and Director of Institutional Research into two position.  Come the new year, I will be (very happily) moving into a full-time Director of Institutional Research role and with that we have an opening available on campus for a full-time Registrar.  If anyone is interested or know someone who might be interested job description is at the following link  (LOL  Can I remain an honorary member of MACRAO…Love you people!)

Re: is there a policy running around about free/general electives?

Hi Charity  -

 

There are also these descriptions of bachelor's degree "majors" and "extended majors" in policy 303.1.

I seem to remember one of the BOR policies (or some procedure related to the policies) mentioning a recommended level of free or general electives for a Bachelor's degree. Does anyone else have a memory if that policy exists and if so where it is located.  It's quite possible it came from a conversation with faculty on campus, but I swear I've seen it before on the MUS.edu pages.

 

Thanks for any thoughts you may have or information you've seen.
