STEPS Advising and Academics Team Driven Toward Success

As the STEPS Program upgrade approaches, the Advising and Academics team is on the frontlines of the transition, developing ways to improve services for our students. These changes represent a calculated plan to offer Madison College students more access to and control of their academic information.  

The Advising and Academics Team is committed to bridging the gap between student and advisor by:
-Reconfiguring the degree audit process to become the new advising report

-Allowing for different methods of batch processing

-Enhancing the advising report to for easier accessibility

-Expanding the Academic Advising module to allow advisors to better service students

These changes will allow advisors to share information with students in a new way that will open lines of communication not before reached. Students will be more independent than before, because of the advisors detailed work on reports and reviews. It will allow advisors to help students beyond walk-in and phone services. For students, it will be like have an advisor available 24/7 via their Student Center to help them with their academic planning questions and concerns.

Advising and Academics Team members included Annie Neuberger, team lead; team members Nicole Soulier, Claudia Griesbach, Cindy Douglas, Paula Roosmalen and Amy Howerton (from Western Technical College); and Bonnie Schmidt from CedarCrestone consulting.
