SEMESTER CONVERSION UPDATE: Advisor Training and IAP Process
The first day of the University of Cincinnatis new semester calendar Aug. 27, 2012 is a little over a year away.
IAP TRAINING FOR ADVISORS
And from September 2011 through August 2012, University of Cincinnati advisors will work with semester conversion transition students to create an
(IAP) for each of these students in a degree-granting program.
Throughout the current summer, advisors are receiving training related to the IAP.
The IAP process will take place in five steps:
- Student completes Verify My Major via OneStop, a 30-second step. (Required since timely degree completion in that major is the goal of the IAP.)
- Each IAP is created by the appropriate advisor and approved by the program head.
- Student is notified via e-mail that his/her IAP is ready to view on OneStop.
- Student can electronically approve IAP or schedule a meeting with his/her advisor.
-
IAP is finalized.
The IAP supports UCs semester conversion
. By following the plan, transition students will be able to graduate on time. Its estimated that UC will create 30,000 transition student IAPs.
STUDENTS: COMPLETE COURSE SEQUENCES
After visiting and completing the
option at OneStop, the most important thing conversion transition students can do now in order to prepare for semester conversion is to meet regularly with their academic advisors and stay on track for course-sequence completion and graduation.
Course sequences are two or three courses that are intended to be taken together in order to fulfill a degree or program requirement. These courses are meant to be taken in a specific order, as the earlier courses are generally prerequisites for later courses. If possible, a course sequence begun on the quarter system should be completed on the quarter system.
Examples include
- Spanish I, II, III (15SPAN101, 15SPAN102, 15SPAN103)
- College Algebra I, II (15MATH173, 15MATH174)
And students planning to repeat a quarter course in order to take advantage of UCs grade-replacement policy should seek to repeat that quarter course before the conversion to semesters.
CHECK OUT HOW CO-OP WILL WORK UNDER SEMESTERS
On semesters, co-op cycles will depend on a students academic program. Some programs will offer a single cycle of co-op sessions and classes, while others will offer two alternating cycles. See
of these co-op cycles.

After UCs conversion to semesters, its estimated that the university will offer
- 723 degree-granting undergraduate and graduate programs, minors and certificates that have been comprehensively reviewed in terms of integration with other coursework to effectively and efficiently meet the needs of todays and tomorrows workforce, industry and community needs.
- 8,981 undergraduate, graduate or dual-level (U/G) courses.
