NEW STAFF
Ann Latham, Assistant Registrar
Hi! My name is Ann Latham; however, Memorial Day weekend when I get married that will be changing to Ann Creekmore. I am the Assistant Registrar for Registration and Scheduling. If some of you knew Gail Fredensborg, the former Associate Registrar in this area, I continue to do many of her tasks. This includes most anything related to courses and classes, registration, verifications/National Student Clearinghouse, and I oversee the area of classroom scheduling.
I have been in this position since April of 2007. Before that, I was responsible for the schedule of classes in the College of Nursing, here at UC, starting in June 2005. And before that, I was a registration associate at Xavier University starting in January of 2002. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from Miami University and I’m hoping to graduate this May with a Master of Arts in Humanities from Xavier University. This all means, of course, that I am very conflicted when it comes to football and basketball seasons. Go Redhawks! Go Muskies!
My area of the Registrar’s Office is currently juggling registration and planning responsibilities between three quarters: Spring, Summer, and Autumn. It can certainly be hectic, as all of you know, but both my staff and I are always available for any questions you may have. I know many of you from email and phone conversations and I hope one day to put faces with all of those names. I am located on the 5th floor of University Pavilion within the Registrar’s Office. My office phone number is 556-6817 and my email address is Ann.Latham@uc.edu.

New Academic Disciplines

INDS – Industrial Engineering
MECH – Mechanical Engineering
MINE – Mechanical, Industrial and Nuclear Engineering

Degree Programs Database
The improved program outlines database, a UC|21-funded project, has been launched:www.uc.edu/degreeprograms/. This new resource, which debuted in December 2007, provides more detailed information and more robust search capabilities. Note, in particular, the ability to locate programs by interest area, keywords and program type -- without limit to specific colleges -- as well as the ability to confine a search within a specific college. The previous site links, www.uc.edu/programs/, will automatically redirect to the new site. For more information, contact Angela Klocke, Director, Creative Services, University Relations.
New Onestop Feature
There is a new One Stop module on the front Blackboard page. This is a box that Onestop will use for immediate announcements, special dates and deadlines. This is another avenue to get our important information out to students. When students login to Blackboard, they can have the option of viewing the One Stop module. If they don’t see it right away, they can add the One Stop module by clicking on “Module Content”. Please forward to your staff and let me know if you have any questions. For more information contact Michelle Vezina, Web & Communications, One Stop Student Services.
