Processing Packets
We will stop accepting packets one week after grades are due.
In order to formally acknowledge and document those situations where either a packet was never returned or perhaps returned in the next semester a formal process has been discussed with the Deans and the Provost. We will be doing the following:
If a packet was distributed (checked off on the list mentioned in verifying your packet at pick-up), yet was not received for processing, Institutional Research will generate a formal memo to you and your department chair indicating that you participated, but through no fault of your own the packet was not returned.
If a packet is received more than one week after grades are due for that semester, we will return the packet to you, unprocessed, with a letter (that can be used in your dossier) that indicates that the packet was received after the cut-off date and acknowledge your participation.
We are keenly aware of the need for SEI reports to be returned as timely as possible and we will be looking at how to expedite the process, particularly in the time between Fall and Spring semesters. Some of the changes in the administration process will assist in this regard. However, the process continues to be cumbersome and extremely labor intensive so I ask for your patience as we try hard to improve this aspect.
