Information Technology Services is pleased to continue offering Zoom to the campus community. In order to ensure the quality and availability of this service, AU routinely deletes old recordings from our instance of Zoom. This is scheduled twice per year, in July and February. All recordings made prior to December 16, 2024 will be deleted on February 28, 2025. Users are encouraged to examine their recordings and download any items that need to be saved. This routine maintenance will allow us to continue to provide Zoom for virtual meetings and classes. Any questions on this matter can be directed to the ITS Helpdesk. Thank you for your cooperation.

These awards have been created to carry on their legacy. Each year, two students receive these awards. The descriptions and criteria of each award are below.

* Sophomore earned status (non-transfer student)
* 3.25 GPA

Class List Verifications are important for us to determine if students are here for the semester. Be sure to log into banner web. Check your rosters, anyone on your roster that has not shown up at all? If so, then you will need to report these students.
We are using Navigate not Banner Web, to verify attendance. You will be getting a prompt via email to REPORT ANY STUDENT THAT IS NOT ATTENDING. Follow instructions in the email.
Attendance issues are not reported via class verifications; if you have a student having regular attendance problems then issue an alert in Navigate.
Report between these dates: Jan. 28th - Feb 5th.
Everyone needs to complete class list verifications because:
1. Registration problems become increasingly difficult as the term progresses. These issues can impact student's billing, financial aid, progress, and cause final grading issues. We must be sure all class lists are accurate.
2. Our enrollment reporting for Census. We depend on this data not just internally for our own fiscal wellbeing, but we report externally to accreditors and to State and Federal agencies.
