Slug Success User Update 1/26/18 New Unrestricted Major/Minor Appointment Reasons

UPDATED FALL 2018: Please refer to this google doc for current student facing reasons

Hello Slug Success Users,

 
Based on feedback we have received from a number of Major/Minor advisers regarding the new restrictions on student appointments, we are making some additional changes to the list of "reasons" that students can select when scheduling appointments from the "Major/Minor Advising" category.
 
The following unrestricted reasons will be available by the end of the day today (1/26). Any student may select these reasons when scheduling an appointment, regardless of their declared major(s) and/or minor (including Proposed:Undeclared students), and will be able to select their desired location from the list of advisers with this availability. Major/Minor advisers: if you wish to have these reasons available to students you must update your appointment availability. If you do NOT add these reasons to your availability, you will not be visible to students who select these reasons. 
 
  • Add 2nd Major or Minor
  • Appt w/ Non-Assigned Adviser
  • Change My Major/Minor
  • Enrollment Questions
  • Explore/Declare a Major/Minor (this will replace "Exploring A New Major/Minor")
Thank you for your patience and feedback as we work to improve the system for all of our campus users. We will continue to make changes as needed to better fit campus needs. As always, if you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to send it to slugsuccess-help@ucsc.edu.
 
Have a great weekend!
 
Amy
