Slug Success Pre-Fall Update

Date: Monday, August 7, 2017

 

Hi everyone,

Somewhat unbelievably (at least for me), it's already time to start thinking about Fall quarter! As Sam and I have mentioned in our previous information sessions and emails, we are hoping to have as many departments as possible "go live" with Slug Success for Fall quarter, allowing students to schedule advising appointments and view available walk-in times for their assigned advisers.

Students have been able to login to Slug Success since the beginning of Summer Session I, and there are a few departments that have already been using the system to schedule appointments with students. Thank you to these departments, and all of our "early adopters" who have been providing us with useful feedback along the way!

If your department would like to get started using Slug Success, but are still in need of orientation, training, and/or other set up assistance, please let me know how I can help! There is an open lab scheduled in Kerr Hall once a week through the end of August (see our training calendar for days and times), but I am also available for office visits by request. If you're interested, I would be happy to come to by your advising office and answer your location-specific questions.

If you're not yet ready to begin using Slug Success for the start of Fall quarter, we would really appreciate knowing why -- what is missing and/or preventing you from using this tool?

Feel free to reply to this email, or send email directly to slugsuccess-help@ucsc.edu, with any feedback or questions that you have, and/or if you'd like to schedule an in-person training in the next few weeks.

Thank you!

The Slug Success team
