Catalog Maintenance is a vital part in ensuring the accuracy of the information provided with each years newly published catalog. Our catalogs show the academic requirements for a degree within the year a student is matriculated to Alfred University. What is in the catalog for a student's matriculated year will be reflected on the student's degree audit. This is why it is extremely important to make sure maintenance is done and everything is up to date.
  • All curricular additions / changes must be completed with final approval in the registrar’s office by March 30th each year to be in the catalog and be updated in Degree Works (student’s degree audit).
  • Reminder - When updating a student's catalog year, the student can only go forward not backwards.
    • Example: If a student who matriculated to Alfred in Fall of 2022 wants to change their catalog year, they're new catalog year must be between Fall 2023 up to the most recently published catalog.

Should you have any questions or needed adjustments to the class schedule, please reach out to your department secretary and the Registrar's office for assistance. If the issue is related to Canvas, please contact Meghanna Freivald.

Deadline:

  • Any course additions or changes must be made before March 1 to be included in the upcoming year’s catalog.
  • When submitting form to C&T, consider reaching out to the unit your proposal being submitted for to ensure the proposal is received with enough time for the committee to discuss and review.

Policy and Procedures:

Degree Works audit are to make sure degree requirements are being met based on the year a student matriculated into the university. If you feel an audit isn't showing properly, run a degree audit incase of schedule or curriculum changes or reach out to the registrar's office before submitting a petition.

Do note that Degree Work petitions are different than requirement waivers. Waivers are to be used if a student doesn't meet the requirements as per policy but it is felt that they do meet the requirements in other ways. You can find the Waiver From within the Forms link in the next dropdown menu. Complete the form with advisor/dean’s office and submit to Provost for review. Meanwhile, petitions are for the unsatisfied requirements that should be satisfied per AU policy. Petitions need to be submitted through Degree Works and go through a multi-step manual process. Each petition goes through three key stages:

Degree Works petitions are a multi-step manual process. Each petition goes through three key stages:

  1. Submission – The petition is entered into the system.
  2. Approval – The petition is reviewed and approved.
  3. Application – The approved petition is manually applied to the degree audit.
Unlike an automated system, Degree Works petitions require manual processing, and each petition is marked with its current status. Due to workload and the multiple stages involved, processing may take up to two weeks. Here’s what each petition status means:
  • Awaiting Approval – The petition has been submitted and is pending review.
  • Approved – The petition has been approved but has not yet been applied.
  • Applied – The petition has been approved and applied, and the changes should now be reflected in the degree audit.
  • Rejected – The petition was not approved. In most cases, the petitioner will receive an email with the reason, and a comment will be included on the petition
  • Forms - To help students throughout their academic careers at AU
  • Internal Forms - You must be logged in as AU faculty/staff to access this page.

FERPA

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974,(FERPA), gives AU students certain rights with respect to their education records and who can access it. The link above will provide our page that lays out the policies and definitions of FERPA. Be sure to read!

All employees at Alfred University are expected to understand and adhere to FERPA and University policy in regards to protecting student data.  Any student record files kept in any office (physical or electronic) should be secure and viewed or accessed only by those with an educational interest.

An example of educational interest:

  • An advisor would be allowed to see documents/records that are pertinent to the task of advising. Such as academic standing and mid-term grades.
    • But seeing the details of a student’s tuition bill is not an educational interest.
