Vol. 26 No. 10 - October 25, 2021

Registration for the spring 2022 semester is quickly approaching. Official registration dates are determined by the number of earned credit hours.

Currently enrolled students are eligible to register for courses via TruView. To register, login and click on “student” from the tool’s menu on the left. Then click “student tools” to display the student tab page in the center section. Under the registration heading, click on “register/change schedule” to enter the registration module and click on register for classes. Once registration opens Oct. 19, students will be able to select the appropriate term and use the registration tool to find classes, enter CRNs, build a schedule and submit registration on their assigned date. Students can also find a step-by-step tutorial here.

Before registering, students must meet with their advisor and review their DegreeWorks degree audit to see what coursework is needed. The “what if” tool in TruView can also be used to see how courses will fit into one’s degree audit. Students must also check their registration status before their assigned time to ensure that all accesses are functioning properly and they have no account holds. Students that have not updated their mailing and permanent addresses will have a registration hold on their account. Telephone number, mailing and permanent address can be updated in TruView and the hold will be lifted on the hour. Students that have not completed the registration agreement for all terms presented will have a registration agreement hold for each term and will need to be complete the agreement.

Conditional add and drop allows students to stay enrolled in a class they are dropping unless a seat becomes available in another class. On the register for classes screen, students can check the box next to conditional add and drop to stay enrolled in a class if they can’t get into the other class they are trying to add. Utilizing this feature is highly recommended so that a class isn’t dropped without being enrolled in another class. Students also have the ability to email their schedule to themselves and other people. Select “schedules and options” and two versions of class schedules will pop up. In the upper right-hand corner of this box, select the envelope icon. Once a student emails their class schedule to their Truman email, it will give the option to add the schedule to their personal calendar. Students can also print their schedule immediately by selecting the printer icon in the schedules and options section.

International students that are studying from their home country and have internet issues can contact the Registrar’s Office and they will help with the registration process. Email registrar@truman.edu the desired spring 2022 course list with CRNs listed and they will enroll on the scheduled registration day. Students are responsible for clearing all holds ahead of time, ensuring that all pre-requisites or test score requirements are met. If the registrar is not able to enroll due to registration errors, they will notify students of the errors so they can address the issues with the appropriate department.

Submissions are limited to three artworks per person.  Size must be less than 6” in every direction, 2D or 3D. Content that includes profanity, nudity or politics will not be accepted.

Students must drop off their works between 8:30 a.m.- 5 p.m. Nov. 15-16 in the University Gallery. Judging will take place Nov. 17 and selected artists will be announced Nov. 18. Those not selected may pick up their work between 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Nov. 19 or Nov. 29 in the University Gallery.

Thomas plans to purchase 10 items for $30 each. This call for art is sponsored by Kappa Pi Art fraternity. For more information, email ldunnagan@truman.edu.

Junior and senior students could win up to $250 from Truman, and $10,000 nationally, through the Robert L. Gould Scholastic Award competition.

SS&C, a financial technology company, sponsors the annual Robert L. Gould Scholastic Award to recognize outstanding university students who produce academic papers on topics related to investment management strategies, theories and trends. The concept for this year is related to gamification and investments. As technology is explored in everyday lives, how could gamification impact or encourage appropriate investing behaviors and what are the real or potential positive and negative consequences of using gamification in this environment?  

In addition to the national award, the University will offer cash prizes to the top three papers from Truman students. Locally, first place will earn $250, second place will receive $150 and third place will get $100. All three will be submitted to the SS&C for the national competition.

Papers should be submitted to Chuck Boughton, instructor in business administration, at boughton@truman.edu by Jan. 14. Submissions should be in Word format only. Local awards will be announced after the Jan. 31 submission to the Gould judges. For more information email boughton@truman.edu.
