<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Hi, everyone –<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I hope you’re all doing well. For main campus students, there are some exciting changes in store when it comes to Placements in Next Steps Center. We have been working with the Placement offices on redesigning/revamping
their content in NSC, and I wanted to go over some of these changes below:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">---------------------------<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">After students have registered for virtual orientation, they will be able to see a
<u>new</u> module in NSC called “Placements: Road to Your Class Schedule.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><img border="0" width="537" height="236" style="width:5.5937in;height:2.4583in" id="Picture_x0020_7" src="cid:image007.png@01D827F6.1214A2D0" alt="A picture containing logo

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">If they access this module <b>
before March 15</b>, they’ll only see one section – called “Foundations” – that has placeholder information regarding the Foundations requirements, as well as instructions on what they can do before the placements are available. (Like sending in ACT/Scores
and transcripts <u>if</u> they have them)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><img border="0" width="554" height="286" style="width:5.7708in;height:2.9791in" id="Picture_x0020_8" src="cid:image009.png@01D827F6.1214A2D0" alt="Text

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Starting March 15, more content and the placement sections themselves will unlock in this module. Students will then see the following items:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Information about Foundations requirements<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Information on why it’s important to take placements, as well as tips/ideas before taking them<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Foundations Writing Evaluation<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Math Placement<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Second Language Placement<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The placement sections themselves will be redesigned and revamped to match the visual look of the rest of NSC’s content (typography, imagery, etc) as well as be cohesive with one another. As an example, here
are some previews of what the individual sections will look like. (Note: The Math and Second Language sections are still in development).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><img border="0" width="284" height="251" style="width:2.9583in;height:2.6145in" id="Picture_x0020_10" src="cid:image010.png@01D827F6.1214A2D0" alt="Text

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The goal this time around was to simplify verbiage and more easily guide students on requirements and what exactly they need to do for each placement. The content will be more dynamic and cater to the students
themselves based on their type, group, and other parameters.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We’re hoping that these changes will help emphasize why taking the placements are important, make it easier for students to find them, and make it clear as to what needs to be done before orientation. We’re
crossing our fingers that this will “up” the number of students that complete the placements themselves!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
