At the third SGA senate meeting of the semester on September 14, the senators discussed changes that they plan to make to the class registration process for students.
According to Peyton Hanson, SGA academic affairs committee senator, one of the new features that is being proposed is an accompanying course outline.
The course outline will include a list of textbooks, any necessary software, required assignments, attendance policies and other materials required for the class, according to Hanson.
Hanson said he recognizes these proposed changes will affect both students and faculty.
“We’re going to ease into it because we know it will be a change for professors," Hanson said.
Following this proposal, SGA Hey Day representatives took the floor to ask for volunteers for the event.
Jacob Tofani, director of Hey Day, and Layton Dyess, assistant director of Hey Day, asked senators to hand out name tags to students in their designated colleges and urged them to make connections with the student body.
India Way, SGA budget and finance committee chair, broke down the process of preparing the budget.
“I want to clarify any misconceptions you guys may have about budget and financing," Way said.
Way explained to the senate what money is spent, what money is saved, how to make a financial request to her committee and how rollover works.
At the end of the meeting, Brad Smith, SGA advisor, asked senators to share their game-day experience and asked if the senators had suggestions for game-day improvement.
“If you guys could please continue to be our eyes and ears in the student section, that’d be great," Smith said.
