1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,330
Hello, everybody.

2
00:00:05,330 --> 00:00:08,190
Welcome to the New Jaguar Question and
Answer.

3
00:00:08,190 --> 00:00:13,049
My name's Errol Wint, I'm the Director of
Undergraduate Admissions here at IUPUI.

4
00:00:13,049 --> 00:00:16,770
And we're really excited that you
all decided to join us today.

5
00:00:16,770 --> 00:00:19,510
A little bit about myself as I'm
gonna be the facilitator for

6
00:00:19,510 --> 00:00:24,240
today, and
I'm very excited to be able to do so.

7
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:28,390
I'm originally from Kentucky,
came to Indianapolis because I was

8
00:00:28,390 --> 00:00:33,250
excited to be able to take on a job
here at IUPUI, an institution that has

9
00:00:33,250 --> 00:00:36,750
been on the rise the past decade, and
has been doing some amazing things.

10
00:00:36,750 --> 00:00:41,000
In my last two years here have been
incredible, and I'm really passionate

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,220
about what IUPUI means to this community,
and really the IUPUI difference.

12
00:00:46,220 --> 00:00:51,220
And so we're really excited to be
able to engage with you today.

13
00:00:51,220 --> 00:00:52,220
First and foremost,

14
00:00:52,220 --> 00:00:55,810
I wanna take the moment to congratulate
all the seniors that are on this call.

15
00:00:55,810 --> 00:00:59,920
You all have endured some really
unique and amazing times,

16
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:01,400
and we're all very proud of you.

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,509
And we want to make sure that we acknowledge
your tremendous accomplishment in terms of

18
00:01:05,509 --> 00:01:06,970
making it through your senior year.

19
00:01:06,970 --> 00:01:10,170
And making it through your senior
year admits the challenges that have

20
00:01:10,170 --> 00:01:12,200
been brought about by COVID-19.

21
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,899
And to the parents as well,
we wanna thank you.

22
00:01:15,899 --> 00:01:20,609
So when it comes to today,
we're really our goal is to do two things.

23
00:01:20,609 --> 00:01:26,819
Number one, with the recent
announcement of our fall restart plans,

24
00:01:26,819 --> 00:01:30,209
and you all eager to know what your
college experience is gonna look like.

25
00:01:30,209 --> 00:01:35,830
We wanna engage a panel of our top leaders
here at IUPUI to help you number one,

26
00:01:35,830 --> 00:01:38,759
visualize the campus experience at IUPUI.

27
00:01:38,759 --> 00:01:41,929
The second thing that we want you to
do is to help you understand what those

28
00:01:41,929 --> 00:01:47,249
next steps are, so you're prepared to
enter in the fall come August 24th.

29
00:01:47,249 --> 00:01:51,099
And so we have a panel of
some amazing individuals.

30
00:01:51,099 --> 00:01:54,630
Number one, we've got our leader,
Chancellor Nasser Paydar,

31
00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:59,759
who's going to bring introductory
comments, and welcome to all of you.

32
00:01:59,759 --> 00:02:01,560
From there we've got three panelists, Dr.

33
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,899
Boyd Bradshaw, who is the institution's
Chief Enrollment Officer.

34
00:02:04,899 --> 00:02:09,399
He's gonna talk about financial aid and
the admissions process.

35
00:02:09,399 --> 00:02:10,869
Then we have Dr.

36
00:02:10,869 --> 00:02:14,940
Jay Gladden, who is the leader of our
Division of Undergraduate Education.

37
00:02:14,940 --> 00:02:19,900
He'll chat with you about summer
bridge week as well as orientation.

38
00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:22,960
And then we have Dr. Eric Weldy
from our Student Affairs office,

39
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,780
who is going to engage well about the
student experience and housing and more.

40
00:02:27,780 --> 00:02:33,140
So the themes that we gathered from you,
and we want you to know as we

41
00:02:33,140 --> 00:02:37,010
have gone though this journey together,
we've been paying attention to your

42
00:02:37,010 --> 00:02:41,810
calls to our office, the email inquiries
you've had, the Facebook 2024 group.

43
00:02:41,810 --> 00:02:45,420
And we've not only brought together a list
of really those core thing that we know

44
00:02:45,420 --> 00:02:50,340
you want answers to, we also gave you
the opportunity to submit questions.

45
00:02:50,340 --> 00:02:53,910
So that we are able to
answer those as we go along.

46
00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:58,371
You'll also have the chance during this
webinar to right here at the bottom, where

47
00:02:58,371 --> 00:03:03,090
you where you see the Q&A button, to submit
live questions so that we can submit.

48
00:03:03,090 --> 00:03:05,310
Now I wanna be honest with you.

49
00:03:05,310 --> 00:03:09,230
There were a lot of questions, and we're
gonna try our best to really bucket them,

50
00:03:09,230 --> 00:03:12,980
and answer as many as possible
within the next hour, or so.

51
00:03:12,980 --> 00:03:15,530
But you will have the chance and
the opportunity to schedule

52
00:03:15,530 --> 00:03:18,790
an individualized meeting at the end
with one of our admissions counselors,

53
00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:22,430
to have a follow up discussion for
anything that went unanswered.

54
00:03:22,430 --> 00:03:25,210
And any questions that you post below,

55
00:03:25,210 --> 00:03:30,040
we're also going to do some email follow
up to you, and send you resources.

56
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,990
So the flow of the program
is really about you.

57
00:03:34,990 --> 00:03:39,120
We want to make sure that we're answering
as many questions that you have.

58
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,960
Get you really excited about coming
to the IUPUI in the the near future.

59
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,380
Recognize that we have many of
our family members in the IUPUI

60
00:03:48,380 --> 00:03:51,260
community that are here in
this webinar right now.

61
00:03:51,260 --> 00:03:55,910
And we wanna make sure that that you feel
comfortable about what the next steps are.

62
00:03:55,910 --> 00:03:59,560
And where we don't have answers,
we'll be committed to ensure that we get

63
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:05,910
you the next steps, so that you feel
comfortable about coming here in the fall.

64
00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:06,910
So without further ado,

65
00:04:06,910 --> 00:04:16,660
we would like to bring in our chancellor,
Nasser Paydar to give welcome remarks.

66
00:04:16,660 --> 00:04:19,660
And I think Chancellor Paydar, you're on.

67
00:04:19,660 --> 00:04:21,039
>> Well, thank you.

68
00:04:21,039 --> 00:04:26,009
Let me begin by congratulating all
of you for being admitted to IUPUI.

69
00:04:26,009 --> 00:04:30,129
I want to officially welcome the Class of
2024,

70
00:04:30,129 --> 00:04:32,150
IUPUI Jaguars.

71
00:04:32,150 --> 00:04:35,150
This must be an exciting
time in your lives,

72
00:04:35,150 --> 00:04:39,909
even with the uncertainty we
are all facing these days.

73
00:04:39,909 --> 00:04:43,900
This is the time for
you to explore pathways to your future.

74
00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:50,999
And it's okay by the way, not to be
sure what major you want to get into.

75
00:04:50,999 --> 00:04:53,931
And you should make the decision
in the first year, but

76
00:04:53,931 --> 00:04:59,050
IUPUI is one of the most comprehensive
campuses inside of Indiana.

77
00:04:59,050 --> 00:05:00,600
So you have many choices.

78
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,460
You're on a campus with lots
of choices in degree programs.

79
00:05:04,460 --> 00:05:08,600
And you're also on a campus
with the most diverse student body,

80
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,860
because we are committed to
diversity on this campus.

81
00:05:12,860 --> 00:05:17,900
Speaking about diversity, let me say
now how deeply, we support the call for

82
00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:24,389
action against racist violence
that has swept the country.

83
00:05:24,389 --> 00:05:25,389
At this point,

84
00:05:25,389 --> 00:05:29,659
let me share with you a little bit
about the campus you're admitted to.

85
00:05:29,659 --> 00:05:34,439
We have 30,000 students,
22,000 undergraduates, and

86
00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:38,199
that leaves us 8,000, or
so at the graduate level.

87
00:05:38,199 --> 00:05:42,620
We have students from all
Indiana counties, 50 states, and

88
00:05:42,620 --> 00:05:47,319
144 countries at IUPUI.

89
00:05:47,319 --> 00:05:51,490
As I mentioned, we are one of the most
comprehensive universities in the state of

90
00:05:51,490 --> 00:05:57,139
Indiana, with over 500 degree
programs right here in Indianapolis.

91
00:05:57,139 --> 00:06:01,970
And we have outstanding
academic programs.

92
00:06:01,970 --> 00:06:05,499
Some of them are very unique and
the first in the nation, so

93
00:06:05,499 --> 00:06:09,629
we have the only School of
Dentistry in the state of Indiana.

94
00:06:09,629 --> 00:06:14,710
The first School of Philanthropy,
the first School of Informatics and

95
00:06:14,710 --> 00:06:18,469
Computing right here was
established in Indianapolis.

96
00:06:18,469 --> 00:06:22,779
We have the first and the only bachelor's
degree in Motor Sports Engineering.

97
00:06:22,779 --> 00:06:25,430
The list goes on, we have outstanding and

98
00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:28,570
one of the largest science
programs on our campus.

99
00:06:28,570 --> 00:06:34,930
It's a very unique campus with all sorts
of outstanding opportunities for students.

100
00:06:34,930 --> 00:06:36,639
And we have some of the biggest.

101
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:39,139
We have the largest school of
medicine in the country here,

102
00:06:39,139 --> 00:06:42,539
we have the second largest
school of nursing here.

103
00:06:42,539 --> 00:06:47,250
One of the largest engineering and
technology programs in the state is

104
00:06:47,250 --> 00:06:48,650
right here at IUPUI.

105
00:06:48,650 --> 00:06:52,620
So
we are proud of our many programs, and

106
00:06:52,620 --> 00:06:53,870
we are proud of our students.

107
00:06:53,870 --> 00:06:59,180
And we
are delighted to have you on our campus.

108
00:06:59,180 --> 00:07:04,360
Now, as you face one of the biggest
transitions in your life,

109
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,169
starting college,
it's important to endeavor to connect

110
00:07:08,169 --> 00:07:11,669
with people in meaningful ways,
classmates.

111
00:07:11,669 --> 00:07:13,569
We have hundreds

112
00:07:13,569 --> 00:07:19,669
of organizations on our campus and
we want you to get in there and

113
00:07:19,669 --> 00:07:24,619
connect with them while maintaining
social distancing, of course.

114
00:07:24,619 --> 00:07:28,110
This fall is going to be different for
all of us,

115
00:07:28,110 --> 00:07:36,050
we'll offer a blend of online and
face to face classes at IUPUI.

116
00:07:36,050 --> 00:07:39,750
We have been delivering online
programs since 1989, we are experts.

117
00:07:39,750 --> 00:07:42,699
We have the highest number
of online programs.

118
00:07:42,699 --> 00:07:47,589
We've always had it among all
Indiana University campuses.

119
00:07:47,589 --> 00:07:53,599
Now, while we expect most of you want to be
on campus this fall, we'll be offering

120
00:07:53,599 --> 00:07:59,699
online courses for of you who wish
not to come to the campus this fall.

121
00:07:59,699 --> 00:08:04,180
So there are choices for
students for on site or

122
00:08:04,180 --> 00:08:07,400
online programs here at IUPUI.

123
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:12,649
For those of you who want to be on campus,
we have worked very hard in creating and

124
00:08:12,649 --> 00:08:17,680
preparing for this fall for you,
for our faculty, and staff.

125
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:23,060
We have consulted with health and
medical experts.

126
00:08:23,060 --> 00:08:27,460
We are following local, state,
and national guidelines.

127
00:08:27,460 --> 00:08:33,180
But more importantly,
we have an agreement with IU Health

128
00:08:33,180 --> 00:08:37,770
for testing all of our students
as there is a need for it.

129
00:08:37,770 --> 00:08:42,180
The contract is there, all you need to
do is go to a website when you become a

130
00:08:42,180 --> 00:08:44,380
student, if you need to check your health.

131
00:08:44,380 --> 00:08:50,830
We have thought of many things to
keep our campus and students safe.

132
00:08:50,830 --> 00:08:56,010
That ultimate goal of this institution is
to educate our students in

133
00:08:56,010 --> 00:09:02,080
a manner that you feel comfortable with
while keeping our faculty, staff safe.

134
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:07,250
I know there are some parents
in the program this evening.

135
00:09:07,250 --> 00:09:13,730
As a parent of two sons myself, I always
wanted three things for for my kids.

136
00:09:13,730 --> 00:09:20,160
I wanted them to be healthy, happy,
and get an outstanding education.

137
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:25,210
And at IUPUI,
we will take care of your kid,

138
00:09:25,210 --> 00:09:28,240
your children, your students.

139
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,240
And we're ready to take them on and and

140
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:37,760
move them through the education in
a safe manner this coming fall.

141
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:43,670
Now, I want to again
congratulate all of you and

142
00:09:43,670 --> 00:09:48,100
we'll work very hard to make sure that
the freshman year is one of the best years

143
00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:49,340
of your life.

144
00:09:49,340 --> 00:09:54,210
Before I pass it back to
Errol, I want to thank you for being here.

145
00:09:54,210 --> 00:09:58,930
I'm going to stay online and
listen to your questions and

146
00:09:58,930 --> 00:10:03,900
your comments, to understand what
are the things that you have in mind.

147
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:05,270
Again, congratulations.

148
00:10:05,270 --> 00:10:08,130
And thank you very much, Errol.

149
00:10:08,130 --> 00:10:11,240
>> Chancellor Paydar, thank you so much.

150
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:16,560
I'm pleased to now pass it along
to my direct supervisor Dr.

151
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:18,190
Boyd Bradshaw.

152
00:10:18,190 --> 00:10:21,380
As Chancellor Paydar
said, as soon as we met to make

153
00:10:21,380 --> 00:10:25,870
the decision to transition all
of our programs virtually and

154
00:10:25,870 --> 00:10:30,330
engage you all with trying to answer
questions as best as possible,

155
00:10:30,330 --> 00:10:34,620
Dr Boyd Bradshaw has been right there,
trying to get the answers for us and

156
00:10:34,620 --> 00:10:38,640
making sure that you all feel
comfortable as we go through this process.

157
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,090
So I'm happy that he's here to
share some remarks with you all.

158
00:10:43,090 --> 00:10:44,580
Dr. Bradshaw.

159
00:10:44,580 --> 00:10:49,330
>> Well said, a great pleasure as
Chancellor Paydar mentioned to be with you

160
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:55,930
here and I just want to say congratulations
and welcome to the IUPUI family.

161
00:10:55,930 --> 00:11:02,570
It is truly an amazing time to be
a student and it's all about change,

162
00:11:02,570 --> 00:11:07,400
and I feel really good about the hard
work that's happening behind the scenes

163
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,370
to prepare for your arrival in the fall.

164
00:11:10,370 --> 00:11:14,490
We also realize also that many of you are
at different stages, some of you are still

165
00:11:14,490 --> 00:11:18,710
debating whether you're going to enroll
in the fall, some of you have made that

166
00:11:18,710 --> 00:11:19,710
decision.

167
00:11:19,710 --> 00:11:22,710
You're wanting to know what
it's going to be like to live on campus?

168
00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:25,610
What is the classroom
environment going to be like?

169
00:11:25,610 --> 00:11:29,480
What is dining options
going to be like when I arrive?

170
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:34,260
And what we're trying to do is answer as
many questions as possible as we work

171
00:11:34,260 --> 00:11:35,780
through this Q&A and today.

172
00:11:35,780 --> 00:11:38,010
And as Errol
mentioned, we know there are gonna be some

173
00:11:38,010 --> 00:11:41,770
questions that don't get answered, but
we've come up with ways to do that and

174
00:11:41,770 --> 00:11:45,680
to provide you the information
that you will receive later on.

175
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:50,260
My sole responsibility to IUPUI is to make
sure students are successful in working

176
00:11:50,260 --> 00:11:53,640
with my team from the time that
a student raises their hand and

177
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,560
say I'm interested,
to the time that they graduate.

178
00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:00,000
And my offices provide a lot
of services to students,

179
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,980
the Office of Financial Services, it
provides financial aid and scholarships.

180
00:12:04,980 --> 00:12:07,780
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions,
who are not only just recruiting students

181
00:12:07,780 --> 00:12:08,780
but

182
00:12:08,780 --> 00:12:09,780
also helping in the transition.

183
00:12:09,780 --> 00:12:13,640
And the Office of the Registrar,
who basically is the brains, so

184
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,780
I would say, behind the operation,
what happens in the classroom and

185
00:12:16,780 --> 00:12:19,230
making sure that the classes
are on a schedule,

186
00:12:19,230 --> 00:12:22,990
and that we have an academic catalog,
and many many more things.

187
00:12:22,990 --> 00:12:26,550
And so, we feel like we're ready and

188
00:12:26,550 --> 00:12:30,730
the decision to be open in
the fall both on campus and

189
00:12:30,730 --> 00:12:35,050
also in a virtual environment, I think
would be wonderful as we move forward.

190
00:12:35,050 --> 00:12:39,830
So again welcome, and Errol we'll shoot
it back to you to start the Q&A.

191
00:12:39,830 --> 00:12:42,510
>> All right.

192
00:12:42,510 --> 00:12:47,010
So again, just a quick reminder
of what the process is gonna be.

193
00:12:47,010 --> 00:12:50,530
Right at the bottom, you'll have
the opportunity to submit questions live,

194
00:12:50,530 --> 00:12:53,700
we have a team reviewing it, and
then they'll pass them along to me.

195
00:12:53,700 --> 00:12:55,450
So if you see me look over to the right,

196
00:12:55,450 --> 00:12:57,650
it's not because I'm not
paying attention to you.

197
00:12:57,650 --> 00:13:01,190
I'm making sure that we're
sifting through those questions.

198
00:13:01,190 --> 00:13:06,110
And then, also keep in mind that any
questions that do not get answered,

199
00:13:06,110 --> 00:13:11,830
there will be an opportunity for
you to schedule a individualized

200
00:13:11,830 --> 00:13:14,420
admissions counseling appointment
with one of our team members.

201
00:13:14,420 --> 00:13:17,680
And we'll talk about
that at the end as well.

202
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:19,240
And we're gonna hop
right into the question.

203
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,280
So the six things that we
really gathered that you all

204
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,350
from your house questions are,
housing, orientation, and

205
00:13:26,350 --> 00:13:30,990
Summer Bridge week, financial aid and
scholarships, tuition and

206
00:13:30,990 --> 00:13:35,660
fees, fall instruction methods,
and then fall student experience.

207
00:13:35,660 --> 00:13:38,940
You'll notice I put two concepts
together in one for some of them,

208
00:13:38,940 --> 00:13:41,680
so that may not have sounded like six but
I promise it was.

209
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:44,130
We are going to hit all of those, okay?

210
00:13:44,130 --> 00:13:48,080
And we are going to start with really
the hot topic that we've seen from

211
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,420
you all in terms of
the fall instruction.

212
00:13:51,420 --> 00:13:54,780
So our first question.

213
00:13:54,780 --> 00:13:58,400
Our first question in terms of fall
instruction has to do with the way that

214
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,390
the fall is going to look.

215
00:14:00,390 --> 00:14:04,820
So, what will attending
classes look like in the fall?

216
00:14:04,820 --> 00:14:08,430
And will there be a mix of in person and
online days?

217
00:14:08,430 --> 00:14:12,689
I'm gonna pass that to Dr.
Jay Gladden to take, Dr. Gladden.

218
00:14:12,689 --> 00:14:16,840
>> Thanks, Errol, and
good evening to everybody out there.

219
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:17,920
A little background on myself.

220
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,330
I've been at IUPUI for
almost 11 years now.

221
00:14:21,330 --> 00:14:25,050
And in my work I oversee orientation,
bridge week,

222
00:14:25,050 --> 00:14:29,250
the entire first year experience,
academic and career development

223
00:14:29,250 --> 00:14:35,280
on campus, as well as a number of peer
mentoring programs, the Honors College,

224
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,570
and our institute for engaged learning
that strives to create as many neat and

225
00:14:39,570 --> 00:14:43,370
deep enhanced on-line learning
experiences for our students.

226
00:14:43,370 --> 00:14:45,690
To your question, Errol, specifically,
what will the fall look like?

227
00:14:45,690 --> 00:14:50,050
Well, as Chancellor Paydar mentioned, we
are very focused on ensuring the safety of

228
00:14:50,050 --> 00:14:52,800
our community, that's first and foremost.

229
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,790
And certainly,
the classrooms will look different.

230
00:14:55,790 --> 00:14:58,310
There won't be as many people
in each of the classrooms,

231
00:14:58,310 --> 00:15:03,650
they won't be filled to capacity like
many of our classrooms usually are.

232
00:15:03,650 --> 00:15:07,410
So people will be spaced.

233
00:15:07,410 --> 00:15:11,620
While things will be looking different in
the classroom, our goal is that things and

234
00:15:11,620 --> 00:15:14,700
the key things that we do
here at IUPUI feel the same.

235
00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:18,710
So in large part of
the goal is that we'll have

236
00:15:18,710 --> 00:15:23,480
a mix of face to face and remote work.

237
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,180
And the face to face instruction is really
going to be focused on helping students

238
00:15:28,180 --> 00:15:29,670
more deeply engage in the material.

239
00:15:29,670 --> 00:15:32,520
So think of it as perhaps
watching a lecture online.

240
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:38,060
And then, having a face to face
interaction in a classroom with fellow

241
00:15:38,060 --> 00:15:43,420
students and an instructor to discuss
the material, to ask questions or

242
00:15:43,420 --> 00:15:47,390
maybe even to go deeper and work on
a project or an assignment together.

243
00:15:47,390 --> 00:15:49,200
So that's a brief snapshot.

244
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,230
Now that is true from August
24th through November 20th,

245
00:15:53,230 --> 00:15:57,600
the final three weeks of the fall
semester we will be completely online,

246
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,330
given the predictions around
a second spike in the coronavirus.

247
00:16:00,330 --> 00:16:04,351
We've made the decision to
conduct the last three weeks of

248
00:16:04,351 --> 00:16:08,090
the semester in a completely
online environment.

249
00:16:08,090 --> 00:16:13,900
>> Okay, thank you,
that question came from Jay.

250
00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:17,440
If you're in the audience, we wanna
thank you for submitting that question.

251
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:23,270
So, Dr. Gladden,
do you have any feedback in terms of how

252
00:16:23,270 --> 00:16:30,040
a student may know if class is going to be
online or if they're going to be in person?

253
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:35,020
>> Sure, and so our folks right now
are really busy first, toward the end of

254
00:16:35,020 --> 00:16:38,690
figuring out what the actual capacities
of each of our classrooms are.

255
00:16:38,690 --> 00:16:44,290
And then we're working with our
academic units [COUGH] to essentially

256
00:16:44,290 --> 00:16:49,300
identify how each of the courses will
be offered in the fall semester.

257
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:52,820
All that work and students should be
able to see the delivery format for

258
00:16:52,820 --> 00:16:55,090
their courses by mid July.

259
00:16:55,090 --> 00:16:59,010
The student will be notified and
given instructions on how to look at that,

260
00:16:59,010 --> 00:17:05,650
at which time if the student wants to or
if you want to adjust your schedule,

261
00:17:05,650 --> 00:17:13,240
there will be an opportunity to
do that by consulting advisors.

262
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,240
>> Thank you.

263
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,839
So another hot topic that has
emerged is around housing.

264
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:20,390
This one is from Jaylin Clark.

265
00:17:20,390 --> 00:17:32,110
And the question is, I have a housing
contract, when do we move in?

266
00:17:32,110 --> 00:17:34,759
>> Happy to answer that question.

267
00:17:34,759 --> 00:17:37,539
>> Thank you Dr. Weldy.

268
00:17:37,539 --> 00:17:43,580
>> Yeah, so obviously, pre COVID-19
we would have a couple of days,

269
00:17:43,580 --> 00:17:49,410
a Friday, Saturday, which would be the
official move in dates for new students.

270
00:17:49,410 --> 00:17:54,680
Obviously, with social distancing and
other guidelines that have been set,

271
00:17:54,680 --> 00:18:01,600
we're gonna take a different approach
this fall to kick off, move in.

272
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,240
So what we're going to do is that
students will be moving in anywhere from

273
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:11,740
seven to ten days before the start
of classes on August 24th.

274
00:18:11,740 --> 00:18:16,140
And so this will obviously allow for
social distancing for

275
00:18:16,140 --> 00:18:23,720
us and so forth, so
it'll be definitely a different approach.

276
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,290
Students will receive more information
as the fall semester draws

277
00:18:27,290 --> 00:18:32,540
near on all the details of registering for
move in and so forth.

278
00:18:32,540 --> 00:18:38,970
>> Okay, thank you, sir.

279
00:18:38,970 --> 00:18:43,300
So, this is another question
related to housing.

280
00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:50,450
When it comes to the plans for
responding to COVID-19 and

281
00:18:50,450 --> 00:18:53,300
making sure that students that are living
in the residence halls are safe.

282
00:18:53,300 --> 00:18:57,530
Can you speak about that in
terms of what the Division of

283
00:18:57,530 --> 00:19:00,440
Student Affairs' response is to that.

284
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,880
>> Yes, happy to do so.

285
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,910
One of the changes that we
have this year is that we've

286
00:19:08,910 --> 00:19:13,680
been directed to provide single
occupancy rooms for the fall.

287
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,809
But we are making exceptions for

288
00:19:15,809 --> 00:19:20,050
those students who make
mutual roommate requests.

289
00:19:20,050 --> 00:19:25,510
So roommate request is a voluntary
process that students will initiate and

290
00:19:25,510 --> 00:19:27,830
that we will not be initiating.

291
00:19:27,830 --> 00:19:31,950
So students, they're rooming
with someone because they have

292
00:19:31,950 --> 00:19:35,910
mutually selected their roommate.

293
00:19:35,910 --> 00:19:37,610
Other things that we'll
be doing obviously,

294
00:19:37,610 --> 00:19:43,970
as from the standpoint of making sure
that surfaces are cleaned daily.

295
00:19:43,970 --> 00:19:50,250
We will also be providing
students with what they need from

296
00:19:50,250 --> 00:19:56,820
the standpoint of cleaning their
areas on their floors and so forth.

297
00:19:56,820 --> 00:20:02,440
So the approach obviously, will be
much different than in previous years,

298
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,260
but we're taking every
precaution necessary to

299
00:20:05,260 --> 00:20:11,040
make sure that we have
a safe, healthy environment.

300
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,440
>> Okay, thank you.

301
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,309
So the way that it sounds, Dr. Weldy,

302
00:20:17,309 --> 00:20:20,870
I've safely been going to
the grocery store wearing my mask,

303
00:20:20,870 --> 00:20:24,590
wearing my gloves, and there's a ton
of precautions that they've taken.

304
00:20:24,590 --> 00:20:29,050
They're wiping down carts,
they're doing social distancing.

305
00:20:29,050 --> 00:20:33,150
And it sounds like you all have been doing
an incredible job of really thinking ahead

306
00:20:33,150 --> 00:20:37,050
to ensure that the residence
halls have a similar degree

307
00:20:37,050 --> 00:20:42,830
of intentionality to ensure
that there's a sanitary space.

308
00:20:42,830 --> 00:20:47,679
Not to mention just all of
the research that we've done

309
00:20:47,679 --> 00:20:51,730
in terms of COVID-19 to ensure that we're
following best practices nationally.

310
00:20:51,730 --> 00:20:53,530
So thank you for that answer.

311
00:20:53,530 --> 00:20:59,160
We're gonna shift to
a question on textbooks.

312
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,180
And so once your students start renting
and buying textbooks in preparation for

313
00:21:03,180 --> 00:21:09,260
the fall, so Dr. Bradshaw,
would you like to take this question?

314
00:21:09,260 --> 00:21:12,910
>> Thank you Errol.

315
00:21:12,910 --> 00:21:19,070
So the textbook question is
a good question, and as Dr.

316
00:21:19,070 --> 00:21:23,660
Gladden had mentioned earlier that
we are working right now behind

317
00:21:23,660 --> 00:21:29,720
the scenes to determine what courses
are going to be in what format.

318
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:34,429
And by mid July we will
have made that decision.

319
00:21:34,429 --> 00:21:37,790
At which point and then more
information would become available

320
00:21:37,790 --> 00:21:42,270
about the textbooks in the options.

321
00:21:42,270 --> 00:21:45,500
Understanding students situations,
you may not be able to come to campus,

322
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:49,330
you may choose not to come to
campus to pick up the textbook.

323
00:21:49,330 --> 00:21:52,900
I know this is probably a very
popular question, Stephanie Keiner,

324
00:21:52,900 --> 00:21:57,483
that you're receiving in orientation, so
if there's anything that I've missed and

325
00:21:57,483 --> 00:22:00,509
that you think you could add on to that,
that would be great.

326
00:22:00,509 --> 00:22:04,430
>> Yes, sure, hi everyone,
I'm Stephanie Keiner, I'm the Director for

327
00:22:04,430 --> 00:22:06,590
Orientation Services.

328
00:22:06,590 --> 00:22:10,980
And yes, so once you're registered for
classes, so if you've met with an advisor

329
00:22:10,980 --> 00:22:14,500
and registered for classes, then you
will be able to go onto the Barnes and

330
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:17,380
Noble bookstore website and look and

331
00:22:17,380 --> 00:22:22,790
see if any of your books are currently
available for you to see what's available.

332
00:22:22,790 --> 00:22:26,540
So if the professor has already put
something in then it will be there.

333
00:22:26,540 --> 00:22:29,090
I would not recommend
purchasing books just yet.

334
00:22:29,090 --> 00:22:31,430
You can if you like.

335
00:22:31,430 --> 00:22:33,730
But as Dr. Bradshaw said,
some things could change or

336
00:22:33,730 --> 00:22:36,010
you might decide to change your schedule,
depending as Dr.

337
00:22:36,010 --> 00:22:39,559
Gladden said, so you might want to
hold off just a little bit.

338
00:22:39,559 --> 00:22:44,160
But if you're curious enough, and
you want to go check it out and see, like

339
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,130
I said, if you've already registered for
classes, you can definitely hop in there.

340
00:22:46,130 --> 00:22:48,540
And you'll be able to
see what is available.

341
00:22:48,540 --> 00:22:50,140
The bookstore is currently closed so

342
00:22:50,140 --> 00:22:52,600
coming to the bookstore is
not an option at this time.

343
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,809
But they do everything full
service through their website.

344
00:22:55,809 --> 00:23:01,300
So if you want to visit anything there,
they're also super folks to work with.

345
00:23:01,300 --> 00:23:04,309
So if you have any questions, please
feel free to reach out to the bookstore

346
00:23:04,309 --> 00:23:09,410
directly, and they'll be able to help
guide you in looking for those textbooks.

347
00:23:09,410 --> 00:23:12,100
>> So Stephanie, I wanna stay with you.

348
00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:15,360
Thank you for that response.

349
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:19,530
The Student Success Session as a part
of the orientation experience,

350
00:23:19,530 --> 00:23:24,410
there's a ton of resources that are there
in terms of IUPUI resources, housing,

351
00:23:24,410 --> 00:23:26,120
financial services, student affairs,
parking, your CrimsonCard,

352
00:23:26,120 --> 00:23:27,120
bookstore, student representatives.

353
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:32,990
Students are really getting a lot and

354
00:23:32,990 --> 00:23:36,070
I know there are several students in
this space who have gone through it.

355
00:23:36,070 --> 00:23:37,710
There are some that are waiting.

356
00:23:37,710 --> 00:23:41,230
There was a question in terms
of the academic advising piece.

357
00:23:41,230 --> 00:23:45,770
And a student wanna know,
specifically Alexander B,

358
00:23:45,770 --> 00:23:48,920
how do I switch to a dual degree
major from my current major?

359
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,490
Does that happen in
the Student Success Session?

360
00:23:51,490 --> 00:23:53,419
Is that somewhere in
the orientation experience?

361
00:23:53,419 --> 00:23:58,640
>> That was not and that's a little
bit of a specific situation.

362
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,910
So I would highly recommend if you've
already met with an academic advisor,

363
00:24:01,910 --> 00:24:03,820
reach back out to that academic advisor.

364
00:24:03,820 --> 00:24:07,590
If I understand the question correctly,
you're wanting to have two majors.

365
00:24:07,590 --> 00:24:13,090
You're wanting to have a double major
if I understand the question correctly.

366
00:24:13,090 --> 00:24:17,780
And so with that, what you'll need to do
is meet with the advisor that you first

367
00:24:17,780 --> 00:24:22,570
submitted as for your application to
IUPUI that you chose as your major.

368
00:24:22,570 --> 00:24:24,850
That's the advisor that
you should start with and

369
00:24:24,850 --> 00:24:27,720
mention to that advisor when you're
meeting with them that you're interested

370
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,890
in having a double major pathway.

371
00:24:30,890 --> 00:24:33,930
And that advisor will be able to
send you in the correct direction

372
00:24:33,930 --> 00:24:35,850
to make sure that you're meeting
with the other school and

373
00:24:35,850 --> 00:24:40,650
the other advisor to make sure
that you're not doubling effort.

374
00:24:40,650 --> 00:24:43,310
You want to make sure that you're taking
classes that are going to progress you

375
00:24:43,310 --> 00:24:47,650
through and not add a whole bunch
of extra time as you do that.

376
00:24:47,650 --> 00:24:48,880
So that sounds fantastic.

377
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,540
Good for you for being eager to do that.

378
00:24:52,540 --> 00:24:56,580
Definitely check with the academic
advisors to make sure that that happens.

379
00:24:56,580 --> 00:24:59,930
>> A live question just
came in from Stephanie.

380
00:24:59,930 --> 00:25:03,140
Excuse me, from Alex, you're Stephanie.

381
00:25:03,140 --> 00:25:06,919
>> How does one set up an appointment
with an academic advisor?

382
00:25:06,919 --> 00:25:12,549
>> Absolutely, so
we have designed a 12-step orientation,

383
00:25:12,549 --> 00:25:15,299
virtual orientation experience for you.

384
00:25:15,299 --> 00:25:18,000
And as you start that virtual
orientation experience,

385
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,660
you'll progress through 12 steps.

386
00:25:20,660 --> 00:25:26,160
About step six is the information to
schedule an appointment with an advisor.

387
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,520
And you can do that at any time.

388
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,980
You don't have to wait for
your Student Success Session.

389
00:25:29,980 --> 00:25:33,070
You don't have to wait until
you complete placement tests.

390
00:25:33,070 --> 00:25:35,370
You can go ahead and
make that appointment now.

391
00:25:35,370 --> 00:25:38,260
We do highly recommend that you go
ahead and take those placement tests

392
00:25:38,260 --> 00:25:42,300
at least 48 hours in advance
of that advising appointment.

393
00:25:42,300 --> 00:25:45,460
So that way the advisor is fully
prepared to get you set for

394
00:25:45,460 --> 00:25:47,610
your first semester schedule.

395
00:25:47,610 --> 00:25:51,530
If you haven't visited the virtual
orientation website, please do so.

396
00:25:51,530 --> 00:25:54,549
You can find it at orientation.iupui.edu.

397
00:25:54,549 --> 00:25:59,570
In the top left, there's a button
that says virtual orientation.

398
00:25:59,570 --> 00:26:02,660
Once you click on that, you're gonna
see that there's four sections.

399
00:26:02,660 --> 00:26:07,260
The first section takes you through
a few pieces such as placement test.

400
00:26:07,260 --> 00:26:10,390
The second section is
all about advising and

401
00:26:10,390 --> 00:26:13,370
how to get prepared for
that advising appointment.

402
00:26:13,370 --> 00:26:17,160
And then the third and fourth sections
have lots of general information that we

403
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:22,020
want you to be aware of as you progress
through campus or progress to campus.

404
00:26:22,020 --> 00:26:24,530
However, you can view that
information at your leisure

405
00:26:24,530 --> 00:26:26,110
whenever it's convenient for you.

406
00:26:26,110 --> 00:26:27,110
We just want you to get

407
00:26:27,110 --> 00:26:29,120
through that information prior
to the start of the semester.

408
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:30,280
So you're aware and

409
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,880
have all the information that you need
to make the successful transition.

410
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,580
>> Okay, and
just wanna let everybody know right below,

411
00:26:37,580 --> 00:26:42,690
there is a link to what
Stephanie was talking about and

412
00:26:42,690 --> 00:26:46,770
you'll be able to see more
details in terms of that link.

413
00:26:46,770 --> 00:26:51,160
So this is a question for Dr. Weldy and

414
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,020
what the on-campus social
experience is going to look like.

415
00:26:55,020 --> 00:26:59,340
Can you talk about how social
gatherings will be approached for

416
00:26:59,340 --> 00:27:03,770
when students want to come together and
not only from a safety standpoint but

417
00:27:03,770 --> 00:27:08,980
also from the standpoint of division of
how that's going to look in the fall?

418
00:27:08,980 --> 00:27:11,799
>> Yes, thank you very much.

419
00:27:11,799 --> 00:27:17,980
What I can tell you in regards to social
advance and student activities on campus

420
00:27:17,980 --> 00:27:25,120
is that there will be both a virtual
component to our activities and

421
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:29,590
programs, as well as some
face-to-face interactions as well.

422
00:27:29,590 --> 00:27:34,890
I think if you want to learn more about
the clubs and organizations on campus,

423
00:27:34,890 --> 00:27:41,049
I would strongly suggest if you
have not already to visit The Spot,

424
00:27:41,049 --> 00:27:45,960
which is the new name for
what was previously called The Den.

425
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:51,750
And it's located at theden.iupui.edu.

426
00:27:51,750 --> 00:27:55,919
And you go there to learn more about
our on-campus student organizations.

427
00:27:55,919 --> 00:27:59,210
We do have some activities
at the beginning of the year

428
00:27:59,210 --> 00:28:03,390
that are long standing
traditions at IUPUI.

429
00:28:03,390 --> 00:28:06,870
One is the Weeks of Welcome and
the other is Regatta.

430
00:28:06,870 --> 00:28:10,810
And so I can tell you that
both Weeks of Welcome and

431
00:28:10,810 --> 00:28:14,520
Regatta will be taking place this year,
but

432
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:19,230
we'll have a virtual component to them
with some face-to-face interactions.

433
00:28:19,230 --> 00:28:26,010
Obviously, we have to limit
the size of some of our activities.

434
00:28:26,010 --> 00:28:30,679
And so what you'll find on campus is
that you'll find that a number of

435
00:28:30,679 --> 00:28:36,590
events will be taking place outdoors,
which will be great.

436
00:28:36,590 --> 00:28:43,809
So it'll allow for really more spacing and
more interaction amongst our student body.

437
00:28:43,809 --> 00:28:48,559
But we're really looking at focusing on
how best to engage our students whether

438
00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:52,760
you're you'll be taking classes
virtually or face to face.

439
00:28:52,760 --> 00:29:01,190
>> I want to bring Dr. Shabazz in,
who leads our Multicultural Center and

440
00:29:01,190 --> 00:29:04,010
does a tremendous amount of work
around our diversity efforts.

441
00:29:04,010 --> 00:29:09,030
Can you talk a little bit about
the on-campus experience from a diversity

442
00:29:09,030 --> 00:29:12,740
standpoint, especially as we're
looking at a new cycle that's showing

443
00:29:12,740 --> 00:29:17,160
a lot around race as a as a result
of the tragedies that have happened?

444
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:22,980
Can you talk about IUPUI's approach
in terms of those campus resources?

445
00:29:22,980 --> 00:29:26,460
>> Absolutely, good evening, everyone.

446
00:29:26,460 --> 00:29:30,110
On behalf of the Division of Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion, and

447
00:29:30,110 --> 00:29:34,610
Multicultural Center, and the LGBTQ+
Center, I want to welcome you to IUPUI.

448
00:29:34,610 --> 00:29:40,460
As a fellow alumni, I am excited to
have you all join us this evening and

449
00:29:40,460 --> 00:29:42,480
see you soon this fall.

450
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:47,990
The Multicultural Center and the LGBTQ+
Center have really been working hard to

451
00:29:47,990 --> 00:29:54,030
make sure that we are doing our part to
advance the social change on our campus

452
00:29:54,030 --> 00:30:00,870
in our city but also to provide a diverse,
equitable, and safe campus environment.

453
00:30:00,870 --> 00:30:05,250
We believe in having constructive
opportunities for dialogue,

454
00:30:05,250 --> 00:30:11,580
creating opportunities for people to learn
and engage with a difference in all forms.

455
00:30:11,580 --> 00:30:15,980
So we welcome you to take a look at
many of the resources that we have on

456
00:30:15,980 --> 00:30:19,590
the diversity.iupui.edu web page.

457
00:30:19,590 --> 00:30:24,830
We have a variety of educational books,
articles, videos,

458
00:30:24,830 --> 00:30:27,710
movies, links to a number
of things to help

459
00:30:27,710 --> 00:30:32,380
you really understand the way we see
stability in the way that we see social

460
00:30:32,380 --> 00:30:36,850
justice in the form of being
a jaguar and coming together.

461
00:30:36,850 --> 00:30:41,410
So there will be plenty of things
to do to engage in virtually across our

462
00:30:41,410 --> 00:30:43,299
campus coming this fall.

463
00:30:43,299 --> 00:30:47,510
And into the spring that will really allow
opportunities to get to know yourselves

464
00:30:47,510 --> 00:30:49,100
a little bit better.

465
00:30:49,100 --> 00:30:52,370
But also get to know each other and

466
00:30:52,370 --> 00:30:55,690
be able to really work to
advance the social change.

467
00:30:55,690 --> 00:31:02,090
>> Thank you so much Dr Shabazz,
it sounds students have something

468
00:31:02,090 --> 00:31:06,690
to look forward to in terms
of the student experience and

469
00:31:06,690 --> 00:31:09,919
opportunities to engage one another.

470
00:31:09,919 --> 00:31:14,460
It's going to be a mix of in person and
in virtual, but

471
00:31:14,460 --> 00:31:16,970
it's going to be thoughtful and impactful.

472
00:31:16,970 --> 00:31:24,980
So that's exciting to hear, so
the summertime, we have orientation and

473
00:31:24,980 --> 00:31:28,470
after orientation there is something
called Summer Bridge week.

474
00:31:28,470 --> 00:31:31,429
And so you all have gotten
communication around this and

475
00:31:31,429 --> 00:31:34,840
we encourage all incoming students
to take advantage of this.

476
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:39,960
I'd like to bring in Dr.
Gladden to answer a question and

477
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:46,289
in regards to how the Summer Bridge
week in the program is gonna work,

478
00:31:46,289 --> 00:31:48,710
and is there still going to be a move in and

479
00:31:48,710 --> 00:31:51,919
this question came from from Jolene Boyd.

480
00:31:51,919 --> 00:31:54,470
>> Well, thanks for the question.

481
00:31:54,470 --> 00:31:59,919
And I will begin the answer, and then
I'm going to hand it off to my colleague,

482
00:31:59,919 --> 00:32:05,330
Heather Bowman, who actually
coordinates the bridge week program.

483
00:32:05,330 --> 00:32:09,851
But I am excited to let everyone know
that for the first time ever, every

484
00:32:09,851 --> 00:32:14,429
freshman is gonna have an opportunity
to take a part in our bridge week,

485
00:32:14,429 --> 00:32:20,900
which will happen the week before classes
start, so August 17th to August 21st.

486
00:32:20,900 --> 00:32:24,799
And it's going to be a mix of virtual and
remote activities.

487
00:32:24,799 --> 00:32:27,940
Some of those will be what's called
synchronous, meaning they'll be live,

488
00:32:27,940 --> 00:32:29,210
just like we're doing right now.

489
00:32:29,210 --> 00:32:30,580
And some will be asynchronous, so

490
00:32:30,580 --> 00:32:35,740
maybe viewing a video on some of
the resources that existed on IUPUI.

491
00:32:35,740 --> 00:32:40,950
This will be complemented by some face-
to-face activities that are optional.

492
00:32:40,950 --> 00:32:45,620
But on campus and going back to this
just the notion of movement that Dr.

493
00:32:45,620 --> 00:32:50,030
Weldy spoke about, we envision a lot of
outdoor activities given the great weather

494
00:32:50,030 --> 00:32:52,190
we tend to have in August and September.

495
00:32:52,190 --> 00:32:56,330
But in particular in August, we should be
able to do a number of optional bridge

496
00:32:56,330 --> 00:33:00,550
week activities outside
on the IUPUI campus.

497
00:33:00,550 --> 00:33:03,460
At this point, I just like to give Heather
a chance to talk a little bit more in

498
00:33:03,460 --> 00:33:04,460
detail about that.

499
00:33:04,460 --> 00:33:09,200
>> Great, thank you,
so I'm Heather Bowman.

500
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,400
I'm director of First Year Experience
at IUPUI and we are so

501
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,130
excited to offer bridge week to
all of our freshmen this year.

502
00:33:17,130 --> 00:33:22,010
This is a program that's happened on our
campus for 20 years and in every one of

503
00:33:22,010 --> 00:33:25,000
those 20 years, we have students who
didn't get a chance to participate.

504
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,310
Because by this point in
the summer it's really full.

505
00:33:28,310 --> 00:33:32,380
And we're running waiting lists, and
so it's incredibly exciting to us we

506
00:33:32,380 --> 00:33:37,270
get to open this program up to
all incoming freshmen this year.

507
00:33:37,270 --> 00:33:41,760
Our goal in bridge week is really to give
you all the tools that you need to hit

508
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,710
the ground running that
first week of classes.

509
00:33:44,710 --> 00:33:50,570
So everything from sessions on what
do professors expect from you to how

510
00:33:50,570 --> 00:33:55,130
the library works, to how do you actually
get involved with all those student

511
00:33:55,130 --> 00:34:00,030
organizations that Chancellor Paydar
mentioned, how do you start that process?

512
00:34:00,030 --> 00:34:03,070
How do you connect to the school or
major that you've chosen?

513
00:34:03,070 --> 00:34:05,789
Or how do you find one if
you're still exploring?

514
00:34:05,789 --> 00:34:10,119
We even this year are adding some
sessions for parents and families.

515
00:34:10,119 --> 00:34:14,970
We know that you are key to supporting
your student during this what's a really

516
00:34:14,970 --> 00:34:18,310
big transition and we know it's a really
big transition for you as well.

517
00:34:18,310 --> 00:34:21,869
So adding some sessions for
parents and families this year.

518
00:34:21,869 --> 00:34:27,250
But really again, our goal is to get all
your questions answered and to let you

519
00:34:27,250 --> 00:34:32,580
start connecting with faculty and with
students who are currently at IUPUI and

520
00:34:32,580 --> 00:34:34,960
having great success and
getting to know each other.

521
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,320
So making friends among the class of 2024.

522
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,230
Again, it's the first time we've opened
this program to all students and

523
00:34:42,230 --> 00:34:46,110
we're hoping that this becomes a new
tradition on the IUPUI campus.

524
00:34:46,110 --> 00:34:49,619
So we're really excited that that
tradition is going to start with the class

525
00:34:49,619 --> 00:34:51,119
of 2024.

526
00:34:51,119 --> 00:34:56,410
>> That sounds great, and
the Zoom experience, although you all

527
00:34:56,410 --> 00:35:02,250
are experiencing us right now, us through
chat and us speaking directly to you.

528
00:35:02,250 --> 00:35:06,260
We're getting very creative in terms
of how we re-engage students within

529
00:35:06,260 --> 00:35:11,080
this Zoom space, breakout rooms,
group conversations.

530
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,800
Giving you an opportunity to connect
with one another and feel a sense of

531
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:20,090
community before you come to IUPUI, as
we know that's really important for you.

532
00:35:20,090 --> 00:35:23,190
So this next question important
to students, but absolutely,

533
00:35:23,190 --> 00:35:27,960
we know it's important to parents,
financial aid and money.

534
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,070
So we're gonna bring Dr.

535
00:35:29,070 --> 00:35:35,200
Bradshaw back for this question and
this one is from JT Pour.

536
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,340
And the question is when will
we find out what financial

537
00:35:39,340 --> 00:35:42,000
aid packages we will receive.

538
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,829
Dr. Bradshaw?

539
00:35:43,829 --> 00:35:45,830
>> Thank you Errol, and

540
00:35:45,830 --> 00:35:50,109
I have the right expert in the room with
us today to kind of answer that question.

541
00:35:50,109 --> 00:35:52,880
And it also gives me
an opportunity to introduce Mr.

542
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,070
Marvin Smith,
who is our Director of Student

543
00:35:56,070 --> 00:35:57,240
Financial Services here at IUPUI and

544
00:35:57,240 --> 00:36:02,440
we have been working very hard behind
the scenes with our students.

545
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,230
Both our continuing students,
but also our new students

546
00:36:05,230 --> 00:36:10,820
in making sure that our financial aid
packages are out in a timely manner.

547
00:36:10,820 --> 00:36:15,269
So Marvin, would you like to share
a bit of information about timing?

548
00:36:15,269 --> 00:36:20,980
>> Sure, so and I've seen a few
questions that are in the chat.

549
00:36:20,980 --> 00:36:25,660
The bill for
the fall semester tuition is coming

550
00:36:25,660 --> 00:36:31,290
out in August and is due September 10th.

551
00:36:31,290 --> 00:36:36,660
The financial aid that students
receive will be applied to that bill,

552
00:36:36,660 --> 00:36:42,760
and then any excess that doesn't
go towards tuition fees and

553
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:47,119
housing is refunded back to the student.

554
00:36:47,119 --> 00:36:51,560
That process begins the week
before classes start.

555
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,200
So if you have set up direct deposit and

556
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,330
you're expecting financial aid funds back,

557
00:36:59,330 --> 00:37:07,250
you could have a refund as early as
August 20th, somewhere around there.

558
00:37:07,250 --> 00:37:12,450
So I think that we really highlight
this in the Student Success Sessions.

559
00:37:12,450 --> 00:37:16,360
I encourage you to definitely sign up for
that.

560
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,349
I think that's another term for
orientation this summer,

561
00:37:19,349 --> 00:37:23,330
Cause I saw that as another
question in the chat.

562
00:37:23,330 --> 00:37:26,450
Encourage you to sign up for
Student Success Session and

563
00:37:26,450 --> 00:37:31,680
we will talk to you about everything
there is to know about financial aid.

564
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,600
We know this is a confusing topic.

565
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:40,690
If you are not aware of
your financial aid awards,

566
00:37:40,690 --> 00:37:45,270
you can go into the self-service
system and see your awards.

567
00:37:45,270 --> 00:37:52,349
You can also call us and email us and
I'll put that information in the chat.

568
00:37:52,349 --> 00:37:57,050
>> Okay, so very good and
again at the end we're gonna.

569
00:37:57,050 --> 00:38:01,070
Many of you all have been working with
admissions counselors that you've become

570
00:38:01,070 --> 00:38:04,300
very familiar with and you've met
academic advisors from your schools.

571
00:38:04,300 --> 00:38:07,680
And of course, you've talked
with financial aid counselors,

572
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,820
you've got people that can get
you to the right place and

573
00:38:09,820 --> 00:38:15,590
we want to make sure the money conversation,
you feel really good about that.

574
00:38:15,590 --> 00:38:19,720
And so we'll come back to some more
questions as you put them into the chat

575
00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:21,340
around finances.

576
00:38:21,340 --> 00:38:26,100
I wanna go to another
question in terms of housing,

577
00:38:26,100 --> 00:38:30,260
we want to bring Dr.
Weldy back to this to the conversation.

578
00:38:30,260 --> 00:38:36,730
This is from Nadia and she said I have
a housing contract at University Tower.

579
00:38:36,730 --> 00:38:40,370
If I don't request a roommate,
will it be moved to a different dorm?

580
00:38:40,370 --> 00:38:44,280
I think this is in relation to the
self-selecting roommate process that we

581
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:49,690
have in place as part of our
COVID-19 safety precautions.

582
00:38:49,690 --> 00:38:54,140
Can you speak on the singles versus
the double standard and practice for

583
00:38:54,140 --> 00:38:57,340
housing and residence life, please?

584
00:38:57,340 --> 00:39:01,960
>> Yes, so
in regards to having a contract,

585
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,350
if you have not selected a roommate,
once again,

586
00:39:04,350 --> 00:39:09,230
I would strongly suggest
that you identify someone

587
00:39:09,230 --> 00:39:15,410
mutually in regards to having a roommate.

588
00:39:15,410 --> 00:39:22,359
If not, then there's a possibility
that you could end up

589
00:39:22,359 --> 00:39:27,570
in a single occupancy room,
but your chances are better

590
00:39:27,570 --> 00:39:32,440
from the standpoint of identifying
a roommate for the coming year.

591
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,310
The Tower, we have doubles in the Tower.

592
00:39:36,310 --> 00:39:40,349
So if you are seeking
a single occupancy room,

593
00:39:40,349 --> 00:39:46,190
the odds are that you will end
up in another residence hall.

594
00:39:46,190 --> 00:39:49,119
>> So that's an important disclaimer,
okay?

595
00:39:49,119 --> 00:39:51,170
And so we as

596
00:39:51,170 --> 00:39:56,920
the University are not a part of
facilitating the roommate process.

597
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:02,200
But this is a great opportunity to
promote the Facebook class of 2024 group.

598
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,510
A lot of great conversation between
students asking the question

599
00:40:06,510 --> 00:40:09,290
in regards to who's going to
be living on campus?

600
00:40:09,290 --> 00:40:11,310
Do you want to room together?

601
00:40:11,310 --> 00:40:14,250
Another great idea, I know we've
got a lot of our academic units and

602
00:40:14,250 --> 00:40:16,150
they have admissions partners, and

603
00:40:16,150 --> 00:40:19,849
several of you all have been working
with them throughout the cycle.

604
00:40:19,849 --> 00:40:23,980
Talk to your academic unit as well and
say, hey, can you help?

605
00:40:23,980 --> 00:40:24,980
Is there an opportunity for

606
00:40:24,980 --> 00:40:32,020
us to talk with some of our peer incoming
students that are from the same major?

607
00:40:32,020 --> 00:40:34,700
Now they can't help in
terms of that process,

608
00:40:34,700 --> 00:40:36,790
you have to put yourself out there.

609
00:40:36,790 --> 00:40:39,320
But we certainly don't want to put you out
of

610
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:40,990
the Tower if that's where you want to be.

611
00:40:40,990 --> 00:40:44,720
But from Dr. Weldy, what he shared,

612
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:49,099
we're going to have to make sure
that you have a roommate, okay?

613
00:40:49,099 --> 00:40:54,370
So our next question, I'm going to

614
00:40:54,370 --> 00:40:58,450
go, Okay, this is from Elise.

615
00:40:58,450 --> 00:41:04,950
And this is going to go back to Dr.
Gladden, and it's in regards to classes.

616
00:41:04,950 --> 00:41:09,200
So our biggest question is when will
out students know if the classes that

617
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:13,350
she has already registered for
will be moved online,

618
00:41:13,350 --> 00:41:16,099
take place on campus, or be hybrid?

619
00:41:16,099 --> 00:41:20,640
You have a general sense of when
that is is going to be Dr. Gladden?

620
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:26,339
>> Yes, again by mid July is
when we expect all of that

621
00:41:26,339 --> 00:41:29,330
information to be fully
available to students.

622
00:41:29,330 --> 00:41:34,680
And they will receive a notification with
directions on how to see that information

623
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:35,810
when it becomes available.

624
00:41:35,810 --> 00:41:43,380
So by mid July, students will be able to
see what format their course will be in.

625
00:41:43,380 --> 00:41:47,820
So I hope that answers the question.

626
00:41:47,820 --> 00:41:53,740
>> So many of you have been doing a great
job on staying up to date on your emails,

627
00:41:53,740 --> 00:41:54,740
okay?

628
00:41:54,740 --> 00:41:59,290
We're gonna keep engaging you via email,
and you can also engage us at

629
00:41:59,290 --> 00:42:03,280
any time pick up the phone and call and
check and say, hey, is there an update?

630
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:07,160
But we're going to be proactively pushing
information out there to you all so

631
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:11,089
you feel confident that you have
all the details that you need.

632
00:42:11,089 --> 00:42:15,550
And let me just say this again,
you can't reach out to us too much, okay?

633
00:42:15,550 --> 00:42:18,240
We're here to partner with
you as we go through this.

634
00:42:18,240 --> 00:42:21,540
And just know,
we have students out there that,

635
00:42:21,540 --> 00:42:23,280
have parents that have gone to college.

636
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,780
We have first generation college
students that are out there.

637
00:42:25,780 --> 00:42:28,110
We've got students from rural Indiana.

638
00:42:28,110 --> 00:42:33,880
We have students from out of state,
students from Indianapolis area.

639
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,470
We want to engage all of you all and
make sure that we answer those questions.

640
00:42:37,470 --> 00:42:41,290
So let's go to placement exam, I'm
gonna bring Stephanie back in for this.

641
00:42:41,290 --> 00:42:45,520
This is from Brianna,
when our placement exams

642
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,670
and/or orientation
required to be completed?

643
00:42:49,670 --> 00:42:52,460
>> Yeah, I assume you're
asking about a deadline, and

644
00:42:52,460 --> 00:42:55,900
there's not really a deadline per se.

645
00:42:55,900 --> 00:42:58,560
We want you to have that
placement test completed at

646
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,670
least 48 hours in advance of
your advising appointment.

647
00:43:02,670 --> 00:43:03,910
So that's kind of your deadline.

648
00:43:03,910 --> 00:43:05,900
If you have an advising appointment set,

649
00:43:05,900 --> 00:43:11,180
you want to have those placement tests
taken prior to that advising appointment.

650
00:43:11,180 --> 00:43:13,610
We will continue to do placement
tests all summer long.

651
00:43:13,610 --> 00:43:17,670
We will continue to have you meeting with
your advisor all summer long, however,

652
00:43:17,670 --> 00:43:20,500
sooner rather than later is better.

653
00:43:20,500 --> 00:43:23,710
We will have some outreach
happening starting in July

654
00:43:23,710 --> 00:43:28,690
with current undergraduate students who
will reach out to you to help you with

655
00:43:28,690 --> 00:43:33,300
the rest of the transition to
starting in the fall semester.

656
00:43:33,300 --> 00:43:36,330
So if you are registered and have classes,

657
00:43:36,330 --> 00:43:38,900
then that leader is going to start
reaching out to you then,

658
00:43:38,900 --> 00:43:41,690
as soon as you register that leader
will start reaching out to you then.

659
00:43:41,690 --> 00:43:46,470
So that outreach starts in July, and
so if you wanted to have a deadline

660
00:43:46,470 --> 00:43:51,240
as far as when to have everything
completed by, July 6 would be one.

661
00:43:51,240 --> 00:43:54,570
But again, whenever that advising
appointment is, we want you to make sure

662
00:43:54,570 --> 00:43:59,500
you have those placement tests completed
at least 48 hours in advancement of that.

663
00:43:59,500 --> 00:44:05,619
>> Okay I want to stay with you, Stephanie,
so in this period of inclusivity,

664
00:44:05,619 --> 00:44:09,530
because that's the ethic of who we
are in this institution at IUPUI.

665
00:44:09,530 --> 00:44:13,030
We do know going through
this COVID-19 crisis,

666
00:44:13,030 --> 00:44:17,630
that there are just student that
don't have reliable Internet and

667
00:44:17,630 --> 00:44:21,920
some students that, from an access
standpoint, they've had challenges.

668
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,450
Are there any accommodations
that are being made for

669
00:44:24,450 --> 00:44:27,490
those who may not be able to complete
their placement test online, and

670
00:44:27,490 --> 00:44:30,229
what would you advise
those individuals to do?

671
00:44:30,229 --> 00:44:33,730
>> Yeah, I think that just having
a conversation with your academic advisor

672
00:44:33,730 --> 00:44:38,280
and letting them know,
the University is providing free Wi-Fi.

673
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,210
But that would mean sitting in your car
taking a placement test which doesn't

674
00:44:42,210 --> 00:44:43,410
necessarily sound the most appealing.

675
00:44:43,410 --> 00:44:48,620
But it is an option if you should
need an opportunity to have Wi-Fi,

676
00:44:48,620 --> 00:44:49,980
there is available on campus.

677
00:44:49,980 --> 00:44:54,630
But I would reach out to the academic
advisor to let them know there are some

678
00:44:54,630 --> 00:45:01,690
things that they could be able to
suggest as far as making some decisions

679
00:45:01,690 --> 00:45:05,410
based on coursework that you've
done previously in high school.

680
00:45:05,410 --> 00:45:08,400
Also, if you've had any dual credit or
an AP,

681
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:12,440
there may be some decisions that each
individual school can make based on that.

682
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:20,340
So I would recommend if having
reliable Internet connection or

683
00:45:20,340 --> 00:45:26,160
Wi-Fi is something that is an issue,
on our website,

684
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,050
on the virtual orientation website,

685
00:45:28,050 --> 00:45:32,940
there is an opportunity to find out
where that free Wi-Fi is located.

686
00:45:32,940 --> 00:45:34,890
That is an option,
that is something that you can do.

687
00:45:34,890 --> 00:45:38,660
But I think reaching out to that advisor
and talking to that advisor about those

688
00:45:38,660 --> 00:45:44,180
constraints and concerns, they will be
able to offer some solutions as far as

689
00:45:44,180 --> 00:45:46,349
progressing through with
your course enrollment.

690
00:45:46,349 --> 00:45:54,050
>> I just also wanna add that there
are some local Cable companies and

691
00:45:54,050 --> 00:46:00,070
other organizations that are offering some
discounted and/or free Internet services.

692
00:46:00,070 --> 00:46:03,849
So contact your local providers to
see if you can make arrangements

693
00:46:03,849 --> 00:46:08,020
to access either the free or
reduced pricing on some of the access.

694
00:46:08,020 --> 00:46:14,240
I want to bring Dr. Weldy in to talk about
some of the resources that we have for

695
00:46:14,240 --> 00:46:17,440
any students that may
come to Indianapolis and

696
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,490
may have challenges with accessing food,
clothing.

697
00:46:20,490 --> 00:46:25,609
What do we do as an institution to
support our students in that regard?

698
00:46:25,609 --> 00:46:29,490
>> Yes,
one of the key resources that we have

699
00:46:29,490 --> 00:46:34,760
on campus is our office of
student advocacy and support.

700
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,880
And we call it IOS for short.

701
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:43,099
And so IOS is the place to
go from the standpoint of

702
00:46:43,099 --> 00:46:46,119
students who are in need of various
kinds of resources as you noted.

703
00:46:46,119 --> 00:46:49,849
I will let you know that we do have

704
00:46:49,849 --> 00:46:53,970
food pantry on campus which
is called Paws Pantry.

705
00:46:53,970 --> 00:47:00,240
And so it is available to
any student who is in need.

706
00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:04,730
And so, that will definitely
be available for students.

707
00:47:04,730 --> 00:47:10,610
We also have Paw's Closet, so,
if you're looking to interview, for

708
00:47:10,610 --> 00:47:16,150
an internship or something like that,
there is clothing available for you.

709
00:47:16,150 --> 00:47:19,770
We have other resources available for
you as well.

710
00:47:19,770 --> 00:47:24,650
And life doesn't stop
once you attend college.

711
00:47:24,650 --> 00:47:31,980
And so, we definitely serve as
really kind of an advocate, for you.

712
00:47:31,980 --> 00:47:36,950
If you're having challenges in regards to,
whether you get sick and

713
00:47:36,950 --> 00:47:41,010
you're missing class, or whether or
not there's a death in the family.

714
00:47:41,010 --> 00:47:45,400
It's just a wide range of issues that
you can come across as a student.

715
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,030
And so, we are here to support you.

716
00:47:48,030 --> 00:47:53,560
And so student advocacy and support is
a great place in regards to resources.

717
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,440
And not just resources on campus,

718
00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:03,230
they can also direct you to resources
within the Indianapolis area as well.

719
00:48:03,230 --> 00:48:07,480
>> Okay, so
let's throw a couple of names out there.

720
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,180
Chickfila, all right.

721
00:48:10,180 --> 00:48:12,270
Panda Express, okay?

722
00:48:12,270 --> 00:48:15,180
And all you can eat cafeteria, okay?

723
00:48:15,180 --> 00:48:18,170
With amazing food options.

724
00:48:18,170 --> 00:48:23,390
Einstein brothers,
lot of food options that are on campus,

725
00:48:23,390 --> 00:48:27,750
Dr. Bradshaw and or Dr Weldy.

726
00:48:27,750 --> 00:48:32,359
What's food going to look
like on campus this fall.

727
00:48:32,359 --> 00:48:37,120
>> I will start and Dr.
Weldy, I'll hand it off to you.

728
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:41,400
That is a common and a very popular
question that we're receiving right now

729
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,960
and we're working behind the scenes
actually, on some resolutions.

730
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:51,300
Our first step is to really align the meal
plan packages with the academic calendar.

731
00:48:51,300 --> 00:48:55,560
As well as for
those students living on campus,

732
00:48:55,560 --> 00:49:00,390
and we have dining available in the Tower,
but also in the Campus Center.

733
00:49:00,390 --> 00:49:05,420
And we're also going through protocol
right now with social distancing

734
00:49:05,420 --> 00:49:11,240
guidelines in order to make sure that we
meet those and that is a safe environment.

735
00:49:11,240 --> 00:49:14,880
Dr. Weldy, do you have anything additional?

736
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:19,599
>> Nothing really but only that
the Division of Student Affairs with

737
00:49:19,599 --> 00:49:24,980
Housing and Residence Life, we do work
in collaboration with dining services.

738
00:49:24,980 --> 00:49:30,190
And so, it's a great opportunity,

739
00:49:30,190 --> 00:49:35,360
I think for you in regards to dining
services because they provide.

740
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:39,910
They really go out of their way
to accommodate our students.

741
00:49:39,910 --> 00:49:44,610
If you have any food allergies or
things like that.

742
00:49:44,610 --> 00:49:50,710
Our chefs and staff there are definitely
willing to work with you.

743
00:49:50,710 --> 00:49:52,450
>> And just so
everyone is aware we will have dining.

744
00:49:52,450 --> 00:49:55,300
I mean, that is a question we get a lot.

745
00:49:55,300 --> 00:50:00,000
We will have dining available for
students, faculty and staff.

746
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,579
>> Right, that question came from Alicia.

747
00:50:01,579 --> 00:50:06,320
I'm gonna tell you what,
Alicia when we get all those answers,

748
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,890
you get a Chickfili,
a chicken sandwich on me, all right?

749
00:50:08,890 --> 00:50:10,830
So that's my commitment to you.

750
00:50:10,830 --> 00:50:15,849
All right, we're going to keep it
going with the on campus experience

751
00:50:15,849 --> 00:50:18,810
this one's from Maverick - great name.

752
00:50:18,810 --> 00:50:22,369
I have applied for work study employment,

753
00:50:22,369 --> 00:50:25,880
I wanted to know if those would still
be available to those who apply.

754
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:30,829
So work study employment,
who would like to take that?

755
00:50:30,829 --> 00:50:33,970
>> I can take a try, Errol.

756
00:50:33,970 --> 00:50:38,760
Student Employment is a key feature
of the IUPUI student experience and

757
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:43,579
we are particularly focused on
those students that qualify for

758
00:50:43,579 --> 00:50:46,380
federal work study funds.

759
00:50:46,380 --> 00:50:50,500
And we in fact we even have a job portal,
Jag Jobs where students can look for

760
00:50:50,500 --> 00:50:53,240
available jobs on campus.

761
00:50:53,240 --> 00:50:58,190
Since the change in our
mode of operation actually,

762
00:50:58,190 --> 00:51:01,630
one might think that students weren't
able to work anymore in remote settings.

763
00:51:01,630 --> 00:51:03,460
Actually quite the opposite is true.

764
00:51:03,460 --> 00:51:07,830
And that we had many students that were
able to work remotely in their on campus

765
00:51:07,830 --> 00:51:16,650
jobs and, many great supervisors has
ton of fabulous Employment Supervisors.

766
00:51:16,650 --> 00:51:21,140
That went out of their way to create
valuable student work experiences.

767
00:51:21,140 --> 00:51:24,460
So, there's a process through
which you look for a job but

768
00:51:24,460 --> 00:51:29,070
there will be student employment
opportunities available particularly,

769
00:51:29,070 --> 00:51:33,359
it related to the student that
Want Federal Work Study questions.

770
00:51:33,359 --> 00:51:39,550
>> Errol, if I can give a plug for
the Division of Student Affairs,

771
00:51:39,550 --> 00:51:44,890
we employ roughly about 250 or
so students.

772
00:51:44,890 --> 00:51:48,670
We would not be able to do what we do
in the Division of Student Affairs if

773
00:51:48,670 --> 00:51:51,660
it were not for our student employees.

774
00:51:51,660 --> 00:51:56,290
So the Division of Student Affairs
is made up of nine units.

775
00:51:56,290 --> 00:51:59,800
You are familiar with some of
them Housing and Residence Life,

776
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:05,880
also in regards to the Campus Center and
in some of the operations there.

777
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:11,070
And so, we are definitely excited
about our student employees and

778
00:52:11,070 --> 00:52:14,980
the work they do for us.

779
00:52:14,980 --> 00:52:19,500
>> Okay, and as we're talking about jobs,

780
00:52:19,500 --> 00:52:25,700
I'd be remiss if I did not mention
that one of the reasons so

781
00:52:25,700 --> 00:52:29,520
many students come to IUPUI
Is our location and

782
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:35,849
just the accessibility of internships,
co ops.

783
00:52:35,849 --> 00:52:40,490
The jobs that students lead to afterwards.

784
00:52:40,490 --> 00:52:45,540
I affectionately call IUPUI the home of
the semester and year long internships.

785
00:52:45,540 --> 00:52:50,520
So unlike other schools that are further
where you have to drive into the city,

786
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:51,990
it's right in our backyard.

787
00:52:51,990 --> 00:52:55,250
So, we have some great
offerings that are on campus.

788
00:52:55,250 --> 00:52:59,970
But we have some amazing connections
that are within the city.

789
00:52:59,970 --> 00:53:02,329
Kennedy, I have not forgotten about you.

790
00:53:02,329 --> 00:53:03,839
I see you are out there.

791
00:53:03,839 --> 00:53:06,160
We're going to go back to Summer Bridge.

792
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:13,900
So Dr. Gladden and Miss Bowman,
will scholarships cover bridge?

793
00:53:13,900 --> 00:53:16,540
And how will scholarship covered
textbooks and meal plans, so

794
00:53:16,540 --> 00:53:19,900
it could be a mix of you, as well
as Dr. Bradshaw.

795
00:53:19,900 --> 00:53:23,650
So take it away.

796
00:53:23,650 --> 00:53:28,800
>> Well, here's the good news bridge week
is free so you won't need a scholarship to

797
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,830
participate in that and I will then
turn it over to Dr. Bradshaw.

798
00:53:32,830 --> 00:53:37,490
>> Got to go ahead, I was going to say,
everyone gets a scholarship for

799
00:53:37,490 --> 00:53:40,050
bridge week.

800
00:53:40,050 --> 00:53:44,400
That is great that you have the
opportunity to attend that week without

801
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:45,640
having to pay for it.

802
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:51,930
So what a great experience and
in regards to, Errol.

803
00:53:51,930 --> 00:53:58,090
The other question was about the room and
board correct and also textbooks?

804
00:53:58,090 --> 00:53:59,590
>> Correct, that is correct, yes.

805
00:53:59,590 --> 00:54:02,060
>> I will have Marvin Smith
answer that question.

806
00:54:02,060 --> 00:54:06,580
But one thing I do want to say about
scholarships and financial aid,

807
00:54:06,580 --> 00:54:10,610
Marvin's office is available to
answer any specific questions.

808
00:54:10,610 --> 00:54:13,430
And, we do work individually one
on one with all students and

809
00:54:13,430 --> 00:54:17,470
we also understand financial
situations have changed.

810
00:54:17,470 --> 00:54:20,680
And we want to be able to
have that opportunity.

811
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:24,300
And so if you're in a situation you
need assistance, our doors are open.

812
00:54:24,300 --> 00:54:25,520
We want to have a conversation.

813
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,470
We want to learn about
your situation as well.

814
00:54:27,470 --> 00:54:30,520
Very, very important to us as
we transition to the fall.

815
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:35,260
With that said, Marvin,
you want to ask her the specifics?

816
00:54:35,260 --> 00:54:40,440
>> Sure, financial aid questions always
seems to be answered with it depends.

817
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:45,270
So I really want to echo what Dr.
Bradshaw said.

818
00:54:45,270 --> 00:54:51,760
Is that if you have any questions about
whether you have enough scholarship and

819
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:56,800
financial aid to pay for
your living expenses,

820
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,380
your residence hall expenses,
your books, supplies,

821
00:55:00,380 --> 00:55:06,160
your travel costs, we really talk
about at the student success session.

822
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:11,040
We want you to do the math and
try to figure out how much is gonna

823
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:15,400
cover tuition and
how much is gonna cover your other costs.

824
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:22,940
I encourage you to reach out to us,
email us finaid@iupui.edu.

825
00:55:22,940 --> 00:55:27,950
And we can provide some
individualized guidance on what it

826
00:55:27,950 --> 00:55:31,020
looks like you're going to qualify for.

827
00:55:31,020 --> 00:55:35,350
There are steps that you need to
take to finalize a student loan,

828
00:55:35,350 --> 00:55:41,720
if that might be something that you
need to help you pay for college costs.

829
00:55:41,720 --> 00:55:44,920
And then the other thing I want to echo
that Dr. Bradshaw said is we know that

830
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:51,790
folks have been impacted by
unemployment and coronavirus.

831
00:55:51,790 --> 00:55:53,740
And again, I encourage you to reach out.

832
00:55:53,740 --> 00:56:00,610
We can do a re-evaluation of
your financial aid eligibility.

833
00:56:00,610 --> 00:56:03,720
We have something called
special circumstance form.

834
00:56:03,720 --> 00:56:07,359
I encourage you to reach out and
talk to a financial aid counselor and

835
00:56:07,359 --> 00:56:10,390
put that contact information in the chat.

836
00:56:10,390 --> 00:56:14,380
And we can get an idea on
how that process works, and

837
00:56:14,380 --> 00:56:20,290
whether it's going to be beneficial
in your unique circumstances.

838
00:56:20,290 --> 00:56:22,599
>> Thank you, Marvin.

839
00:56:22,599 --> 00:56:28,570
Financial aid can sometimes be scary for
students and parents.

840
00:56:28,570 --> 00:56:32,680
But something that we talked about in
terms of the office of admissions is

841
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:35,400
there's money you have to pay back and
money you don't.

842
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:40,060
Money that you have to pay back
are going to be your loans, right?

843
00:56:40,060 --> 00:56:43,310
Money you don't have to pay back
are going to be things called grants and

844
00:56:43,310 --> 00:56:44,440
scholarships, right?

845
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:48,650
And so if you want to have a high level
conversation to just understand what that

846
00:56:48,650 --> 00:56:52,570
looks like, as Marvin said,
reach out to our office.

847
00:56:52,570 --> 00:56:59,380
We can walk you through that, and then
get you connected for those next steps.

848
00:56:59,380 --> 00:57:00,700
So thank you for that.

849
00:57:00,700 --> 00:57:05,770
And so let's go to, housing is a hot
topic, housing is a hot topic, Dr.

850
00:57:05,770 --> 00:57:06,770
Weldy is smiling.

851
00:57:06,770 --> 00:57:10,690
I see him smiling and we want to make
sure we get those questions answered.

852
00:57:10,690 --> 00:57:15,430
So let me throw a couple
that are out there.

853
00:57:15,430 --> 00:57:19,380
So one is can I find a roommate
even though I haven't yet

854
00:57:19,380 --> 00:57:22,410
received the housing contract?

855
00:57:22,410 --> 00:57:25,580
Dr. Weldy?

856
00:57:25,580 --> 00:57:31,700
>> The answer to that question is yes,
you can find a roommate.

857
00:57:31,700 --> 00:57:39,720
But if you want to make sure [LAUGH]
that you have a roommate and

858
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:44,390
you have a housing assignment,

859
00:57:44,390 --> 00:57:47,700
be sure to submit that contract.

860
00:57:47,700 --> 00:57:49,549
But the answer to the question is yes.

861
00:57:49,549 --> 00:57:53,260
>> Okay,
I'm going to ask another housing question.

862
00:57:53,260 --> 00:57:58,079
So there are still those that are out
there waiting for their housing contract.

863
00:57:58,079 --> 00:58:02,920
And your team has been doing a great job
of getting them out in a methodical way

864
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,900
and ensuring that students
are being communicated with.

865
00:58:05,900 --> 00:58:09,760
Can you say anything about the next
wave of outbound contracts for

866
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:12,290
those who are still out there waiting
to see where they're going to be living in

867
00:58:12,290 --> 00:58:13,720
the fall with us?

868
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:20,020
>> Yeah, sure, so housing contracts
offers go out every Thursday.

869
00:58:20,020 --> 00:58:23,990
And I understand that I haven't received
my latest update in regards to this week.

870
00:58:23,990 --> 00:58:28,560
And I can tell you that last week
we had about 100 or so go out,

871
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:32,000
and I expect more this week as well.

872
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:38,450
So every Thursday, the housing
offers go out and so they're coming.

873
00:58:38,450 --> 00:58:41,510
[LAUGH] They're coming.

874
00:58:41,510 --> 00:58:43,160
>> Okay, very good,

875
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:47,550
and a word about housing before
I move on to my next question.

876
00:58:47,550 --> 00:58:52,380
We know that this is one of the number
one questions that many of you all have.

877
00:58:52,380 --> 00:58:58,400
And because we understand the value
of the housing experience for you all

878
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:02,170
that are looking to come to college,
we want to make sure that we get it right.

879
00:59:02,170 --> 00:59:07,250
And so that our commitment to you is as we
go through from here and moving forward,

880
00:59:07,250 --> 00:59:09,740
we're going to partner with you and
as we get new decisions,

881
00:59:09,740 --> 00:59:11,569
we'll make sure that we let you know.

882
00:59:11,569 --> 00:59:14,650
And so thank you for
your patience with us.

883
00:59:14,650 --> 00:59:20,220
And just know that the amount of care were
taking isn't full attention in respect

884
00:59:20,220 --> 00:59:23,200
of the fact that you all are making
the decision to send your parents and

885
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:26,230
your loved ones to us.

886
00:59:26,230 --> 00:59:29,470
And we receive that and
we hold that in highest regard and

887
00:59:29,470 --> 00:59:34,190
students that you want to have
the best four years of your life and

888
00:59:34,190 --> 00:59:35,829
the housing experience as a part of that.

889
00:59:35,829 --> 00:59:39,140
So I wanna thank Dr. Weldy and
his team for what they're doing

890
00:59:39,140 --> 00:59:43,619
to get the answers and to make sure
that we are solidified in this regard.

891
00:59:43,619 --> 00:59:47,470
So let's go to Dr. Gladden.

892
00:59:47,470 --> 00:59:49,210
This one is from Madison.

893
00:59:49,210 --> 00:59:51,800
And before I start, we are at six but

894
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:56,770
we've got some really great questions
that are coming in and nobody is left.

895
00:59:56,770 --> 01:00:00,930
So we're gonna extend it for
about another 15 minutes and

896
01:00:00,930 --> 01:00:03,560
keep sending us the questions
if you have to go.

897
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:07,740
This will be recorded and we will send
this out in a follow up email with all of

898
01:00:07,740 --> 01:00:10,290
the links below, so feel free to leave.

899
01:00:10,290 --> 01:00:13,450
Madison asks, what about finals?

900
01:00:13,450 --> 01:00:16,010
Are those gonna be online?

901
01:00:16,010 --> 01:00:21,550
And how does that winter session work with
the overlap of fall and spring semester?

902
01:00:21,550 --> 01:00:25,010
So we're talking about now
the academic experience again.

903
01:00:25,010 --> 01:00:27,910
Dr. Gladden?

904
01:00:27,910 --> 01:00:32,369
>> Thank you, Errol, I appreciate
the opportunity to talk about this.

905
01:00:32,369 --> 01:00:37,640
And I'm sharing a graphic that
you should be able to see now.

906
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:41,540
This is a common question and
particularly it relates to the schedule.

907
01:00:41,540 --> 01:00:47,130
So to help make it the easiest
way to understand it is to

908
01:00:47,130 --> 01:00:50,380
think about our fall semester of 2020.

909
01:00:50,380 --> 01:00:54,819
And all of our classes as I
mentioned earlier will happen in

910
01:00:54,819 --> 01:01:00,160
a combination of face-to-face,
remote, and online experiences.

911
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:03,160
And that will happen from
August 24th to November 20th.

912
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:08,340
The full fall semester runs until December
20th and that will be a 16 weeks semester.

913
01:01:08,340 --> 01:01:12,460
A number of classes will
be 16 weeks in nature.

914
01:01:12,460 --> 01:01:15,920
That's the most common form for classes.

915
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:20,710
The last three weeks of that 16 weeks,
from November 30 to December 20,

916
01:01:20,710 --> 01:01:22,359
will be fully online.

917
01:01:22,359 --> 01:01:27,010
So if you would have a final in that
period, that final would be online.

918
01:01:27,010 --> 01:01:31,950
There are some courses that
are shifting to the 13 week period.

919
01:01:31,950 --> 01:01:35,329
And it's very possible that if you have
one of those courses is 13 weeks that

920
01:01:35,329 --> 01:01:38,650
the final could take place
right before Thanksgiving.

921
01:01:38,650 --> 01:01:42,069
And that final could be in a classroom or

922
01:01:42,069 --> 01:01:46,550
a testing center or
something along those lines on campus.

923
01:01:46,550 --> 01:01:49,480
The spring semester will
run from January 19th,

924
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:52,859
which was actually starting
a week late until May 9th.

925
01:01:52,859 --> 01:01:56,820
The first three weeks of that
semester will be online only.

926
01:01:56,820 --> 01:02:00,420
And again, the last three weeks of fall
in the first three weeks of spring being

927
01:02:00,420 --> 01:02:04,800
online are to help protect
the safety of the IUPUI community.

928
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:09,430
First and foremost,
we're concerned about safety.

929
01:02:09,430 --> 01:02:13,869
But after those first three weeks in
the spring semester, we'll move to

930
01:02:13,869 --> 01:02:20,050
the same mix, in person and online
experiences from February 8th to May 9th.

931
01:02:20,050 --> 01:02:23,480
In addition,
this year we're offering something new,

932
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:30,050
the opportunity to take some additional
online courses in that winter period.

933
01:02:30,050 --> 01:02:33,650
First of all, let me say, the winter
session as you've heard about or

934
01:02:33,650 --> 01:02:37,240
read about is not mandatory in any way,
shape or form.

935
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:43,950
Instead, it may be an opportunity to get
ahead, and get ahead at no extra cost.

936
01:02:43,950 --> 01:02:47,589
So as a part of the fall semester,
there will be a three week online

937
01:02:47,589 --> 01:02:53,500
session that'll run from
November 30th to December 20th.

938
01:02:53,500 --> 01:02:57,200
And that will be a part
of the fall semester.

939
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:02,550
And can be already, if you've only got 15
credit hours, if you took 3 credit hours

940
01:03:02,550 --> 01:03:05,500
then, that would actually not cost you
any additional money because of banded

941
01:03:05,500 --> 01:03:10,630
tuition which covers the same price for
12 to 18 credit hours.

942
01:03:10,630 --> 01:03:15,540
In the spring semesters, there's two
options, one is another three week format,

943
01:03:15,540 --> 01:03:18,500
which runs from January
19th to February 7th.

944
01:03:18,500 --> 01:03:22,910
And then there's a six week format,
which starts on December 21st and

945
01:03:22,910 --> 01:03:24,500
runs through February 7th.

946
01:03:24,500 --> 01:03:27,890
Both of those are part
of the spring semester.

947
01:03:27,890 --> 01:03:32,480
So the next logical question is, how will
I know about these course offerings?

948
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:37,300
Well, for the spring semester, but
the three week session in January and

949
01:03:37,300 --> 01:03:41,619
the six week session that would
run December through January,

950
01:03:41,619 --> 01:03:44,410
those course offerings
will become available and

951
01:03:44,410 --> 01:03:49,700
be widely promoted prior to
the registration for the spring semester.

952
01:03:49,700 --> 01:03:53,300
For the three weeks session in the fall,
that will become,

953
01:03:53,300 --> 01:03:58,339
those courses will be communicated
about once you're on campus.

954
01:03:58,339 --> 01:04:01,770
>> Very good.

955
01:04:01,770 --> 01:04:07,550
So after Thanksgiving,
I'm an IUPUI student.

956
01:04:07,550 --> 01:04:11,520
I'm gonna be able to do everything online,
whether it's in my residence hall or

957
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:14,980
it's back home with my family,
I'm gonna be virtual.

958
01:04:14,980 --> 01:04:19,090
And then those additional sessions,
it's a chance for

959
01:04:19,090 --> 01:04:22,520
me to really get ahead of the game.

960
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:26,820
So I'm going to go to Dr. Weldy as we
talked about this class structure.

961
01:04:26,820 --> 01:04:31,730
And keep in mind, the decision is
a tough one by Dr. Paydar, Dr.

962
01:04:31,730 --> 01:04:34,050
Johnson who are the leaders of our campus.

963
01:04:34,050 --> 01:04:38,010
But we know that flu season,
okay, is an area,

964
01:04:38,010 --> 01:04:40,680
is a time as we look across
the United States within higher

965
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:44,099
education that we need to be
prepared to keep you all safe.

966
01:04:44,099 --> 01:04:49,849
And so making this challenging
decision is one that puts

967
01:04:49,849 --> 01:04:52,319
your safety at the forefront.

968
01:04:52,319 --> 01:04:57,059
But we're up for the challenge to make
sure that you all have a dynamic, virtual,

969
01:04:57,059 --> 01:04:58,890
and online experience.

970
01:04:58,890 --> 01:05:02,250
So, Dr. Weldy, the winter session happens.

971
01:05:02,250 --> 01:05:09,010
It's going over through the month of
December into January over Christmas.

972
01:05:09,010 --> 01:05:11,270
Will students have to leave
the residence halls if they're living in

973
01:05:11,270 --> 01:05:13,340
the residence halls?

974
01:05:13,340 --> 01:05:14,960
>> Errol,

975
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:21,240
what we're asking is that students who
will be living in the residence halls,

976
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:25,920
come Thanksgiving break,
we are asking students to return home.

977
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:30,170
Now, we do understand that

978
01:05:30,170 --> 01:05:34,020
certain students do have
extenuating circumstances.

979
01:05:34,020 --> 01:05:38,260
For example, if you're
an international student or maybe

980
01:05:38,260 --> 01:05:45,859
if you're a domestic student and
there are other situations that

981
01:05:45,859 --> 01:05:52,600
would keep you from being
able to return home.

982
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:57,079
What we're looking at is
setting up a process where

983
01:05:57,079 --> 01:06:04,809
a student can basically petition to
stay in the halls during that time.

984
01:06:04,809 --> 01:06:09,210
But I mind you,
I mean what I said before in regards to,

985
01:06:09,210 --> 01:06:12,660
it must be extenuating circumstances.

986
01:06:12,660 --> 01:06:17,310
So there is no guarantee that
if you petition to stay,

987
01:06:17,310 --> 01:06:22,420
that you will be granted approval to stay.

988
01:06:22,420 --> 01:06:27,720
But we are expecting all students
who are able to return home over

989
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:31,540
break that you do return
home over that break.

990
01:06:31,540 --> 01:06:35,030
Right, so we're not going to put anybody out.

991
01:06:35,030 --> 01:06:36,349
Let's be very clear about that.

992
01:06:36,349 --> 01:06:38,030
We're going to work with you,

993
01:06:38,030 --> 01:06:43,200
your families, during that time
period if for whatever reason.

994
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:47,650
You going home is something
that is a challenge to you.

995
01:06:47,650 --> 01:06:52,559
But again, as Dr. Weldy mentioned,
it's the height of flu season and

996
01:06:52,559 --> 01:06:57,740
we want to make sure that we're preparing
in advance to keep the campus safe and

997
01:06:57,740 --> 01:07:00,200
keep you safe, first and foremost.

998
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:06,040
So for those who are going to be on campus,
there's a question about masks.

999
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:09,119
Is everybody going to be
required to wear masks?

1000
01:07:09,119 --> 01:07:11,900
And then this is all from Macy, so,

1001
01:07:11,900 --> 01:07:15,910
is there a student health center on
campus, and is there a cost to use it?

1002
01:07:15,910 --> 01:07:20,119
Or is that included in
a student's tuition and fees,

1003
01:07:20,119 --> 01:07:23,190
and what are those those days and
hours that it's gonna be open?

1004
01:07:23,190 --> 01:07:25,710
So it's a kinda a two-part question.

1005
01:07:25,710 --> 01:07:28,690
What's the on campus experience gonna
look like as it relates to mass,

1006
01:07:28,690 --> 01:07:32,750
and where do I go if I want to get checked
up and make sure that my health is okay?

1007
01:07:32,750 --> 01:07:37,400
I'll leave it open for
anyone to take the same this question.

1008
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:44,109
>> Well, I'll take the part in
regards to campus health center.

1009
01:07:44,109 --> 01:07:48,420
So we have two locations on campus.

1010
01:07:48,420 --> 01:07:51,720
One location is in the campus center,

1011
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:55,309
which is really our
student union on campus.

1012
01:07:55,309 --> 01:08:00,869
And so
we have a student health center there.

1013
01:08:00,869 --> 01:08:04,930
Our main health center for

1014
01:08:04,930 --> 01:08:10,830
students is also over in Coleman Hall,
on the first floor of Coleman Hall.

1015
01:08:10,830 --> 01:08:14,089
And so open Monday through Fridays.

1016
01:08:14,089 --> 01:08:18,150
Now because of COVID-19, there will be,

1017
01:08:18,150 --> 01:08:23,440
obviously some social distancing and
other things that will initiate

1018
01:08:23,440 --> 01:08:27,900
in order to keep everyone safe,
all of our students safe.

1019
01:08:27,900 --> 01:08:33,690
But we do have campus health
center on campus where you can be

1020
01:08:33,690 --> 01:08:36,310
seen by health professionals.

1021
01:08:36,310 --> 01:08:40,330
>> Okay, all right.

1022
01:08:40,330 --> 01:08:42,400
So the next question is,

1023
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:46,100
in regards to loans, and
it's a broad question.

1024
01:08:46,100 --> 01:08:52,150
I think it's a great question because
a lot of people don't know how loans work.

1025
01:08:52,150 --> 01:08:59,609
We have to pay it back, but what is a loan
first and foremost, and how do they work?

1026
01:08:59,609 --> 01:09:04,270
And what's the difference between a loan
extended through university versus,

1027
01:09:04,270 --> 01:09:06,060
say, a private loan?

1028
01:09:06,060 --> 01:09:14,120
>> I would ask you, Errol, just get
back to the question about the mask.

1029
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:15,259
I think that's important.

1030
01:09:15,259 --> 01:09:16,259
>> Sure.

1031
01:09:16,259 --> 01:09:17,259
Absolutely, absolutely.

1032
01:09:17,259 --> 01:09:18,700
>> And I will go on to Marvin for
this next question.

1033
01:09:18,700 --> 01:09:21,430
I think that's a really
important question.

1034
01:09:21,430 --> 01:09:25,660
And IU has established guidelines and

1035
01:09:25,660 --> 01:09:31,150
a mask will be required on campus,
in the classroom, and in common areas

1036
01:09:31,150 --> 01:09:36,580
where there are other people, including
visitors to campus, all faculty and staff.

1037
01:09:36,580 --> 01:09:42,290
The university will be providing two masks
per student, and they will be cloth mask

1038
01:09:42,290 --> 01:09:48,250
which you can put them in a laundry, and
there will be guidelines around that.

1039
01:09:48,250 --> 01:09:52,420
Obviously, if you're in private spaces and
not around other individuals,

1040
01:09:52,420 --> 01:09:55,360
you won't be required to wear that mask,

1041
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:59,980
but that is a safety precaution
that we are implementing right now.

1042
01:09:59,980 --> 01:10:02,650
I mean it started here June 1st.

1043
01:10:02,650 --> 01:10:05,770
Some of the campus has started
to open up a little bit.

1044
01:10:05,770 --> 01:10:08,199
Also Chancellor Paydar
mentioned in the beginning

1045
01:10:08,199 --> 01:10:13,060
about IU health relationship
with IUPUI and

1046
01:10:13,060 --> 01:10:17,910
the availability of that testing is
really important, that's free of charge.

1047
01:10:17,910 --> 01:10:21,690
It's a benefit that we're providing to
anyone, faculty, staff, and students.

1048
01:10:21,690 --> 01:10:25,260
And so if someone believes they
are sick and would want to be tested,

1049
01:10:25,260 --> 01:10:29,630
it's really there's a easy
way to do that as a student.

1050
01:10:29,630 --> 01:10:31,410
But also as faculty and staff members.

1051
01:10:31,410 --> 01:10:34,940
>> Okay, thank you Dr. Bradshaw.

1052
01:10:34,940 --> 01:10:40,530
Now we'll go back to the loan question and
we'll bring our executive director for

1053
01:10:40,530 --> 01:10:43,090
Student Financial Services Marvin Smith.

1054
01:10:43,090 --> 01:10:47,110
>> Yeah, student loan process
is tricky especially if you

1055
01:10:47,110 --> 01:10:50,050
haven't ever gone through
this process before.

1056
01:10:50,050 --> 01:10:54,340
So one of the requirements of
receiving federal student loans

1057
01:10:54,340 --> 01:10:57,820
is to file the FAFSA,
that's the first step.

1058
01:10:57,820 --> 01:11:04,640
So folks that file the FAFSA, they likely
are eligible for a federal student loan.

1059
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:09,980
That loan might be subsidized or
the interest is paid by the government.

1060
01:11:09,980 --> 01:11:13,750
It might be unsubsidized where
the interest is accruing.

1061
01:11:13,750 --> 01:11:18,860
The step that you have to go through is
to decide how much you want to borrow and

1062
01:11:18,860 --> 01:11:25,370
then accept that in self service and
then sign a master promissory note.

1063
01:11:25,370 --> 01:11:31,870
So some of those details we can walk you
through, you can ask us individually.

1064
01:11:31,870 --> 01:11:38,410
We talk about it in depth that
the students success sessions and,

1065
01:11:38,410 --> 01:11:44,440
one of the things we say is only borrow
what you need, and your goal should

1066
01:11:44,440 --> 01:11:52,040
be to graduate from IUPUI as quickly as
possible with as little debt as possible.

1067
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:55,850
And I think that the financial
aid counselors can help

1068
01:11:55,850 --> 01:12:03,460
devise a plan to make sure you're only
borrowing absolutely what you need.

1069
01:12:03,460 --> 01:12:08,480
>> Thank you Marvin and my advice to you

1070
01:12:08,480 --> 01:12:12,250
to anyone that wants to consider loans,
talk to somebody here.

1071
01:12:12,250 --> 01:12:16,440
We'll break it down for you,
we'll make sure that you understand it,

1072
01:12:16,440 --> 01:12:18,679
we won't make the decision for you, okay?

1073
01:12:18,679 --> 01:12:22,710
Because that is going to be a call that
you and your family need to make, but

1074
01:12:22,710 --> 01:12:25,210
we'll make sure that you have
a full understanding of what it is.

1075
01:12:25,210 --> 01:12:27,670
We're going to do one more question.

1076
01:12:27,670 --> 01:12:29,830
This has been great.

1077
01:12:29,830 --> 01:12:33,500
You all have asked some
really thoughtful questions.

1078
01:12:33,500 --> 01:12:37,550
We're gonna bring it back
to the classroom experience

1079
01:12:37,550 --> 01:12:41,190
that we're bringing to all
of our incoming students.

1080
01:12:41,190 --> 01:12:45,950
So, Dr. Gladden,
this one has to do with online classes.

1081
01:12:45,950 --> 01:12:49,670
What is the typical response time for
teachers for

1082
01:12:49,670 --> 01:12:52,340
student questions on assignments?

1083
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:56,540
And how would a student get help if
they needed it during the online period,

1084
01:12:56,540 --> 01:12:58,320
and that's from Jade.

1085
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:03,920
>> Actually, the online environment is
one where students tend to have more

1086
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:09,210
frequent interactions with faculty
members because of things like threaded

1087
01:13:09,210 --> 01:13:14,510
discussions and a number of different
assignments that might occur.

1088
01:13:14,510 --> 01:13:18,730
And people are doing work at all hours
of the day and so the faculty members

1089
01:13:18,730 --> 01:13:23,190
engaging with that course on a more on a,
it's not like a scheduled class time

1090
01:13:23,190 --> 01:13:26,620
when they go deliver a lecture and
then they go do other work.

1091
01:13:26,620 --> 01:13:31,400
The online class is something and
having taught online, I can speak to this.

1092
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:35,420
It's something that you're always paying
attention to, so I would expect that

1093
01:13:35,420 --> 01:13:41,380
response time is within 24 hours for
sure, and often much sooner than that.

1094
01:13:41,380 --> 01:13:44,510
Personally as a faculty member, I like to

1095
01:13:44,510 --> 01:13:48,739
let the students that are in my class know
that if they send me an email that night,

1096
01:13:48,739 --> 01:13:52,020
they get a response the next morning for
sure.

1097
01:13:52,020 --> 01:13:55,660
>> Many of you have you all gone through
e-learning as a result of this COVID-19

1098
01:13:55,660 --> 01:13:56,800
period with your high schools.

1099
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:59,890
I'd imagine some had
been positive experience,

1100
01:13:59,890 --> 01:14:02,650
some had been unfavorable experiences.

1101
01:14:02,650 --> 01:14:06,830
We're doing everything we can to make
sure it's as positive as it can be.

1102
01:14:06,830 --> 01:14:11,170
And so we're gonna keep shaping it and
giving

1103
01:14:11,170 --> 01:14:14,350
you information about what that classroom
experience is going to look like.

1104
01:14:14,350 --> 01:14:18,460
So we're going to pull up a slide and
we're gonna make some final comments for

1105
01:14:18,460 --> 01:14:24,100
you all to see on the screen,
wait a moment.

1106
01:14:24,100 --> 01:14:29,060
So this is a picture of a group
of individuals that many of you

1107
01:14:29,060 --> 01:14:34,440
all may already know that have been there
with you from the very beginning back in

1108
01:14:34,440 --> 01:14:39,560
the Fall of 2019 walking you through
every step in the admissions process.

1109
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:43,929
This is the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions counseling team.

1110
01:14:43,929 --> 01:14:48,600
And so everybody that may not have gotten
their answers, their questions answered

1111
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:52,660
will have the chance to and we're going
to put the link down in the bottom.

1112
01:14:52,660 --> 01:14:57,110
Submit a request for an individualized
appointment to speak with one

1113
01:14:57,110 --> 01:14:59,790
of these accomplished individuals.

1114
01:14:59,790 --> 01:15:04,390
Now keep in mind that you're at
a stage in terms of your transition

1115
01:15:04,390 --> 01:15:07,090
to where the admissions
counselors we're the generalists,

1116
01:15:07,090 --> 01:15:11,390
we'll help you understand IUPUI,
point you to resources.

1117
01:15:11,390 --> 01:15:14,000
There's plenty of experts
that are on this call.

1118
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,650
But the academic advisor in your
school once go through your

1119
01:15:16,650 --> 01:15:20,060
student success session and
engage orientation experience,

1120
01:15:20,060 --> 01:15:23,210
that's going to be a huge resource for
you as well.

1121
01:15:23,210 --> 01:15:28,880
Furthermore, there's many academic
unit partners in terms of admissions,

1122
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:31,550
staff members and
faculty that you can work with as well.

1123
01:15:31,550 --> 01:15:36,540
But if at any time,
you need to ask a question or you

1124
01:15:36,540 --> 01:15:40,179
get lost in the process or you're feeling
discouraged, don't check out on this.

1125
01:15:40,179 --> 01:15:42,800
Pick up the phone and call, okay.

1126
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:47,250
And so stay up to date in terms of new
answers, you're going to go to this link

1127
01:15:47,250 --> 01:15:52,590
this website that you see on
the screen for new updates.

1128
01:15:52,590 --> 01:15:54,420
We're also going to proactively send this
to

1129
01:15:54,420 --> 01:15:57,080
your email, so parents make sure you're

1130
01:15:57,080 --> 01:16:00,350
ensuring that your students
are checking their email regularly.

1131
01:16:00,350 --> 01:16:05,350
And if you're not on the Class of
2024 Facebook group yet, please join,

1132
01:16:05,350 --> 01:16:08,469
it's in the bottom here and
we've added the link.

1133
01:16:08,469 --> 01:16:10,219
There's a lot of action and engagement.

1134
01:16:10,219 --> 01:16:15,380
When we see questions, we've got all
of these partners that you saw on

1135
01:16:15,380 --> 01:16:18,590
the panel and their team members
that are in there answering them.

1136
01:16:18,590 --> 01:16:19,590
But for the most part,

1137
01:16:19,590 --> 01:16:23,540
we want that to be a student experience
where you all are sharing information and

1138
01:16:23,540 --> 01:16:27,110
talking about ways to connect
in anticipation for the fall.

1139
01:16:27,110 --> 01:16:30,400
And of course as I mentioned before,
it's connect with one of the admissions

1140
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:34,410
counselors but make sure you're also
connecting with your academic advisor so

1141
01:16:34,410 --> 01:16:39,020
that you have a direct
access to your school.

1142
01:16:39,020 --> 01:16:44,230
So with that being said, this is the end
of our new Jags question and answer.

1143
01:16:44,230 --> 01:16:48,260
There will be a follow up email that
will include a consolidation of all of

1144
01:16:48,260 --> 01:16:51,110
the links that we put in
the bottom of the chat.

1145
01:16:51,110 --> 01:16:54,530
So if you didn't get some of those links,
now that is coming to you.

1146
01:16:54,530 --> 01:16:58,580
And we're also going to get you
the information on how to register for

1147
01:16:58,580 --> 01:17:03,940
an individualized one on one
visit with our admissions team.

1148
01:17:03,940 --> 01:17:08,360
Remember, our admissions team is there to
give you the high level understanding, so

1149
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:12,600
there's no such thing as a stupid question
or a question that shouldn't be asked.

1150
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:16,260
And from there, we'll plug you into the
IUPUI resource that will get you the more

1151
01:17:16,260 --> 01:17:17,960
specific answer.

1152
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:22,600
We're so excited to have all of you here
for the fall and we're thankful that you

1153
01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:26,710
all have stayed with us as we've
gone through this journey together.

1154
01:17:26,710 --> 01:17:30,170
It certainly has not been easy on us and

1155
01:17:30,170 --> 01:17:35,590
we imagine that it hasn't been easy on
you all, both students and parents but

1156
01:17:35,590 --> 01:17:38,880
we're going to do everything that we
can and continue to work tirelessly

1157
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:43,480
to make sure that, when you walk
through the doors of IUPUI in the fall.

1158
01:17:43,480 --> 01:17:47,320
You're feeling incredibly special and
thankful that you chose this destination

1159
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:50,480
to be the place that you're going to call
home for the next four years of your life.

1160
01:17:50,480 --> 01:17:51,870
Thank you all so much.

1161
01:17:51,870 --> 01:17:53,780
We look forward to seeing
you at orientation.

1162
01:17:53,780 --> 01:17:56,160
I look forward to seeing you
at summer bridge week and

1163
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:57,810
definitely look forward to talking to you.
