Updates for Faculty - Spring 2024

Updates

Faculty Roster Competition 

A huge thank you from the Records Office to the faculty for getting their rosters submitted on time! We had only one roster missing on Wednesday morning. This allowed the Records Office to confer degrees and begin sending out transcripts before the holiday break began. This is a huge service to students!  

Electronic Diplomas 

This fall was the pilot for students receiving a digital diploma. This digital diploma is authenticated by Parchment’s credentialling system which allows the student to post their achievement on social media or send to potential employers allowing students to showcase their hard work that much sooner! 
 

Course Drops with Co-Reqs 

Students who are dropped from a course that is a co-requisite for another course will be dropped from both courses. Students who wish to remain in the course that they no longer meet the co-requisite for should speak to the Dean of that area. For example, if a student is dropped from ENGL 101, they will be dropped from PHIL 101 as that course requires concurrent enrollment in ENGL 101.  

Course Drops due to Financial Balance 

Students who are dropped for non-payment must work with the Dean and the Assistant Controller to determine if re-enrollment is appropriate.  

Response to Public ACT 103-0054 

The Illinois General Assembly has expanded the Student Debt Assistance Act which prohibits the a transcript from being withheld due to a balance. As a result, Heartland will no longer without a transcript or diploma due to a balance owed to the College.
