First, how students schedule theirappointments with Program Advisors will changesoon. Additionally, we will add a new advisor inthe School of Business.Currently, students and prospective studentsschedule their appointments via an online servicecalled YouCanBook.me.com. Along with the entireSLCC system, we are moving to MySuccess whichyou can access via your MySLCC. The Schoolof Business was selected to pilot the roll out sothere still are some bugs to work out. For now,you can still schedule your appointments eithervia YouCanBook.me as before, or you can nowschedule via MySuccess. Since it is possible tomake appointments on both, confusion has createdsituations of double booking but we hope to workthrough those problems. We hope you will bepatient with us as it develops.A new advisor will begin working with brand newstudents in both Business and CSIS majors. Thosestudents will work only with the new advisorthroughout their time at SLCC from beginning toend. We’re unsure of the start date for this newposition, another new pilot program starting at theSchool of Business but a decision is expected soon.Other news:Collegiate DECAInternational CareerDevelopment ConferenceApril 19th-22ndLast Day of ClassesApril 26thJam Session & Reading DayApril 27Final ExamsApril 28thCommencement& Grading DayExamsMay 4thStudents who, because of delays in Financial Aid,postpone purchasing textbooks and consequentlybegin their semesters behind in homework shouldbe aware of and consider the STIL Program.

Underthe agreement, SLCC’s graduates in the Associate of Science in Business or Associate of Applied Sciencein Finance and Credit who declare the Family, Community and Human Development Major and theFinancial Planning certificate will receive significant credit toward their bachelor’s degree.Specifically, the SLCC transfer students will receive credit for 3 hours of major elective credits and 12hours of allied credits. In addition, by completing FIN 1050 and FIN 2200 at SLCC with grades of C- orhigher will receive credit for FCS 3500 at the University of Utah.The ultimate goal of the agreement is to create a smooth pathway for students who wish to make acareer as a Certified Financial Planner (CFP). Becoming a CFP requires 5 elements: 1) a bachelor’sdegree in anything; 2) completion of six specific courses in financial planning; 3) passing an industrycertification examination similar to the CPA or BAR exam; 4) three years of industry experience; and5) passing a background check.The important thing to know is that the U of U’s degree program includes the six courses required tosit for the exam. Graduates of most schools still need to take these courses after graduating, but at theU, they are part of the Bachelor’s curriculum. After passing the examination and amassing 3 yearsof industry experience (which can at least partially be done while in school), graduates can becomecertified as a CFP.In Utah, anyone can call himself or herself a financial planner. The CFP credential sets one apart fromthe typical financial planner. Because of their advanced training, CFP’s have a decided edge in the jobmarket, and command higher salaries than typical financial planners without their level of training.According to Glassdoor financial advisor jobs have salaries beginning as low as 30,000 per year, yetaccording to the University of Utah, those with a CFP credential earn an average of 104,000 annually.This agreement provides a clear, guided pathway all the way from beginning college to a high-payingcareer in a high-demand industry. It is not an easy path, but it gets one from beginning to completionin 4 years, with a very lucrative career opportunity at the end.6MarApr.indd 63/20/2018 10:50:00 AM

School of Business Offers Classes through SLCC’sPrison Education ProgramBeginning Summer of 2018, BUS 1010 Introduction to Business will be offered to women at theUtah State Prison in Draper. Introduction to Business will be offered to men in Fall 2018. Plans areunderway to also offer BUS 1040 Business Ethics and BUS 1050 Foundations of Business.The Prison Education Program, under the direction Kurt Guner, Program Manager, began thisyear. There has been a steep learning curve and a massive amount of effort from school and prisonadministrators, only to find that the enthusiasm and energy of the students has exceeded their wildestexpectations. After spending the fall semester recruiting faculty, testing students, and preparingclasses, six classes were launched in the Utah State Prison in Draper (for Men: Math 980, English 1010,and Communications 1010; for Women: Math 980, English 1010, and Sociology 1010) and one in theCentral Utah Correctional Facility in Gunnison (History 1510). Across the board, the faculty teachingthese classes have reported that students are engaged and passionate, going above and beyond theirassignments to grapple with the material and connect it to their lives.When this program was conceived, it was assumed there would be challenges and setbacks. Thisprogram requires SLCC to account for a new type of student with different needs, both in the classroomand in the financial aid office. Currently, the tuition and student fees are covered by grant funds.The Registrar, Admissions Office, and Testing Center worked to find solutions and get the studentsenrolled. The faculty members adjusted for life on “the inside” by redesigning their classes to workwithout any internet access for students (no Canvas, no outside research, no YouTube videos, etc.). Theresult has been a smashing success so far. The School of Business will be adding additional courseoptions to the list of courses offered at the prison. The Prison Education Program hopes to expand andadd more staff in the future to accommodate the growing student body.UWHEN Annual Leadership ConferenceSalt Lake Community College is hosting the statewide Utah Women in Higher Education LeadershipConference on Friday, April, 6th, at the SouthCity Campus.
