Official Day Rolls

First Day Rolls are class lists of students per section used to verify students are in the correct class. At some of the colleges the admissions office or academic offices print these for you the weekend prior to the first day of class but with hundreds of add/drops occurring the first week of classes, these rolls are an extremely inefficient source of up to date and correct information.

Even if the admissions office runs this for you, please print off the roster from My Records as close to the start of your classes as possible. If a student is in your class and not on your rolls send the student to admissions immediately. The only exception would be if a student has a registration form or schedule showing they are registered for your class since you printed your roll. The quicker students talk to admissions the quicker records can be corrected with less disruption to class time, records, the business office and the students.

Occasionally, a student is not aware they were dropped for non-payment or are sitting in the wrong class. For a student to be counted for state funding, they must have paid or established a payment plan prior to official day. One student saved per section (approximately 7,000 sections per fall or spring) can save close to 1 million dollars per term. Waiting to address this issue on the official day rolls is too late.

7000 sections X 45 contact hours X $3 = $945,000

Your time and attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. I will be glad to answer any questions.
