The MIS department has instituted a professional achievement point requirement for MIS majors. We have found that our most successful students are not only engaged inside the classroom but also with the department and our Student Professional Organization, AIS. Students will be required to create a portfolio which documents their achievements in the classroom, with the department, and within AIS. For each addition to their portfolio, a student will earn some number of \u201cprofessional achievement points\u201d. Students will be required to accumulate 1,000 professional achievement points to meet this graduation requirement.<\/p>\n

MIS2402 will serve as a checkpoint to ensure that students are focused on this requirement and on track to earn their 1,000 points by graduation. All MIS majors are required to to earn a minimum of 200 professional achievement points by the end of the semester.\u00a0 Students who have earned a \u201cC\u201d or better but do not earn the minimum number of professional achievement points by the end of the semester will receive an \u201cIncomplete\u201d for this course regardless of performance on exams or class participation!<\/u>\u00a0<\/strong>If a student earn earns the minimum number of professional achievement points within one year from the end of the semester and notifies their instructor, the instructor will update their grade from \u201cIncomplete\u201d to a traditional grade.\u00a0\u00a0If a student fails to\u00a0 earn the minimum number of professional achievement points within one year from the end of the semester or does not notify their instructor that they have earned the minimum number of professional achievement points then their \u201cIncomplete\u201d will be changed to an \u201cF\u201d automatically by the system and will be the student\u2019s permanent grade.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You are STRONGLY<\/strong> encouraged to, at a minimum, do the following to earn points:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create an e-Portfolio and have it listed with the department.<\/li>\n
  2. Become an active member of AIS and participate in professional development activities.<\/li>\n
  3. Attend the IT Awards Reception (spring semester only).<\/li>\n
  4. Participate in the Data Analytics Challenge (fall semester only) and the MIS Department\u2019s Career Fair.<\/li>\n
  5. Volunteer your time for department-sponsored events.<\/li>\n
  6. Discuss opportunities to earn MIS PRO points for projects with your MIS instructors. Note that students may not request course\/project related PRO points more than one year after the end of the semester.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
