This page is used to create and maintain committee/service information by type or by type and ID. Therefore, a committee or service may be stand alone or affiliated with a person. It is also used to create and maintain committee/service membership activity and committee/service comments.
Examples of committee types may be a paper review committee, an academic appeals committee, or a curriculum review committee. When paired with an ID, the same type may be used multiple times. ID, however, is not required.
The user may select the Committee/Service Inquiry option from the Options Menu or perform a Count Query Hits from the Key block to access the Committee/Service Inquiry (SHICOMQ) page and bring back information on existing committees to populate the key data. This is done by performing a Select function from the specific record on SHICOMQ.
A committee may have unlimited members, and any valid person may be associated with a committee. Membership is not limited to students or faculty members. Committee information, such as date initiated or dissolved, home administrative college or department, and committee status and committee member information, such as participation dates, role (i.e., chairman), status (i.e., active), college, and department are maintained on the page.
Use the General Student Summary option in the Options Menu to access the General Student Summary (SGASTDQ) page for college and department information. To access SGASTDQ, ID must be part of the committee key.
The user may perform a Help function from Member field in Committee/Service Members information to access the Available Faculty By Term Query (SOAFAVQ) page to view available faculty members, perform a Count Query Hits function from the same field to access the Faculty /Advisor Query (SIAIQRY) page, or perform a List function from the same field to access the Person Search (SOAIDEN) page. The ID may be brought back from SOAIDEN, SIAIQRY, or SOAFAVQ.
This page also allows committees to be associated with non-courses. This association may be a one-to-one or a one-to-many relationship. A committee may be associated with a paper or event. Select the Non-Course Information option from the Options Menu to display the Academic Non-Course (SHANCRS) page, where a committee may be made a non-course or part of a non-course, which may also be associated with a degree.
