okay all right I’m really excited
00:03
to show this to you we kind of talked to
00:05
we met about the content and I’ve got
00:07
the infographic ready so let’s take a
00:09
look all right
00:10
you see that it kind of starts off
00:11
presenting it as a journey which I know
00:13
I mean that’s perfect that’s exactly how
00:15
it should be and then we start with the
00:17
admissions and enrollment process and
00:21
then it goes through every single step
00:24
of the process and then we’ve got the
00:28
program it’s 30 weeks okay and I think
00:37
that we’ll need to make some changes
00:40
remember how we have changed our
00:42
progression policies so these not
00:46
numbers here are regards of dates and
00:49
hours I think we’ll just have to update
00:52
them I think maybe instead so that we
00:54
don’t run into this problem in the
00:56
future I’ll just take them off well it
01:00
would it would be useful for for our
01:02
students to have the time in I mean it
01:06
is great to have you know that’s not
01:08
really the way that the design process
01:09
works if I get it onto the website
01:11
there’s constant updates I’ve heard I
01:13
mean I think I overheard we wanted a
01:15
printed version of this it’s gonna be
01:16
out there it’s gonna be wrong I I just
01:19
don’t think that’s the best idea
01:21
no I do think that we need to have the
01:25
time in somewhere do you think that we
01:29
can add it somewhere else
01:31
down in the document?
No!
