comprehensive Writing and Tutoring Center to increase student success. Expand the development and delivery of quality online instructional programs. Plan and implement a student<br />
information system.<br />
(4) Funding Source Prior to Receiving Special Item Funding:<br />
None<br />
(5) Non-general Revenue Sources of Funding:<br />
None<br />
(6) Consequences of Not Funding:<br />
Not funding this exceptional item would negatively impact the university’s efforts to provide services to students to ensure their success in the educational programs offered by the<br />
university. The university would not be able to hire faculty needed to meet students’ demand for increased degrees and programs offered by the university which would limit the ability<br />
to attract and retain students. Development and delivery of online degrees and programs would be hampered by not allowing the university an opportunity to serve its mobile student<br />
population better and attract the students that need online programs and degrees to complete their education. The university needs its own student information system not only to<br />
separate student records from the Tarleton State <strong>University</strong> student information system, but to have complete control over student records, course scheduling, transcripts, and other<br />
student related records.<br />
