| Result | Implemented |
| Remarks | IMPLEMENTED - The administration will implement this without the resolution. |
| Whereas | During the Spring 2002 semester the University announced they would no longer mail printed grade reports ' a move that they estimated at the time would save approximately $16,000 a year; and |
| Whereas | Cost savings and the fact that other major UT System schools had already taken this step were cited when the decision was made; and |
| Whereas | Each semester the University prints countless paper schedules as well as makes the information available via SAM on the web and on the phone; and |
| Whereas | As soon as the printed schedule is made available it is already out of date and students are already told to check the online schedule for updates; and |
| Whereas | The University of Texas has announced they will not print a summer course schedule and that their last printed course schedule will be the Fall 2003 course schedule; and |
| Whereas | Taking a similar step at UTA would save quite a bit of money and could possibly prevent or at least lessen the need to cut other student services during this budget crunch. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | Effective as soon as possible the University of Texas at Arlington ceases to print and distribute paper-based course schedules. |
