Open Forum A. Professional Licensure Excel Sheet (Holmes)

1. The State Board is maintaining a spreadsheet that would be beneficial if it was accessible to IT personnel for automating licensure processes. This automation aims to ensure compliance when students take online classes or declare a major while being out-of-state. The goal is to retrieve information from the spreadsheet and incorporate it into the necessary documentation. Currently, the spreadsheet is static, and there's uncertainty about where it will be housed and if it will be readable. There are ongoing updates, and there has been consideration of using a solution from Gov Co. due to its useful features like mapping. However, there is no current update on the status of this initiative. B.
