Senate & Senate Standing Committee Tips
Senate Meetings “Regular meetings of the Senate shall be held on the second Friday of each month at 2:30pm from October to June, both inclusive, except in the months when Convocations are held when meetings shall be held on the Friday in the week preceding Convocation; provided that when the day set for a regular meeting of the Senate is a statutory or other public holiday, the meeting shall be held on the preceding Friday. A Senate Orientation session shall be held in September.” “The Senate shall not remain in session later than five o'clock p.m., except by unanimous consent or, failing that, by a two-‐thirds vote of the members present.”
Communication
• Email is used to a significant degree in all committees. It is imperative that members check their email regularly and inform the appropriate contact person of any changes to their email address.
• Students must use their University of Windsor email address. • Please ensure you have the latest version of Adobe on your machine. • Senate and Senate Standing Committee agendas and supporting documentation will be sent to you by
email one week prior to the meeting.
*Starred Items Appearing on the Agenda As per the June 3, 2004 Senate meeting, ‘starred’ items will not be discussed during a scheduled meeting unless a member specifically requests that a ‘starred’ agenda item be ‘unstarred’, and therefore open for discussion/debate. This can be done any time before (by forwarding the request to the secretary) or during the meeting. By the end of the meeting, agenda items which remain ‘starred’ (*) will be deemed approved or received.
Your Senate or Standing Committee Package A package containing the agenda/supporting documentation will be emailed to you in one combined PDF file for easy printing. Also included in this email will be the minutes from the previous meeting. You may print this information prior to the meeting OR if using an iPAD, tablet or laptop you may want to explore one of the paperless options for navigating documents. ACCESSING & NAVIGATING YOUR DOCUMENTS WITH EASE In an attempt to accommodate the different types of technologies being used to view the materials prior to and during the Senate and Standing Committee meetings, we are now offering the following options. Use the Direct Web Link: The direct web link to the Senate meetings, contain links to the agenda/supporting documentation for the current meeting and past meetings. http://www.uwindsor.ca/secretariat/7/senate or Use the Combined PDF’s Emailed to You. One week prior to each meeting you will receive an email containing Page 13 of 16
two combined PDF’s, one containing the agenda/supporting documentation and one containing the minutes.
• Once you click on either the meeting date on our website or the combined PDF emailed to you the documentation will open up a PDF file using Adobe.
• The combined PDF file will contain overall page numbering that is located in the lower left hand side of each page and may be used to refer you to a particular item.
• There is also an item number in each document (Example 5.5.1) • We have added a Bookmark feature (This can be accessed by opening this file in Adobe Pro). If the
bookmarks do not appear when the document opens, just click on the icon that looks like a cut ribbon on the left hand side of the page. Separate bookmarks have been created for the agenda item. Just click on the bookmark created for the item number you are interested in and it will take you directly to that item. This will help you to navigate through the document with increased efficiency and ease.
• Links to other documents not included in the combined pdf such as PDC supporting documentationwill still be contained under the Rationale/Approvals section.
• A thumbnail image feature is also available. (This can be accessed by clicking on the icon on the left hand side of the page that looks like two separated pages.) This gives you a smaller view of each page and if you use the scroll button of that feature you can navigate to your desired page quickly as the page numbers are located at the bottom of each one of the small pages.
• As you probably already know you can press Ctrl and F simultaneously and a text box will pop up. Type in the word that you are searching for, press enter and it will take you there. Press the down arrow to take you to the next instance.
For iPad users • The ibooks app can be downloaded from the Apple website. • You may find this useful to navigate through the Senate document as you would a book.

The process will require participants to know their uwin Id and their password. Once the voter logs on it will be a matter of clicking to cast their vote – always follow the instructions outlined.
