Certificate Task Force has developed general requirement areas and are requesting Certificate Directors provide justification (purpose and goals) for their certificates; certificate requirements, types of accountability necessary to measure success for students who earn certificate; and budget and staff required for program.
The General Education Steering Comm. is compiling its final report for Provost Nellis and Faculty Senate President Spears.
For the record, all CAPP members except Donnelly, Nielsen, and Ewanow (had sub.) attended Mike Crow's excellent LASER demo. on 12-21-2004, with an emphasis on the use of course prerequisites.
Admissions/Financial Aid - Moeder not present
Registrar (LASER, etc.) - Monty reminded everyone that the course prerequisites need to be approved by May 5th. Members noted that changes must be processed by college committees and AAC soon to meet that deadline. Mike Crow mentioned in LASER meeting that they were expecting results from a survey that Jackie Spears sent to the faculty. Ray asked if Monty knew who presented a report on LASER to the Dean's Council. Monty didn't know unless it was Director Jennifer Gerritz.
Academic Affairs/Faculty Senate - Stewart not present
Continuing Education - Bette informed members that F'03, had 46 classes taught, using at most 29 rooms at any one time. F'04, had ?? classes taught, using at most 38 rooms at any one time. She doesn't expect any more large increase in demand.
Educational & Personal Development - Mike stated that KSU uses National Student Clearing House which checks where student goes when they leave one university (used for athletic records and loans, etc. to allow these students to be removed from retention data, graduation rate data, etc.). Besides name and birthdays, subsets of their data can be searched, such as academic info. from other schools (GPA, types of courses completed, etc.). They presently have 2700 schools in their database. KSU must pay for use of this data and provide our own data, but it might be useful to our colleges. Contact him if you want more information.

Ray Hightower for Cooper - curricula change paper process; considerable discussion with respect to accuracy of DARS data. Consensus: Colleges need the paper transcripts.
Ray Hightower - V/Var. credit courses (was 1-18 prior to per credit hour fees; should it be 0-18?)
Consensus: limits for V/Var. credit courses should be defined as 0-18 hours in order to be consistent with Faculty Senate's decision to allow variable courses to be zero (0) credit and students not be charged for participating in courses such as marching band, military science courses, etc. (these changes occurred when the university changed to per credit-hour fees).
Ray Hightower - Academic Definitions (with emphasis on Prerequisites) ... postponed
Ray Hightower - Faculty needs for a Seminar Room (bring feedback) ... no report
