Monty Nielsen - Registrar
Enrollment lists detailing student enrollment in more than one section of the same course and students enrolled in more than 18 credit hours have been sent to the colleges.
The format for the spring 2005 Final Exam Schedule has been changed.
There continues to be a challenge with regard to scheduling and classroom availability.
Faculty Senate will be considering how to manage the employment of prerequisite screening in LASER. There are questions revolving around the absolute denial of students to a course if they do not have the established prerequisite course(s). The notion of providing a "warning" was discussed. What appears to be lacking are clear operational definitions for a prerequisite in the context of a particular course or courses being recommended or required. As faculty in colleges review the prerequisites for courses they need to be clear in what the difference is between "eligibility" (such as sophomore standing); a required prerequisite (MATH 100); a recommended course prerequisite (MATH 100 prior to enrollment in statistics) and a co-requisite.
David Stewart - Academic Affairs
The standard class meeting time policy (SCMT) was passed by Faculty Senate. CAPP will need to continue to review/evaluate the SCMT policy so changes can be recommended and implemented in time for the spring 2006 course schedule (approximately 5/05).
A sub-committee of Academic Affairs and Student Senate has been established to "re-review" the drop policy.
A presentation on assessment was made to the senate. There is progress being made and it appears that we will be prepared for the interim review by North Central.
Betty Stevens - Continuing Education
Evening College enrollment has increased from 600 to 1300 in one year.
Mike Lynch - Education and Personal Development
No Report
The minutes of the October 13, 2004 meeting were approved.
Kevin Donnelly - Final Exam Policy
Gunile DeVault has given Kevin an update version for consideration. Monty Nielsen shared a copy of the Final Exam Schedule so members would be familiar with the change in format.
Ray Hightower - Academic Definitions
Discussion of the draft of the academic definitions was postponed until December. Ray will obtain information from Beth Unger's outreach staff.
Ray Hightower - Advising Procedures
Each college indicated they would like to receive the contents of the student file after the student changes curriculum. Members were reminded to send the file via campus mail.

Kerri Keller and Jennifer Brantley - University Recognition of the Disney Experience
Kerri Keller and Jennifer Brantley presented detailed information regarding the university's participation in the Disney College Program. The primary issue is should Kansas State University continue to participate in this program. Continued participation enables students to maintain full-time status as well as ensuring a more structured experience for the student due to faculty involvement. Keller and Brantley prepared information describing the pros and cons of continued involvement, statistics related to offers, positions held by students in Disney etc. They also provided sample packets given to Kansas State University's students participating in experiential learning. Committee members expressed a range of views, mostly positive, on the program and our continued involvement. Committee members will read the material and asked that this item be placed on the December agenda.
Mike Perl - Babies in Class
Since Mike wasn't here, Ray Hightower asked members to read catalog p. 27 and the student life section of the telephone book sections D4 and D38 for references on this topic. Please be prepared to discuss at the next meeting.
