Effective Fall 2009
Proposal is approved by CAPP, and we will send it to Academic Affairs for their consideration.
The draft is almost complete. This will take a significant time to go through. We will have a meeting May 20th at 10:30 am to focus on this topic.
May 2007 was last time we did a review of the Non-standard classes. The committee is supposed to annually review what was approved the previous year. Are classes still using those times, have they worked, etc.?
Lynn will send us a list of courses for each College to follow up on at the regular May meeting.
Kari Nap, Elizabeth Hansen-Devaux, Janie Sackrider provided information on validation of international and study abroad courses.
Students are confused about where to start the validation process (Admissions or College Dean’s office, etc). After much discussion about the process, it was decided to have the student start in the Admission’s Office. Staff in Admissions and the Registrar’s Office will post the courses in iSIS and DARS. Personnel in the Dean’s Offices in the Colleges will then apply the courses to degrees. Admissions will work with the Colleges this summer to update databases to except automatic credit for courses from international universities that our students attend frequently.
We will discuss this more at the next meeting.
Faculty senate elections are over, and we will have a new group of senators.
The General Education policy will go to Faculty Senate next week.
