At todays meeting we spent a mojority of the time revising the retake policy for students that have both quarter and semseter classes on their DARS report.  For an updated copy of the policy please email me and I can send you the revisions we made today.

We also looked into revising the military experience for school credit policy.   We did not change anyhting on this policy, but we did look at how some of the experiences would translate to academic credit.  Read more about UCAPC Feb 23

At this meeting several more classes were approved to be entered into the work flow as completed, meaning they have transitioned from a quarter to a semester class. 

We had a lengthy discssion on the topic of college entrance requirements and if they met up with those of the university.  It seems several colleges have conflicting requirements, possibly lowert than that of the university.  As we approved conversions to "Semester style" requirements, some issues were raised, such as change of major applications and gpa requirements.

At yesterdays meeting the committee approved several more classes top be converted from quarter sections to semester sections.  We tabled the discussion on the air science minor until next quarter as we are waiting on more information from some people on the base.  We heard a presentation from the registrar outlining a few proposed changes to the fresh start program.  The committee nixed the idea of adding a GPA threshhold, and is still discussing whether having an associates degree should exclude a student from the policy.     Read more about UCAPC

The majority of the meeting was spent discussing the issue of class time blocks once the school transitions to semesters.  If you are curious as to what the time blocks were come see me, but the committee voted to recommend to the faculty senate use the adopted time blocks that were already voted upon in 2009.  
The problem arises when we switch to semesters that there will not be enough 'Large' classrooms available to teach the desired number of large classes.  The term large refers to classes 75 and over.   Read more about 9/29 Meeting
