AGENDA

Respectfully submitted by Keith R. Kleckner for the Steering Committee.

A. Old Business:

1. Motion from the University Committee on Undergraduate Instruction regarding credit awarded for courses numbered 000 to 099 (Ms. Eberwein; Mr. Chipman). Item B.I. from the agenda at 14 November 1985.

a. Main Motion

MOVED that course numbers 000 to 099 be designated for skill development courses specially designed to aid incoming students who have significant deficiencies in their academic background to prepare for courses numbered 100 and above. Credits earned in these courses may not be presented to satisfy minimal graduation requirements in any academic program. These courses are included in the student's GPA.

Any changes involving the numbering of courses in the range 000 to 099 are subject to the approval of the University Committee on Undergraduate Instruction.

 This policy is to be implemented in the 1987-88 academic year, with the University using the intervening time to inform area high school and community college personnel of the new policy.

b. Amendment (Mr. Appleton; Ms. Hamilton)

Delay implementation date until the 1989-90 academic year.

Second Reading: Debatable, amendable, and eligible for final vote at this meeting.

B. New Business
        None.

C. Good and Welfare:

         Private Resolutions.

D. Information Items
