CECS: General Education Area VI -- College Component Policy

At the January 13 UCAPC meeting, the Policy was approved subject to review and approval by the General Education Implementation Committee (GEIC). The chair reported that on February 20 the GEIC approved the policy based on the understanding that it does not apply to non-CECS majors or restrict non-CECS majors from enrolling in the EGR 190 course upon earning not more than 45 credit hours.

COSM: Rescind Approval of EH 452

At the January 13 meeting the committee approved the COSM proposal for EH 452. The COSM  resubmitted the course for the February 10 meeting. At that time, additional information brought to the committee indicated that the same course was submitted in past years and the COLA, Department of Political Science filed an objection to the course . As a result, UCAPC rescinded its approval of the course. It will be withdrawn from the Registrar's Office. See below for additional information.

General Education Program: Approved substitution sequences

The committee brought to the attention of the GEIC the changes in two substitution sequences (1) BIO 112, 114, 115 changed to BIO 111, 112, 115 and (2) MUS 121 changed to MUS 121 and 122. GEIC also approved the changes.

*  Note: In the interim of the February 10 and 24 meetings and immediately following the latter, committee members worked extensively with each of the colleges to correct errors and encourage colleges to make improvements in program changes, as well as inform individual colleges of impacts created by program changes in other colleges. The process of program changes was particularly difficult given the compressed time frame in which program changes had to be accomplished following approval of the Fall 03 General Education Program and the iterative inter-college impacts resulting from  course modifications.  The committee is grateful to the colleges for their quick turnaround necessary for the UCAPC reviews, subsequent recommendations to the Faculty Senate, and incorporation into the new Undergraduate Catalog. However, it should be that minor changes in the above approved programs may still occur.

The next meeting is scheduled for March 17 (1:00 p.m.). Colleges submitting curriculum and policy proposals for review by the committee need to submit the original and 18 copies no later than March 6.
