UCAPC approved the program submissions subject to (1) correction of errors throughout the program submissions with regard to "Total" degree credit hour requirements and (2) adding appropriate notations to the General Education "required substitutions" to indicate that they are counted in specified program areas. Finally, the committee strongly recommended modifications to programs where there appears notes referencing "10 credits apply to Life Science Electives," etc.. Committee representatives will again work with the college to correct these errors and incorporate modifications.

Following the meeting, the COSM made the required changes. Thus, details of ALL COSM program changes (above and as pertain to the February 24 UCAPC review) are to be resubmitted to Faculty Senate, April 7 and are available in PDF below. Because it is not possible for the UCAPC to re-review this submission, it is recommended that the COSM departments and curriculum committee continue to review it to assure its accuracy prior to the Senate meeting.

        COSM Program Changes Fall 2003

Lake Campus: Program changes submitted for the Associate of Arts degrees.

The committee noted the need for several changes, including (1) changing the course titles of ENG 101, ENG 102,  HST 102, HST 103, and BIO 107 to the current GE program course titles, (2) modifying the ENG 101 and MTH 145 placement testing or prerequisites, (3) changing the BIO 114 requirement (no longer in the new GE) to BIO 111, (4) changing "GE Electives" to read "GE", and (5) changing references to "(meets Area XXX GE requirement)"  to "(counts as Area XXX requirement)". Subject to these changes, UCAPC approved the program submissions.

Electronic copies of the Lake Campus program changes were not made available. They will be provided in preparation for the April 7 meeting of the Faculty Senate.

All UCAPC approvals (absent Course Modifications and Inventories, except for GE courses) are subject to review and approval by the Faculty Senate and, as determined by the Faculty Executive Committee and the Faculty Senate, further review and approval at General Faculty Meetings. 

In preparation for the remaining academic year Faculty Senate meetings, the UCAPC scheduled it Spring Quarter meetings for April 21 and May 19. Colleges submitting curriculum and policy proposals for review by the committee need to submit the original and 18 copies NO LATER THAN 12:00 Noon., April 11 for consideration at the April 21 meeting and NO LATER THAN 12:00 Noon., May 9 for consideration at the May 19 meeting.

Curriculum and policy proposals received after May 9 (no exceptions) will be forwarded to next year's UCAPC for consideration in September or October 2003.

NOTE: any curriculum or policy proposals that must go before the Faculty Senate for approval this academic year must be submitted to the UCAPC by the April 11 deadline because IF approved by the UCAPC at its April 21 meeting,  the Faculty Senate will consider it as New Business at its May 5 meeting and Old Business to be voted upon at its June 2 meeting (unless there is a suspension of the rules). Thus, submissions to the UCAPC after April 11 will (could) likely be carried over for approval by the Faculty Senate next October 2003. Also, curriculum or policy proposals approved by the Faculty Senate at the May 5 meeting (or under a suspension of the rules at the June 3 meeting) that must go before the General Faculty Meeting will not be considered until the General Faculty Meeting of November 2003.
