Course Drop Date Policy:
The committee reviewed the
recommendations of changes to the Course Drop Date Policy as drafted by
the Petitions Committee and forwarded to UCAPC by the Faculty Senate
Executive Committee. The committee praised the Petitions Committee for
its diligent work in researching the issue and presenting an excellent
report. The Petitions Committee recommendation is as follows:
After much discussion and reports of committee members as to the feedback from their colleges, it was decided to make a substitute proposal to the Faculty Senate. The committee's substitute recommendation is based on the objective to move all undergraduate students to a single drop date under the constraint that the drop date meet the 60% minimum deadline for students receiving financial aid. Hence, the committee recommends in substitute to "Recommendation item (2)" contained in the above that: "The
drop date for all students shall be the same and at the end of the
seventh week (ending on Saturday) of the quarter. Since summer has
three terms (A, B and C) the breakdown would be the middle (Wednesday)
of the the fourth week for each of the summer A and B, and the end of
the seventh week for summer C."
Spring Quarter Meeting Schedule The committee set its Spring Quarter meetings for April 12 and May 17. All proposals from colleges must be received with the original plus 19 copies by March 31, 12:00 noon for the April 12 UCAPC meeting and by May 5, 12:00 noon for the May 17 UCAPC meeting. Submissions received after the May 5 deadline will be considered by the UCAPC next academic year at the the September or October 2004 meeting. The UCAPC cannot make exceptions to the established deadlines. IMPORTANT NOTE: Any curriculum or academic policy proposals that must go before the Faculty Senate for approval this academic year must be submitted to the UCAPC by the March 31 deadline because IF approved by the UCAPC, the Faculty Senate will consider it as New Business at it May 3 meeting and act on it as Old Business at its June 7 meeting. |
