UC Student Entrance and Exit
Report
submitted by the University College per the June 2005 Faculty Senate
Charge to UCAPC
The committee reviewed the
report and discussed at length its contents and alternative means of
successfully improving the movement of students from UC into degree
granting majors in the colleges and departments. The committee
commended the work of the UC in terms of all its initiatives and
accomplishments in meeting its goals, especially considering the
external factors beyond their control, including increased college and
department admission requirements such as GPA requirements, specific
course requirements, and credit hours earned requirements, as well as
incoming preparation of students for higher education study. Overall,
the committee recommends that more university resources be allocated to
the individual colleges so that college and departmental advising of
students can simultaneously be conducted within UC and within the
students intended college and departmental major.
Some Historical Background
of
University College provided by UCAPC
Dual Enrollment Program (Ohio Senate Bill 311) -- (in part requires universities to offer college credit on high school campuses) This matter was not presented to
UCAPC for action but rather by the chair as a FYI to inform UCAPC and
forward such to the Faculty Senate as a FYI. The purpose being that it
was believed that most faculty are not aware of the Ohio Senate Bill
311 which according to best information has been passed and signed into
law as of April 2007. Below is the (1) relevant Excerpt from 311 as it
pertains to higher education institutions, (2) the WSU Operating
Guidelines to conform to 311 as developed by the Provost's Office in
consultation with the dean's, etc., and (3) an internet link to
the complete Bill 311.

Enrollment Program 2007-08 Operating
