7. AAC and UCORE Course proposal (Exhibit Z) as follows:

TO:                 Sheila Converse, Executive Secretary Faculty Senate

FROM:           Becky Bitter, Registrar’s Office

FOR:              Academic Affairs Committee

DATE:           7 November 2013

SUBJECT:    Endorsement of UCORE Course Approval Proposal

At its meeting on November 5, 2013, AAC reviewed and endorsed the following proposal from Mary Wack, for the UCORE Committee, on assisting students who are following the UCORE general education program.

As is outlined, students who are under the UCORE general education program and who took a course prior to it gaining UCORE status could have it count as a UCORE in their degree audit.

AAC fully endorses this approach to help students bridge any gaps in their UCORE requirements that are caused as a result of the transition to the new general education program.

From: Wack, Mary

Sent: Monday, October 28, 2013 10:15 AM

To: Zack, Richard Stanly,Jr; Parks, Craig; Rosenman, Robert E; Greenberg, Robert R

Cc: Pomerenk, Julia Anne; Guerrero, Lisa

Subject: UCORE proposal

Good morning, all:

In a perfect world, general education reform would have been carried out in such a way that all courses were approved before students started entering under the new requirements. Unfortunately, such was not possible, resulting in situations such as the one noted below—a student took a course that subsequently became a UCORE course, but is not auditing as such because of the date it was taken.

In order to aid students’ time to degree, and reduce the workload of petitions on all parties, the UCORE Committee would like to propose an administrative adjustment to the advisement reports (technical verification that this is possible is still pending). This adjustment would allow all approved UCORE courses to count toward UCORE requirements starting Fall 12, when the new requirements were effective for freshmen. It would use an internal course list to match against UCORE requirement areas.

The beneficiaries will primarily be students who entered Fall 12 and Fall 13 under UCORE requirements. This would allow those two cohorts to “catch up” to the full set of approved courses. The potential drawback is that some students may end up with a course taken for a requirement that will be retroactively fulfilled. We think the number will be far fewer than those who will benefit from the change.

This appeared to the UCORE group to be an administrative adjustment, but the group wanted to check with Senate leadership to make sure that you all agree with this view of the process, and support the change. Ideally, this would be put into place ASAP so that students and advisors could see the results on the advisement reports before pre-registration. Please let me know if you have concerns.

AAC has recommended that this be implemented immediately.
