Millersville University, Faculty Senate

TO: FACULTY SENATE
FROM: ACADEMIC POLICIES COMMITTEE
DATE: 6 MAY 1997
RE: AMENDMENT TO GOVERNANCE MANUAL OPTION POLICY

Motion:

To amend the current wording of Item 11, p. 70 of the Governance Manual concerning academic options:

To the following:

APC further recommends that this policy be effective starting with the Spring 1998 semester.

Rationale:
*Departments may find that transfer students will have nearly or fully completed their option at another institution (particularly when the first institution is offering courses at the 100 or 200 level that MU teaches at the 200 or 300 level).

*While the Governance Manual currently applies a "50% rule" to majors and minors, it does not do so for options. In order to maintain the integrity of MU's options similar to our majors and minors, APC believes that the rule should be extended to include options as well.
