Subject: Tomorrow's
Meeting
Dear Senate,
Here is the Co-op Committee proposal we will be considering this week. I will have written copies tomorrow. It is followed by a fourth Academic Policies proposal that Rich France will bring to Senate formally tomorrow.

| From: Bill Dorman Sent: Monday, February 7, 2000 2:03 PM To: Joel Piperberg Subject: Senate agenda Please add the following the next senate agenda: The faculty cooperative education committee would like to formalize their current policy of awarding a minimum of three (3) credits for Coop 200, Coop 300, Coop 400, and Coop 500. They would also like to increase the maximum from six credits. This change would comply with policies that already exist in various departments. Occasionally, a student will ask to do an experience for a single credit because that's all he/she needs for graduation. We need to eliminate this. Also, there are experiences that run for longer time periods that we would like to be able to accommodate--the reason for the elimination of the 6 credit maximum. |
Proposal #4 from the Academic Policies Committee
Study at other institutions
The current policy on p 88 of the Governance Manual reads
Section 3: Undergraduate Academic Policies Study at Other Institutions
Any student with a cumulative quality point average of 2.0 or better who wishes to pursue any part of Millersville's program at a different institution will be required to secure approval in advance from the advisor, the department chairperson, and the registrar. "Authorization for Transfer of Credit" forms are available from the registrar and should be filed with the registrar after approvals have been obtained. Courses failed at Millersville may not be repeated at another institution.
The committee recommends that "with a cumulative quality point average of 2.0 or better" be removed from the current policy.
Rationale: The Enrollment Management Committee suggested that the current rule deters students from remaining at Millersville if not allowed to take courses close to home during summer or winter breaks. Students must still get approval from their academic advisor, departmental chair and Registrar's office prior to taking such a course.
The new policy should read:
| Section 3: Undergraduate Academic Policies
Study at Other Institutions Any student who wishes to pursue any part of Millersville's program at a different institution will be required to secure approval in advance from the advisor, the department chairperson, and the registrar. "Authorization for Transfer of Credit" forms are available from the registrar and should be filed with the registrar after approvals have been obtained. Courses failed at Millersville may not be repeated at another institution. |
