VII. Committee accomplishments including recommendations to agencies other
than the Faculty Senate

A. November 17, 1980 - Supported the request to the Committee on
Committees from the Division of Continuing Education that the Com-
mittees appoint a person from the Division to serve on the Ad-
missions Committee as an ex officio member.

January 2, 1981 - Recommended a policy to limit the number of
hours a student may take in the Division of Continuing Education
while attempting to gain admission to the University.

Students who do not meet freshmen admission requirements to

the University may be enrolled in the Division of Continuing
Education, Students who are enrolled under this policy (The
30-Hour Rule) must satisfactorily complete at least 230 somester
hours of credit with a minimum grade point average of 2.0 and
meet the mathematics entrance requirement to be admitted to the
University. A student may not attempt more than 44 semester
hours while enrolled under The 30-Hour Rule. Failure to achieve

a 2.0 GPA and meet the mathematics entrance requirement after

attempting 44 semester hours will result in the student being

ineligible for any additional work with any unit of the University;

this does not preclude a student's right to appeal. a

* A student who meets the mathematics entrance requirement while
enrolled under the provisions of The 30-Hour Rule may b> admitted

to the University without completing 30 semester hours if tae
student meets all other freshmen entrance requirements.

C. The Committee has heard appeals from 462 students since the last
report to the Faculty Senate.
